The Challenger wasn't a great car when it was on the market decades ago, and "nostalgia isn't what it used to be" as the joke goes.

This car is an over-sized, big on the outside and small on the inside toy that won't be around very long.

Think Thunderbird here.]]>Nov 2nd 2006 1:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/
Down with the Camaro and the Mustang.

holy god am I tired of that saying already. One persn says something stupid and all of a sudden 100 other paeople think it's coold to say the same stupid thing.


The challenger is nice btw. The 15s look weird on such a big car but they're there for a reason. The chin spoiler would look nice in a T/A version of the challenger.]]>Nov 2nd 2006 1:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/Mascara looks more natural on a pig than lipstick, too.]]>Nov 2nd 2006 2:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/
The people bagging on the nostalgia movement I'm assuming are the primmadonna pansies that wouldn't know a '70 Charger from a '77 Pinto. Get back in your Volvo and run along.

I love it - and think the whole movement is great. ]]>Nov 2nd 2006 2:11PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/Nov 2nd 2006 3:08PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/
And then watch it stop, due to the seperate subframes not being able to take the stress of the landing impact.

SEMA = "hey, here's more cool spinoffs of our initial concepts. Hopefully you'll keep these in mind when we sell you the watered down version for way too much money. Oh, before you get too misty-eyed, we sorta forgot about how many dozens of states would never allow a newer modded car like this Challenger to pass inspection, but hey... who cares?"]]>Nov 2nd 2006 3:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/Nov 2nd 2006 4:34PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/
If you don't know squat about racing or muscle cars then just scroll on down to the Honda or Camry blogs. You may have a small amount of knowledge of them you can show off.]]>Nov 2nd 2006 4:59PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/

Well, P to the C, I was around for all of that and had a nice '68 383 V8 Dodge Charger, too. But trust me, cars are much better today.

Acceleration times for 4 and 6 cylinder cars are generally faster now than for all but the largest gas hogging and often troublsome V8s of the '60s that couldn't cope with emission control plumbing required then.

And those old pieces of Detroit iron didn't handle well and had lousy brakes compared with almost any car you can buy today. And safety? Well, new cars are and old ones aren't.

The good old days are good because they're intertwined with your youth. As for automotive technology, the good old days were lousy compared with today's technology and today's cars.]]>Nov 2nd 2006 5:02PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/
I have heard from many critics who have decried the performance deficiencies of automatic transmissions. Or are they mere crybabies without a clue?]]>Nov 2nd 2006 5:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/Nov 2nd 2006 8:32PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/Nov 2nd 2006 10:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/Nov 3rd 2006 3:48AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/02/dodge-challenger-super-stock-wows-em-at-sema/
