you see mustangs all the time. And there's a reason, they were the most popular pony car from the start, hince the name "pony car". And then there's the camaro, which I don't think even comes close to the mustang or Challenger. But the Mustang and Camaro were always more popular than the Challenger and the Cuda.

I think the Camaro looks closer to original than the others. I saw on Powerblock on Spike TV weekends a few weekends ago where someone put the old school camaro front on a new school camaro rear. Looked like the Chevy bowtie took a dump and out came that.

For a 50k$ car they arent very fast.

I raced a srt when they first came out and it hardly pulled on me. I own a 94 firebird formula, slightly modded maybe 350hp at the time, but not claiming 425 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque out of a 6.1-liter like the earlier srt8 challengers.

And yes i know they make more power now. I contribute it to the 4170 curb weight, of it being rather slow for the power. And that is the problem i see with all the new big cars, they are as small as they used to be.

Nice Challengers, best looking cars hands down.

I'd Ryan Dunn the hell outta that thing, but sober, not crash, not die, or kill my passenger.

Nice yellow jacket saw one on a transport a couple of months ago.

All of the cars now weigh so damn much, that 420hp aint really nothing considering the hp-to-weight ratio. Why do you think motorcycles walk away from cars with only 130-180 hp? The weight. Plus they all have traction control, stability control, and all kinda other bull****. But for looks, the challenger looks the best IMO, but everyone has their own.

Mine runs a 12.6 with a crappy launch. Not too bad for a 4200lb car. Yeah I've modded mine but its only the 5.7 with a 6speed.

psssshhhhtttt, get that garbage out of here. lol There is one at my dealership. $108k for that??? I think not. I will just step up and just get a ZR1 vette and be done. The GTR is almost just as heavy as the Challenger and Camaro. Its AWD, but for that money, I think I would buy a Subie and add about 30K worth of performance parts. But I guess part of the GTR's appeal, is that you don't see them around all that often. I mean, the Subaru WRX STI is prolly a better car, but when you pull up in front of the mall, people go "that's pretty cool", but you pull up in a GTR, and people are like "WTF is that? Its AWESOME!!!" Kinda like a Lamborgini, they're not all that great of a car, they just don't make a ton of them and they use fancier parts. The GTR is a really cool car tho

I see a supercharger under your hood.

You still spent like 50k on the car. And the supercharger kit prolly set you back 5k atleast if not more.

I have 4500$ into my car, and about 1k$ in mods at the time. ran a 13.4 last time it was out at the track. Rebuilt the motor in my garage now and should be around 400 hp, and still maybe put 800$ into the rebuild. So i have maybe 7k$ into my car, and its shiny, has fancy wheels, weighs 1k pound less then a challenger. and will certainly give it a run for its money now.

It's an RT. I spent $34k plus tax and license. Magnacharger used my car to build their kit so I spent a lot less than you think.
