Tooth speak Truth.

You still have that modded GTO?

I'd say if both vehicles are on an equal playing field in the line of performance mods, I doubt those doors will come off as easily as you might like to think.

Hopefully once they get some street time, modded ones will be seen relatively frequently.

Yup....running 10.8's...that $40K POS runs low 12's. Hell we are installing the blower/meth kit on my new Silverado next week....I'll run em with my pick em up truck

For a shitload less than $40K and still have leather/Bose surround sound/heated captains chairs/GPS etc

Just food for thought, for as many guys on this site that hate this car, ever occur to people that theres tons of people in the general public that love it? They talk to a lot of enthusiasts, mopar nuts, old challenger owners, people with money before they unveil a car like this. Do I think the car has some major flaws? absolutely. Do I think its the piece of shit that people assume it is? No. Its overpriced, theres no manual and its too heavy. Those are my main gripes. However i'm totally not in the market for this car either. That hemi engine although is making 425 horses, the new hemi series is not the gem of an engine I think they hoped it would be and its my opinion that GM's ls series engines flat out whoop its ass. The ls engines make the power but get way better efficiency. Damn hemi motors are freakin thirsty!

just my last 2 cents on the matter - I don't hate the car - I just think it's too heavy, hard on gas and overpriced......

....in the general realm, I think most would agree......

I dont think people are giving it a chance and expecting it to be what the Old Challenger used to be ... Its not a Mustang or a Camaro type car ...
