Dodge Challengers are on the ground and runnin'

Just saw a Dodge Challenger in real life in Oklahoma City. No I didn't have a camera or even a camera phone handy, but it was dang sure a Challenger. All Black and looked pretty good. I was working an off-duty security job in Oklahoma City's entertainment district called "bricktown." There are always a lot of great cars cruisin around down there.

Although it looked pretty good and I love the new muscle care era, the Challenger looked real blocky and almost too thick, if thatmakes sense, Kinda fat in the a$$ end. I'd still choose a Mustang over the Dodge.

Nah the Challenger is sweet. I just saw a Hemi Orange one up close this weekend. Nothing but Pure Win!......ok the steering wheel does suck but that's about it. Nice to see Dodge and soon Chevy back in the mix!

I drove an orange one last night, and I have to say I wasn't that impressed. Once you get past the wow-its-new factor its kind of lame. The interior is like every other car from that platform, which of course means it's rubbish, and it didnt seem all fast since it was so massive. I will admit that you will get more looks in a challenger than a mustang for a while, but once some time passes the proper order should be restored

I finally saw one in person! Well actually two, but who's counting lol. Saw them at the Indy race at Mid-Ohio last sunday. Gorgeous car in person, very big and bulky, but great lines. Both that I saw were orange. The Challenger is definitely a competitor with the Mustang in the looks department, unlike the truly hideous Camaro...

We have a black one and orange one at our Dodge lot (I work for an auto group)... They are pretty nice... I like my Mustang better, but they are still pretty nice...
