Whatta Muscle Car!!! New Dodge Challenger

devarshi84 · 28th January 2009, 12:46

There is no point except for the fact that its a muscle car.

ananthkamath · 30th January 2009, 02:21

That's my point exactly.

Nitin · 30th January 2009, 02:47

No big deal.I feel the stock Challenger is good by itself. And ~$7k for the kit...hmm.. how many takers?

devarshi84 · 30th January 2009, 04:16

$7K is just for the supercharger it seems. :P

torqueunlimited · 30th January 2009, 09:10

Absolutely boring, impractical american muscle. Yawn.

devarshi84 · 30th January 2009, 09:26

Not everyone who value FE can understand the impracticality of American Muscle. And this may just be a personal opinion. I have many friends sharing the same sentiment.

Looks like a Contessa mod job gone wrong

What's the FE?

devarshi84 · 30th January 2009, 09:50

Read my earlier post. You wouldnt have posted for FE if you would love American Muscle.

Somethings are just for the heart and not the mind or Wallet. the entire limited run of 2008 was pre-sold out mostly at a premium. 2009 again doing pretty well.

Please do start a thread with your experiences when you buy it. Look forward to it.

american muscle fans would be mildly disappointed to hear that most of the chassis is carried over from the previous gen E-class minus the finesse.

devarshi84 · 30th January 2009, 11:15

let's describe it in detail without finesse. The current gen Dodge Challenger is based on the platform lent by Diamler Benz for the Chrysler 300 (Another super succesful car.) and Dodge Charger and magnum called the LX platform.

The chassis has been shortened for the challenger and because it handles like an American Muscle and not a European car, it's bad.

In this world of Globalization even a Japanese car aint Japanese. You know it. They are built right here in NA.

That is funny. super successful? come on now, it barely sold enough to get out of its own way.

devarshi84 · 30th January 2009, 11:24

can you put up figures to back your statement? dont compare it with Accord and camry as they belong to different segments.

The 300C was the 2005 Motor Trend Car of the Year and was on Car and Driver's Ten Best list for 2005 and 2006. It also won the North American Car of the Year and Canadian Car of the Year Best New Luxury Car awards. According to a 2005 Chrysler advertisement, the 300 is the most-awarded new car ever.

There are many Americans who yearn for the same.
