THE NEW Challenger

MISTA 618 · 07-05-2008, 04:39 AM

I went to six flags today and they had a 2008 dodge challenger on display
in the middle of a caravan and a journey i swear to God that car was beautifal
from the long wide stance to the sleek interior.

I feel sorry for the challenger's interior.
as well as the new vans that are coming out recently..thats one thing that DOESN'T need to go retro.

The only real problem I have with the challenger is the fact that they didnt give it cylnider deactivaction.First off your gonna get hit with the gas guzzler tax,not to mention the extra money your gonna be shelling out for fuel.It just doent make sense.The Corvette has it,and it has more HP than the challenger.This reminds me of a old saying my grandad used to tell me."That thing will pass up everything but a gas station"

lol thats great, hopefully the camaro will be able to pass up at least a couple stations, plus the mustangs and challengers that are having to refuel at them.
I really do kinda feel sorry for the challenger tho, I feel it wasn't done justice.
Much like the latest GTO, they coulda made it more appealing, but oh well.

I'm really undecided about how I feel about that car...it's no Camaro for sure. I saw one the other day on a transporter that drove by my dealership...

I love the new Challenger. I would even consider buying one except for two deal-breakers, 4150lbs and 18 miles to the gallon on the highway.

the R/T with the 5speed will have MDS, not with the manual cause stick and cylnider deactivaction don't mix

SRT's don't have MDS cause their proformence HEMI's, there also not speed limited, google it
