Whilst on the subject of the challenger

Different perspectives on the car's styling, performance, drivetrain, etc...

Nice pic 'Nana :thumbright:

Thankfully no mishaps at the "Dodge Challenger 500" at Dover on Sat night. The Challengers looked cool pacing a NASCAR pack.

Shame a Toyota won it :roll:

Hi folks,

Saw the new challenger at the spring Fling in Cali.
Not sure what to make of it???
I'm sure it will grow on me?
Talk on the street is; its gonna be unsaleable with the hemi, ( 4 bucks a gallon), and unbuildable if the 35mpg law is passed for all Fleet built cars in the US???
Whats the story on the original Challenger pace cars? As my mate in LA owns one of the 70 440 sixpack convert Pacecars!!!

Bacctastic.

Thanks banananaskin.

Good footage that be!!!

Learn summit new everyday???

Bit of info 4 ya. 71 pacecars were actually revamped 70 cars, as Mother Mopar was being skinflint. If they had serviced the brakes, as well as updating the bodywork, that accident would never had happened???
