Alright, A little History Lesson.

First and foremost, in the late 60's early 70's DRAG racing was the rage. Translated to the street, that was Stop light to stop light or a little midnight airport running. We all know what happened to the T/A mopars. Back track and roundy round were not the MOPAR strength.
BUT>>>> NOTHING GM or FORD made could hold a candle straight line to the HEMI or even a well tuned 440-Six Pak. Even the Vette and the venerable Shelby had trouble seeing anything but tail lights back then. Hence, any 1/4 mile motor is a HEMI now, am I wrong?

So, while this challenger most certainly was not expected to keep up to the vette over the river and through the woods to grandma's house, I was hoping for the Vette killing, camaro crunching, mustang mauling eat my dust 40-110 in 3 seconds shut it down before you get to dead man's curve hey-day that Mopar RULED. Or at least, in my humble opinion, Vette killing look of the Concept W/ that oh so special interior and 1/4 mile designed left hand gauge cluster!

Think about it boys, the concept had that 1/4 mile cluster to REMIND us mopar fans of those heady by-gone days of dominance. Was I NOT to assume that the engineers had that fact in mind when they installed that "gauge" in the Concept? Any Mopar guy would have gotten the hint... HEMI CHALLENGER, won't corner for crap torsion bars, but will beat your ass the shortest distance from point A to B. rebirth...including the "rocketship" interior.

Now, some commented on affordable to the masses. DAMN... how many people could afford a Daytona, Super-Bee, Hemi-Cuda or even a 440 Six-Pak shaker hooded side exhaust Challenger back then? Build the Monster and the ones that cant afford it will by the slant-six model... Come on. I for one, would pay the money for the "concept" challenger. Then sell the dumbed down version with a smaller hemi, charger interior and boxy rear end to the wanna bees. No??
