Tonight much to my surprise I got a peek at the new Dodge Challenger. In the most random scenario at that, this thing was on the top bunk of an open freight semi. Just clinging on to the back like a would be civic. Of course in "Hemi Orange" with the black detailing, nothing less. I wish I had my camera on me because it was just awe inspiring.

stock footage:

Now I'm very rarely one for a domestic but this thing is sooooooooo sweet looking. hail.gif
Especially in person, a picture doesn't do this thing justice. Now I wont have the 40K+ any time in the near future for one, and even if I did a Gk or Genesis Coupe would be a much wiser investment, but damn if this isn't' one sexy car!

glad you got a chance to see it.

the camaro looks good, but i already see who's going to be driving them. 16 year old high school rich kids, and 55 year old frontyard lawnmowing Dad's who drink miller light and catch sunday night football and remember hitting on their wives in the 70's. i for one don't have much interest for these new cars or their new owners whatsoever.

I haven't seen on in person until today, but again i haven't been looking.
I have to say for a reproduction i am pleasantly impressed. I expected crap and more crap.



Now just to await the inevitable Road Runner reproductions.
MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

That is pretty sweet! fing02.gif
But the color needs to be just a few shades darker for true sexual pleasure.







Edit:
I could swear I typed Dodge Challenger.... oops

Imagine seeing trailers full of them coming from the plant, on their way to Detroit....it was crazy.

I love the car, I think they got it exactly right. I don't care for the orange color really, but in black it's awesome. I was driving back from Toronto on Monday and came across one on the Thruway. We drove together for a bit, and then he took off at at least 100mph. About 2 hours later I see him pulled over by a Statey, lol.
