saw her on the highway and gave chase...get ready s197 guys...its gonna be some interestin times comin...especially when that camaro lands too...gotta take a moment and thank the driver of the challenger...really cool dude

 

some more

 

**** that is one nice looking car

 

ok so come on tell us....who won?? lol

 

Even stock, it would have been a driver's race. The SRT-8 only does .2 quicker in the 1/4 mile than the GT, with a pricetag $10k higher and worse fuel economy.

It's a absolutely beautiful looking car, but the interior is completely wrong (read:not at all retro nor matches the exterior) and it's way too heavy. Either way, neat run-in.

 

Thanks for posting, those cars are beautiful. Muscle is back!

 

we had a quick run but not quite an all out race cause it had stopped raining just then.......i could get off the line quicker and in an everyday light to light sprint we will beat that challenger...however...kennedy airport was really close and we took a quick run over there...the challenger will totally leave us behind if the race goes any distance...now i did get to take her up the black for a spin....it feels great and sounds better...totally old school rumble....heres the bad part....one wheel peel....unbelievable and yet i saw it with my own eyes


again thanks to the driver ...especially since it wasnt his car...how many guys would let you get them off a highway and spend so much time with a stranger

 

nice look car. its deff a HUGE car

 

A car guy is a car guy.No strangers in this hobby.Our main interest is cars,performance and a chance to talk cars.Hats off to the Challenger dude!
What sad for Mopar guys is if that car doesn't sell(general units) they'll(Chrysler) cancel it to sell economy cars.

 

They are nice looking cars. Cannot wait to see one at a show!

 

Great photos. The Challenger is a superb looking car, but the Mustang can still hold it's own.

 

the engine bay looks cramped

 

+ 1 above^^^ That was my first thought. But dam that is one nice looking carIt had a really aggressive look to it!

 

Guys have you seen this vid?

I would photoshop out the license plate. You don't want his boss finding out he let you drive it.

 

awww whos gonna tell? and whos gonna take the time to do it? but yeah...that engine bay is stuffed...best thing about our cars is theres so much room....definitely not gonna be doing any header work in your garage on that challenger

 

Automakers tend to troll message boards to get a feeling for what the public is thinking, that's all.

 

The Challenger is a beast for sure. The Bullitt seemed to hold it's own though which was nice to see. I still think they should have given the Bullitt at least 400 HP. If you're going to pay the mark up you might as well get the power increase.

The vid said the Bullitt has "less restirctive exhaust", did they just put the FRPP axle backs on it or is it a completely different exhaust system from front to back than a normal GT?

Thanks for the video.

 

Challenger is sweet!

 

The Bullitt does have 'freer-flowing' axlebacks (with 3.5" exhaust tips) and a modified h-pipe which gives an exhaust sound supposedly "based on a digitally mastered copy of the movie" - if you can find one, some ford dealerships have a handout with all of the 'goodies' the Bullitt has on it (which is where I got this info). I actually saw a Bullitt the other day on the street; a very beautiful car.
