Why is always a Dodge Challenger ?

old guy · 08-09-2016, 10:45 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.

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

Maybe they take the model " challenger " litterly !

old guy · 08-10-2016, 12:45 AM

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

ChaseZ · 08-10-2016, 01:56 AM

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.

JC-Nismo · 08-10-2016, 04:11 AM

When I'm in my SRT, I can't get no one to bite. I guess they don't want there pretty little sports cars to get mauled by a 4400lb dinosaur.

Spooler · 08-10-2016, 08:38 AM

I don't fall for that crap. I will only do it if I know a cop sits up ahead. Yes, I will get them all excited and lead them into the trap. That is when I laugh. (LMAO)

SouthArk370Z · 08-10-2016, 08:41 AM

You don't have to worry about me trying to goad you into a race. I had an '09 370Z for a few years and have a '14 Challenger now, so I have some idea of what both cars can do. My Challenger is a great DD but lumbersome compared to a Z.

Chuck33079 · 08-10-2016, 08:42 AM

It's a Dodge thing, not just specific to the Challenger. If you're doing 80 on the freeway, it's always a Dodge Ram 3' off your bumper trying to go faster.

I have this experience with Prius drivers.
