Something do do with being the smaller one inf the photo....we're the Challenger, the one who upsets. Boxing gloves come to mind and also adventurers like mountaineers, people who challenger themselves and the environment.

One thing you are forgetting, we have one thing the 'Cuda boys will never have an R/T badge.
We get the Challenger name plate and Race inspired badges - Road & Track!



:2cents:

Thanks NZ after reading your comment I had an epiphany (I ain't had one of these since my operation). In order to accomplish this task we must first understand what a Challenger is and I think that you hit it right on the head. When the Challenger was released it was released as somewhat of a challenge to the other pony cars already on the market and the challenge was for Road or Track. Therefore, if you were to challenge someone and had to do this through the representation of one single item what would that item be - A Fugly Fish like the one posted by Challengher ??? If someone sent me that Fish I think that I would be rather insulted.

I love the ying-yang symbol for the website though - I think that it says it all.

A Challenger puts forth a challenge, and in the concept of muscle cars it would be a head to head (combat) such as a race down the 1/4 mile track. But that would be dificult to incorpoeate into a logo of small proportion. But how about the knight in shining armor with his jousting pole ready for the fight, but I'd leave out his steed, don't want to associate with the mushtang croud. Or instead of a jousting pole he could just be holding a massive sword.............?

Or maybe a knight popping out of a Big Daddy Roth type challenger ?  Maybe weilding a big Pistol Grip Shifter ?

I didn't post the picture of the fish to insult anyone. I posted that it was a fish, too because someone said the Barracuda was ugly. I happen to like the Barracuda logo burning out. As far as a logo goes you can almost bet that Dodge will put a R/T badge on the HP model of the new Chally.

So far, I think the boxer/boxing gloves go best with the car.

Very American.
Tough.
Confident.

Maybe the Dodge Bee wearing boxing gloves?

Jackie, Sorry I hope that I didn't offend you by my "fugly fish" comment. Maybe, the Bee with Boxing headgear instead of the helmet that it now wheres and holding the pistol grip shifter as a sword as mentioned by Pistol Gripper. Have him in a stance similiar to the figure posted by Bullit99 and not to slight Jackie he can be riding that awesome looking fish - NOT.

My girlfriend did a mascot for our challenger as a christmas present for me. Steering wheel kinda puts it as a mascot for low option challengers/cudas but the grin seems suitable for bb cars too  :naughty:  :burnout:

Pistol Gripper beat me to the Ed Roth art.  If there were no copyright issues, I'd go with that.

13 years ago I was the president of the Arizona Challenger-Cuda Club (now known as Mopars Unlimited).  Our club logo was the pentastar with the letters ACCC on it.

You didn't offend me. We all happen to like different things and have different opinions. I just stated mine didn't want to insult anyone either.  If that was the cause I'd be posting everytime someone said something about ugly green. :poopoke: :smilielol: :smilielol:
