Leaf springs!? What's next, a solid front axle? LOL.
It looks sinister and if my co-worker sees this, he just might "have to" get this one since it would no doubt remind him of the black '70 Challenger SE he used to have.

I will have a new Challenger. Hottest car I've ever laid eyes on, and the 6.1 hemi is a BEAST.

WTF

Am I wrong in looking at the car and seeing that it is laid out as a dedicated drag car?.......

ie - you are going straight very fast on a drag strip

why in the hell would you need IRS?......

Dodge asked the same queston, which is why this drag version has a solid rear axle.

Yeah I know...

Must have read the posts in the wrong frame of mind - seemed like people were bagging it a bit because it did.... rereading now, not so much.....

Ok i see what you are saying...they were bagging it for using leaf springs. which the mustang has lost long ago. the 3 link so superior to the leaf springs. So i kinda misunderstood you too.

Dang, definitely does an awesome job at bring back the old school look! I still think Ford did better with the S197 though... better blend of old and new. Maybe I shouldn't say better, but I like it more.

6.1L Hemi?? ****, how much is that thing gunna cost? Any ideas on the weight?
