I know the infection well. When I got to cruise nights or open shows I walk past everything but Mopar. If I want to see fords or chevys I can go to the mall anytime of the day or night!!

I must be a minority here as I love all automobiles wether its a mopar or not?I know at Musclepalooza there was a COPO Camaro with a ZL1 drivetrain that I really liked and I am not a huge fan of 69 camaro's.
Plus I think many of you forget that without Ford and GM you wouldn't have those Musclecars you love so much as it was a musclecar war between them that actually inspired those cars to become a reality. :2cents:

Good points. I really like the 70-71 Torino Cobra GT , 69 Fastback Mustang, Cobra kit car, 66&69 Chevelle's 66&69 GTo's too but  after owning the Challenger it's like..... what else is there? What could top that? Sort of a thing.
Mind you this summer at Carlisle I really fell in love with a 57 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer 2 door! :drool:  .... but I wouldn't sell the Challenger to get one.

sure some of them look cool but the Mustangs & fords in generally had horrible front suspensions & no traction , wheel hop was the norm , the camaro is really a much smaller car especially in width

It's always seemed perfectly normal to me! My ride home when born was a 49 Dodge that the old man traded for a 55 Dodge and then a 58 Dodge  Custom Royal and then a 59 Saratoga. My first car was a 58 Dodge Crusader, then a 64 Dodge 440, then a 67 Valiant Pwr Pk, then a 72 Duster 340 and then a 73 Dodge Sport 340 and my grandfather owned a Chrysler dealership as well. No wonder the Chevy guys and I didn't get along so well. Mopar to ya!  :thumbsup:

What I dislike the most about Gm was the cheap interior parts the window cranks rounding off the knob and switches were just cheaply built. Things always breakin. My grandpa told me ford always overrated there engines performance calculated the mean off the high end of the charts where as mopar always underrated therefore mopar put out a better product.
