Dodge Challenger!!!

[Mighty Thor]

Those things are freaking fast!!!

I saw nice brand spanking new orange one. I'm not sure if that's a regular hemi or the top version of that car, because I was at the left back side. But I saw him gunning it at the stop light, because this impatient Chevy truck driver has been cutting in traffic and wants to get in the freeway faster than everybody else. Well I guess this Challenger who he lined up with at the stop light was not going to let him.

Light turn green and that thing was gone!! I literally wet my pants. The sound was amazing too.

It looks exactly like this from my view. Not 100% sure if I saw a hemi emblem or not because it went so fast:

Re: Dodge Challenger!!!

must have been the srt8 6.1 liter.
the rt versions are kinda slow i think. low 14s high 13s in the 1/4
thats like lt1 speed, which is a 13+ year old motor haha

Re: Dodge Challenger!!!

The dodge dealer i worked at had a 6.1 hemi version like a week before anyone else, I dont know how, and they thought it was alright to let the 17 year old kid drive it, ya, theyre pretty fast. lol.

Re: Dodge Challenger!!!

I got to sit in one of the SRT8 Challengers. It was the first one that made it to this area and the guy that owned it brought it to a local meet. Was very clean and sounded amazing. But still a very heavy car.

Also saw a blue R/T while picking my sister up from school.

Re: Dodge Challenger!!!

test drove a 6speed r/t in november. it was one of the easier cars to drive around. tho it was fairly quiet

Re: Dodge Challenger!!!

the r/t is the same as a hemi charger or hemi c. nothing special. the orange ones are mostly the 6.1 srt8 that they first came out with, only came in hemi orange.
they are so heavy, so even with a good bit-o-hp's they arent fast...

Re: Dodge Challenger!!!

I like the look of them , but they are just too heavy unless they put a 600 hp motor in there then that would be nice. What do they weigh? I saw it somewhere it was over 4000 LBS, I want to say 4200 lBS. Did they go back to all metal cars?LOL

Re: Dodge Challenger!!!

They are nice, but I'd bring the suspension down about 2" and widen those skinny-arse tires. :rock:
Ain't nothin' I hate more is to see a retro, or even an old muscle car with skinny tires on all 4 corners. 275-40's (or wider) would look killer on that! As long as they don't stick out past the fenders...

Just my input...

Re: Dodge Challenger!!!

way over priced imo.
