Why is always a Dodge Challenger ?

old guy · 08-09-2016, 09:45 PM

Weather at a light, on the freeway, or at a four way stop, it's always a Challenger that has to rev up or pull up and try to prove something! I always wave and smile and go about my way. I told one dude last week " I've got nothing for you" he smiled and waved! Those cars are fast, no doubt, but do they always have to prove it?
Just saying...

Because they know our little V6 powered rice rockets are a force to be reckoned with. They have to "try" and prove a point that their American car is better than our Japanese car. Little do they know there's a LOT more to it than just 0-60 times. Whatever makes them happy I guess.

I just roll my eyes, shake my head and go about my business.

Here in S. Florida it is any scrappy car that's been lowered with a cheap and angry bumble bee muffler. Usually a Civic. I won't even look over in their direction at a stop light if I hear it approaching.

Unless it's srt8 version, it has nothing on the 370z. Many r/t tried with me and left gravely disappointed

Yup. Raced on in the quarter mile, killed it. Stock for stock the Z wins.

Also raced a stock G8 (won) and a FBO G8 (lost by a full car length)

Maybe bad launch on RT's part or you raced an auto pre 2015 model. RT and Z are drivers race if 6spd or new 8spd auto. These cars are pretty even in the 1/8, but RT slight edge in 1/4 ( a little better top end then z)

Maybe they take the model " challenger " litterly !

old guy · 08-09-2016, 11:45 PM

leases are very reasonable around here. $250 a month gets you in = lots of challengers.

It's late model mustangs that are every other car on the road here.

And the drive and act like they are Bugattis

You should see what it's like when I'm driving my SRT Grand Cherokee. Every freaking Challenger and Charger thinks I want to race them. I'm like, dude, I'm going to the daycare.

I'll race any pony car/WRX/Civic/M series/AMG in my Grand Cherokee... offroad. I'll win the second we get to the first obstacle more than 8" high.
