Dodge Challenger

[Twin Turbo]

Just thought I'd share some rather tasty pictures

Sex on a stick ...

That is rather lovely, I'm not a great fan of the retro styled yank cars, but I would say that does justice to the gorgeous old Challengers. What's the performance like of this latest one? Do we have reason to believe that it's supercharged?

i really,really,really want one of these...please...in RHD....!

Normally aspirated for now, the initial engine offered will be a 5.7L Hemi, then when the SRT/8 version comes out it will have a 6.1L Hemi.

The 6.1L performance is supposed to be around 4.5 seconds 0-60, 13 second 1/4 mile with a top speed of 174 MPH from 425 HP.

Yep, what he said

No need for a supercharger on that one.

Here's a very tasty original

You need to post a pic o the one used in Tarantino's current chase movie: Death Proof.

The only photos I can find of cars from the film are of the Chevy Nova with the skull on the hood that Kurt Russell drives and a yellow Ford Mustang Mach 1.

That's what I thought

Perfectly purple

[Trooper2]

Lovely car!

For some reason purple has always been popular with the MOPAR crowd.

Let's think about that. Import VEL is £175 a year as no CO2 figure is available. RHD on an import is £300 soon to be £400....and probably more in future. I think I'll take mine LHD and no official imports thanks.

for the £18.75 per month (difference) i'll take RHD - it'll cost you more in fuel to keep moving out to the white line and back everytime to see if its safe to overtake!

Nope, just found via a Google search for purple Challengers

[Twin Turbo]

Another beauty

I like the new challenger (I also like the old challenger mind)

I hope you don't mind Twin_Turbo, had a quick play with one of the pics you posted
(If you want I'll take it down)

[Twin Turbo]

No worries fella, they we're not mine, I was merely cross posting from another site. I like what you've done there

My apologies if seen before but this was my daily driver in the distant past.

Front suspension was torsion bars, so to lower was a ten minute job, although as seen here I slammed it purely for the photo.
Engine was 440 c. i. , brakes were drums all round , transmission was torqueflite with a high stall converter, headers and a " Mike the Pipe " straight through exhaust made any trip a Nascar tibute.

I part exchanged this for a 1972 454 manual Corvette.

Very cool
