I saw the Challenger in person for the first time at the Texas State Fair, amazing!

 

run on lower boost so you dont make him look too bad

 

I agree, these things along with the Camaro will be ADM'd to hell and gone, anyone who thinks otherwise has been in a cave for the last 5 years. Gonna need 70K to buy a Challenger folks. Maybe more.

 

Yep. I wouldn't count on meeting too many at the lights, at that rate. Like GT500s, most of 'em will be garage queens.

 

No spare? I had a Lincoln with 7K miles and a tire went flat in the middle of Hinesville, Ga after 10:00 PM on a Saturday night. No problem...nice spare...no jack.
Ford's Roadside Assistance did come and we were able to put the spare on. Local guys wanted $50.00. No jack - no way to fix the car. No spare = same result. You're an idiot if you drive without a spare - sooner or later.

 

I believe they have a foam patch kit as a stand-in. Not perfect, but enough to get you home usually.

 

My guess would be runflat tires, or maybe they are doing the GT500 thing, tires inflater with fix-a-flat.

 

Alot of high performance cars are going with fill kits. Runflats are heavy and offer no where near the performance of a normal radial.

 

Doesn't the 'Vette use run flats?

 

yep, but the ZR1 is going to have a inflation kit instead of runflats.

 

im betting CDC will make a kit to turn it into a cuda'...*drools*....oo man i cant wait to see the aftermarket boom, because when the call rings out for mustang competition, you see new goodies and packages...it will be the muscelcar wars all over, only we have pony cars

 

Much as I love the way the Challenger looks, I wouldn't touch any Mopar product with a ten foot pole. Not when I read the sort of paragraphs you can find in this story, which references the strike and tentative settlement the company reached with the UAW today >>

In particular, Chrysler was reluctant to make a commitment to the number of new products would be built in American plants, and to guarantee how many jobs would remain at the company, which is in the midst of a restructuring program.

Chrysler officials were said to be seeking flexibility to import vehicles from outside the United States, so they can take advantage of cheaper labor costs. Chrysler is set to begin selling Chinese built small cars at the end of the decade, making it the first American company to use China as an export source for the United States.

Don't we have enough problems with defective Chinese products flooding our shores, without a major American automaker importing awful Chinese cars over here, too? And for those who think that Chinese quality will improve as time goes on, just as it did with Japanese quality, I'm constrained to point out that Japanese quality was always quite good...it's just that they never exported their best manufactured goods to the West until the '50s. I'm not convinced the Chinese quality will ever fully meet our standards, because the whole point of importing that stuff to begin with is because it is so cheap for manufacturers in our brave new "global economy."

Can't wait for the Chery edition of the Challenger in another eight years.

GO CHERYPAR, GO!

 

^^^ is there an unleaded paint option?

 

If they offer a Cuda conversion I would have to buy another car....

 

Another crap DCX vehicle to mod...

Good looks but horrible mod wise. No one has been able to crack the tuning and limiting tractiong control on current vehicles, so good luck. Muscle car era car looks, yeah sure... Muscle car era modification wise, sincerely doubt it. I'll take the next gen stang, maro, or bird any day.
