New Challenger here in town

Bradleyrj · 07-01-2008, 09:27 PM

Stopped in Murrells Inlet today to snap a few pics of the Challenger.

The good:
This car SCREAMS "I'm bad ass", it demands respect from just being present.
Build quality looks better than the typical Dodge. Panels line up, lines flow well.
BIG BRAKES! 20 inch rims and they are full of brakes.

The bad:
The car is BIG.. and not just on power. Big in stature, its all, its long, it's wide.

The "Carbon fiber" strips are decals. As opposed to a carbon hood and painted over orange sides.
Automatic, I realize this wont be the only option in the future but not good now.

I also saw two black and one orange SRT on a trailer while traveling between Myrtle Beach and Columbia today.

There is a black one in Summerville, sc also. Dealership here is auctioning it. STARTING bids at 42k.

Yep. got to love 1st year production of a car coming out.

I need to go check it out. Afterwards, fill their breezeway with bellowing tire smoke. Hoover has some scavenger type salesmen. They fall out of the building as soon as you hit the lot and follow your vehicle. I always drive around and make them follow. Sometimes I will drive through just for something to do.

There is a dealer like that back home. I actually one catch my car one time and tap on the deck lid to get my attention as I was driving real slow. I went balistic on him.

However, next year's Plum Crazy 6 speed vert should be cool.

Is it true that this years model does NOT have a posi?

snakeplissken · 07-03-2008, 10:26 AM

No posi this year.

that is BS. Why have a sports car/performance car and not have one? Retarded.
