The Challenger was not a real R/T, it was a Clone R/T.

Yep the car was just a regular Chally.

I'm in agreement with you Limecuda.
Everyone strives, or so it seems, to have a matching #'s, etc etc etc car.

I liked his interpetation of a modern challenger, it's CERTAINLY 1 MILLION % better than what dc would do if they reinvented the chally.

I put power disc brakes, a/c, power windows, a go wing, chrome flip gas cap, and outside chrome rocker panels on my chally.
I did it because I liked the look, as none of it orig came with the car. I did it for me.

But I wouldn't have changed the door handles or the chrome flip gas cap, but that's just me.
As a matter of fact, I bought my car sight unseen on ebay and I knew it had a painted gas cap.
I bought and received the year one gas cap 2 weeks b4 I got the car, as I always thought the flip cap and the door handles were way cool.

My car makes me VERY happy, and that's that.

whoops, my bad.  Didn't pay enough attention to the show, was too P.O.'ed because I thought they were cobbling a real R/T!
I freaking hate everything but Mopars.  Period.
