Why shouldn't I just buy a SRT-8 300c Touring, lop off the front end and graft a Chally front?
You get the cool, unique, retro look of a Challenger, the practicality of an estate and the conversion work from wrong hand drive already done for myself.

Yeah yeah, okay Richard Hammond you aint fooling anyone you amerilarping wanka

charger front ends look pretty decent tho

>Why shouldn't I
Because it's a fair chunk of time, effort, and cash you will never get back. No one is saying you *can't* do it, but those are the logical reasons why you shouldn't.

OP wanted reasons why he shouldn't, and I gave them. Emotional value is irrelevant here. I shouldn't have put 5,000 of my money into my 2,000 sheckle car, but I did because I wanted to. If he wants to, he can, but logically it's not a good idea.

I have an RHD car anon, and even I think you're dumb.

>>28863281
300C was sold in the YooKey in RHD thoughbeit

>>28863281
Yes, LHD is wrong hand drive due to human biology. Sorry you had to find out about it on a Zebra Finch breeding imageboard.

It's literally tied to your abandonment of the Catholic church. And most of us are right-handed, so it makes perfect sense for us to have a shifter on the right

Do it. You will generate constant seethe everywhere you go with your 6.1L 425hp loud ass V8.

bruh I mean if it's what you like though then go for it

>>28863335
It's honestly a toss-up between a SRT-8 and a RX-8. Both would need special maintenance and both would rape my wallet yearly from the stupid road tax.
Shame the Chrysler doesn't come with a manual though.

Really, anon?

>>28863371
The RX8s strong suit is more so the handling, especially compared to a boat like the 300.

Then you should also have similar stories. Or do you drive like a pussy or something, queerbait.

>Why shouldn't I just buy a SRT-8 300c Touring, lop off the front end and graft a Chally front?

Its unibody not body on frame. I'd imagine the thing would crumple like a tin can in a crash and it would have a bunch of body flex in corners.

If you were going to make a wagon out of it I'd take off the trunk and the rear window and then graft on a station wagon backside that would maintain the unibody frame rigidity; but give you a station wagon rear.

>>Why shouldn't I just buy a SRT-8 300c Touring

Oh silly me. I thought you were proposing buying a Challenger and turning it into a wagon not buying a wagon and turning it into a Challenger.

That would be easier. Again you don't want to cut the frame; but in this case you could probably achieve the effect pretty well swapping Challenger body panels onto the 300c unibody which would be simpler than trying to rebuild what would likely have to be a custom built wagon rear end for a Challenger.

Alright, explain why I'm wrong. Dazzle me with your superior intellect.
>>
>>28863547
>>28863554

Or is it that you have no reading comprehension and you didn't realize that I was discussing the concept of splicing two unibody cars together.
>>
>>28863191
That looks like dogshit. Stock, 300C, and charger front ends all 3 look better than that.
>>
>>28863554
>>28863557
Oh, so that makes you even more retarded if you think putting body panels from one LX car onto another LX car is "splicing two unibody cars together"
>>
>>28863525
>>28863534
The Challenger, 300, Charger and Magnum are made on the same platform, like a Nissan S-chassis the front ends of the 4 cars are technically interchangable.
You do have to graft the front ends of the Challenger fenders to the back ends of the 300/Magnum fenders, but that's just some sheet metal work. Everything else is bolt on.
>>
>>28863191
>>28863202
First gen Charger front fits the body lines better
>>
>>28863429
>quiet
oddly enough here the quiet ones are all owned by regular people that don't give a shit that it's slow. then again, it makes sense that someone that doesn't like that would go for a louder exhaust
>>
>>28863569
>Oh, so that makes you even more retarded if you think putting body panels from one LX car onto another LX car is "splicing two unibody cars together"

Dude you can't fucking read can you?

Like you're calling me a retard and you can't even figure out what I'm talking about. No, you dumb faggot, I don't think that putting body panels from one unibody car onto another is splicing two unibody cars together.

But I do think that what OP said.....

>Why shouldn't I just buy a SRT-8 300c Touring, lop off the front end and graft a Chally front

Would be splicing two cars together and it would destroy the rigidity of the unibody.

You should have kept your mouth shut. Every time you reply you just show that you're more retarded than I thought you were. Seriously go take some remedial reading lessons. The public school system has failed you.
>>
>>28863191
for some reason i don't hate it, but i feel it needs more front overhang
>>
>>28863573

Should be pretty easy then. Honestly it would make a really cool looking station wagon if OP did it.
>>
>>28863606
I saw a bodykit that gave it more nose.

You're trolling is lazy and gay and since its outside of /b/ its also against the rules.

They all care, anon. This isn't somebody who's driving a 1956 Bel Air and doesn't care it's slow because it's awesome and a piece of history. This is somebody who spent $25k on a 2022 ""sports car"" that's slow as shit.
>>
>>28863577
yeah but it hardly looks any different from the stock magnum front end

You can probably do it just by unbolting stuff, it'll be a pain because there's probably plastic shit full of clips you need to disconnect but I don't imagine the quarters are actually welded on anywhere. Which is lucky because if you did have to cut stuff, the glow in the dark MOT niggers would probably start complaining and make the process unbearbly gay and retarded. I don't know the particular rules up there but my gut tells me it would at least be in the same league of gayness that we get here down under. You will need to make sure you get the front quarter panels off the Challenger as well as the bumper and shit. FWIW I've actually thought about doing this as well but in my case I was thinking about putting something like >>28863673 on it. Maybe one day, IDK.
>>
>>28863710
My post >>28863673 is a stock Magnum
>>
>>28863718
I'm from Australia and like OP we only got 300s here so for me it would be turning it "back" into a Magnum.
