Even if I (took them) and must say so myself! This was a photo opportunity that I arranged at a local Mopar meet at New England Dragway

You know.........standing beside our 70s we think they are a good sized car........The new ones are really pumped up.  Good pics to show comparision though.

Nice! They have a white R/T at the dodge dealer down the street. It has a two small stripes running at an angle down from the hood to the lower part of the front quarter behind the wheel, and in the middle of the stripes it says RT. It is a real good looking car. I love white challengers new and old!

Thanks for the pics.  I really like the new Challenger... except when I see it sitting next to an old one.

Guys,

  I know the new Chally is bigger, but don't knock it until you drive it.   :naughty:

They won't let me sit in one unless they can run a credit check first.  :eek7:

Guys,

The car performs well there is no doubt about that. I haven't driven one yet, but have sat in them and have taken SRT8 vehicles around the track before. For me the car is just too big and I think a lot of people feel the same way. I'm glad Chrysler built the car and I look forward to seeing them on the road.

really illustrates how much narrower the new Challenger is. Why couldnt they widen it like the Viper? Up next to an original it looks less like a Challenger at least from the rear anyway.

I love the new Challenger, I get psyched when I see one on the road, but....

I can't help to think that it reminds me of the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man next to the old Challenger.....
