I was wondering how the RWD's do in the real winter (the kind with actual snow on the roads and glare ice through all the neighborhoods). You make it sound competant, yet somehow I suspect that isn't the kind of winter I'm thinking about.

I had a suspicion that the AWD was a bit taller than the RWD versions. I'm sure it's more than the 1" difference, but the whole different from the LH to the LX platform. I'll be test driving a few more options after work today and see if I can find myself in another charger to get a second opinion.



Its 1". The offset of the wheels make it seem more as the fronts stick out more than the 2 WD.

I drive 100 miles a day upstate here in the winter which could be 6" or so, I'm sure a lot less than CA. However, the tires make the difference between useless and safe.

You can lower the 2WD with SRT struts and shocks, but they will not work on AWD cars.
