Now that is a sweet ride! #ad
If I were to buy a newer "Muscle" car, that would be it. Very sweet looking.

Ahhh Ill take one but Id rather have the 1970 Challenger, plumb purple, 440 R/T black top 4spd but Id take this one too!!

WOOWWW!!!



I am impressed. That puts the new mustang to shame for retro styling and another hit for DC.

I could see myself in that sweet ride. You can see why DC is passing ford and GM by leaps and bounds. Now I am a ford man saying this. Out of four models 300,magnum (a station wagon for god sakes),charger and now the challenger all have been hugh hits for DC. now lets look at GM-GTO flop, buick lineup just a joke and has anybody every noticed all the lower plastic flairings on all GM products. It's like they have extra parts lying around so they just add them on.

Ford has the new mustang which is a hit. When retroed up look bad but the plain janes look lame. then they intro'd the 500 its as appealing as flat soda, I personally don't think the new Fusion is anything to jump for joy over.



So you can see why DC is smoking the other two.

I seen this on a show on TV a few weeks ago and they said the curb weight would be hefty with it tipping the scales about 4100lbs. While most may not consider that a obstacle remember this,the older versions equipped with a Hemi and a stick were curb weighted at 3750 lbs and these newer ones certainly will not have the potent powerrplant from way back. Ma Mopar needs to remove their collective heads out and into the sunshine again and realize they will not compete with the current Japanese engineered Nacho Wagons or the Furd Turdstains at that embarrassing weight.....

That is the best-looking American car I have seen since my teen years back in the 70's - OUTSTANDING! USA USA USA



Edit: I originally had a line in here about how it would stand out for a kid cruising the local Sonic, but I changed my mind. I want one for myself, let the kids all drive Yotas :-laf :-laf :-laf

Looks great, but there is no way it will turn a 13 flat at 4100lbs with 425hp. The current srt-8 charger and 300s are around 14 on a good day.

They need to make a non-HP version, reduce the weight, put in a V6, and mass market it for the people who want some cool retro transportation w/o all the HP and speed.

I'd like to have one and park it right next to my Mom's '73 Challenger.



That new Challenger looks awesome!
