I don't really have a favorite. I think the body line is too thick/tall/fat looking. I prefer the look of the older e-bodies. My wife on the other hand was absolutely ga-ga for a furious fuschia, and was considering getting one for a while.
Cuda is gone :(

My neighbor has a Black SRT and it looks great.  I think the Black is slimming  ;) ;)

If I were to buy a new one it would be a DWB 392 or Green w/ Envy. But I wouldn't trade mine in for anything. I max'd her out just short of a forged stroke block and will upgrade the Procharger P1SC to an F1D when the time is right ;)

This one is cool, IMO.  Challenger Blacktop edition



AfterFX custom, tastefully done, IMO.  I kinda like the widebody stuff on the newer Challengers.  Gives the back a little more definition.  I saw this car run after the World of Wheels last weekend.  Sounds like nothing I've every heard, almost has like a "whoooshing" sound.

Claimed 1250 horsepower!  http://www.afterfxcustoms.com/galleries/

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

My first car was a light burnt orange 1970 Challenger.

I waited 3 years patiently for my color to come out.

When the SRT8's came out in this color (Toxic Orange), I jumped on one.
