But ended up with this one. Dodge Charger, basically a Chrysler 300 with a different set of clothes.

Are these pics in Orlando, if so is it the Bella Vida Resort?
I owned a house there until recently, and last time I was there I rented a Chrysler 300. It was a lovely car, drove it down to Key West, was a real joy.

Same with all yanks.

My pontiac was shite.

205 amd 215 tyres on 15" rims, standard tyre profile was 78% in those days so 205/78/15 and 215/78/15.

But the car on 215VR60/15 Pirelli P6's and it was sooooooooooooooooo different, handling and stability changed instantly, grip was mega.


So imagine the same car with 2" bigger rims and low profiles.

Bet the hired one had a 2.7 litre under the hood.
Had the 2.7 in both a Charger AND a Magnum that I hired stateside. Rather gutless, sadly, although like a complete prat I still managed to drift and fish tail the ar$e end of the Charger down an Orlando highway...completely by accident honestly. Wife gave me a good beating for that little stunt !
