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.


x2 :iagree: Yup, just far too big. You have to wonder why they built them THAT big. Sure, large is good for what the car is and who it's for but compared to the original, it's a small country with wheels. Nice looking, good grunt (6.1L SRT8) and good heritage, just wished they made it a lot smaller (proportion wise). Big car, with bad MPG in this era and market is not the best of moves, they basically learnt nothing in 40 years lol. Awesome car never the less.

Thanks for the photos, can't and will never beat the originals.  :ylsuper:

 :iagree: Way too heavy. They should have took a cue from the new Stang. It would be even lighter than it already is if the crappo Mod motor didn't weigh 750lbs.  :22yikes:

Great pics.  White Challengers always look great. 

You can definitely see the size difference, but how much of that is due to the huge new wheels and tires.  Put a set of 15 in steelies on one, they'll look much better!!

The over all dimentions of the new Chally are much bigger than the original!!!
