They all look great. But being supercharged with a complete and balanced suspension changeout at a weight of 3590lbs, I'm still in love with my car. It might sound heavy to some, but compared to all the new cars in the last couple years I guess ours are still pretty agile. Erik

Unless that Challenger was running, I believe the tac is broken. Look at image IMG_2393, it is reading 1000 RPMs may need to hit the shop for a little repair.
The car to me has a cool look to it, but I am sticking with the stang.

Excellent pictures Dan, thanks for taking to post all of those! Can anyone provide me with any information on the wheels in this one picture?

This is the second time i have seen these and I'm wondering if they can be purchased in that 2-tone look or if people are having them painted. Any info would be appreciated.

Lets wait for production Challenger and Camaro to come out and then rate them. I'm thinking the stock models will be plain janes and you never know about the weight. It could even be more

+1. And all the Challanger we're seeing is the SRT-8 version. In reality, at least in my local area, I rarely see any SRT-8 anythings driving. Most are just R/Ts or base models. Same goes with most sport cars in the area.

I'd like some info on the Non-SRT versions of the challanger. See how well a lower output engine will handles its massive scale size.

Umm... Our GT's do 0-60 in 4.9 with a 1/4 time of 13.5. Those numbers look dead on to me. However, like everyone said, this is the SRT8 engine we are talking about here, not the plain jane Challenger. A more correct comparison would be the SRT8 engined Challenger to the GT500. I love the lines on the Challenger, but she reminds me of an ex girlfriend too much... very pretty face and very cool to see on occasion, but she's kinda chubby and fails to perform when it counts.

The Challenger weighs 4140 lb. That's heavier than my 2000 Crown Victoria.
Essentially, think of the Challenger as a GT500 that is heavier and has less horsepower.

You're dead on about that. I've owned several new Chrysler products,the last being an 07 Jeep Wrangler. That Jeep nor any other new Chrysler I've owned never made it past being a month old before something broke and needed repair. I traded in that Jeep for my pony which is now 8 months old and has only seen the dealership for an oil change. I'm impressed with Ford's quality, at least on my pony I am.
