Went out to dinner last night w/ a friend who just got one of those new Dodge Challengers, supposedly the first one on the road here. I took a few lousy pic of it in the parking ramp, but I can't post them yet because of a file-size problem. (See other thread I just started).
Anywhoo..., it's black, I sat in it, didn't really want to drive it. He says that it's a complete POS, but sort of fast. Porsche just had to buy back his '07 911 for the lemon-law, (knew that PWD would like this part), apparently it had some problem that the dealer could not fix on 3 tries and IMO he just took advantage of the law. The Dodge is no Porsche, though. He misses that lemon already. It's a Chrysler 300 w/ a different body, you can tell the minute you sit in it. It's huge and heavy.
He said it gets more attention than any car he's ever driven, and he's had a lot of muscle and sports cars. How anyone could shell-out hard-earned $$ for one is a head-scratcher. It's a cheap POS that uses gas like a toilet being flushed, in that way it's a faithful replica of the original. The attention and excitement will wear off in about a month and it will be as collectible as a Pontiac Fiero. He got the car for free from Chrysler, or should I say his fiance got it for free for some promotional thing and she didn't want it, so she gave it to him. He just gave back his car and needed a car, so he's driving it. It did light-up the tires pretty well leaving, but in 2008 that is not really impressive performance. Anyhow, I'll load the photos when I figure out how to resize them.
