Challengers are fat. They're only nice in pictures when they airbrush that 600lb's away

Love the new challenger, glad to see it didn't succumb to being a 4 door automatic like the charger did. You can get the 426 hemi in the new ones and the pistol grip shifter. Wonder if they are going to make a Vanishing Point remake with the new one. That'd be awesome. -Jeff.

They have been around for months. Gary Barbera's summer house is like 10 houses from me. He has a black one and orange. I seen my first silver one like a month ago. I like the look. First Chrysler product i'd consider buying

Saw one in Glassboro the other day on 47.... was trying to race him but he didn't seem too interested meh. I just wanted to embarass him in front of his girl.

It's most likely the dealership owners toy he played with for a few months. They do that crap at Fette all the time. The owner would 'borrow' the Saleens and Roushs and put several hundred miles on them then bring them back and try and sell them as new.

I know a guy who did that with a GT500, except he gave it to his 18 year old son

I have seen a few of them around. I just have to ask, why did MOPAR make a sunroof an option? It looks completely retarded and you know that anyone who dropped the coin on the car is just going to turn on the AC anyway.

had to be custom painted b/c they didnt make them in White...atleast not the first year ones.
i saw a burghandy one at the Merchantville carshow...it was pretty sharp. started life as a black one but they did a good job of the color change.
id love to have one but its a hefty price, not to mention the mark up they are getting right now. another few months and they'll be sitting on dealers' lots going below sticker just like the GT500s.
