I welcome all challengers. I can't wait to smack one of those down!

I like the looks, but they really screwed the pooch with that back up light in the middle of the tail lights

I thought that was just dirt? How can it not have a trac lock? 425hp and no limited slip.

The #1 Challenger off the assembly line went for $400K at Barrette-Jackson and the #2 went for $175K. It must be nice to be rich... and stupid.

IMO the car looks OK but it just doesn't have the gutsy look of the original. Look at those wimpy looking fender flares for instance. [:-]
