ok guys, i just had to say something about this article and some of your comments. I know it's long.... just bear with me.
Come on Fellas!!!! U guys cant be seriosly considering this new motion of putting a 4 banger into the challenger..... Ok, taking into consideration that gas prices are going up and we need fuel efficient cars, but this is LUDARCRIS. If u are having so much of a hard time keeping up with inflating gas prices, then GO BUY A PRIUS OR A CIVIC HYBRID. Let's not desicrate a mastepiece that is just reborn. Do you guys realize why the muscle car era came about..... It was 4 people like me and you had a passion for BIG BLOCK V-8's, with plenty of power to make your grandma pee in her panties when u took her to the gorcery store.... I mean there's is a reason why it's called a muscle car and not a rice burner. Dont get me wrong, I have a honda prelude that a love to drive, but on the same notion if i got a chance to trade my honda in for challenger, I would have given the pinks up a long time ago. The gas prices is why im going to keep my honda, but i cant wait till i get my challenger!!!!!! When was the last time you walked out to your garage and looked at your honda and said "MAN THAT"S A SEXY CAR"?...... No real auto enthusiate will. Now Let's imagine if you had a 71 Challenger in it's place. Every time you would have walked by it, your eyes would wander over the muscular body lines. To hear the roar of the V-8 firing up would give you a boner!!!!!!!!!!! Hell if i could have sex with it........, well you know what i mean. And if you guys are not fired up by now, let me walk you through a regular day event that most guys go through on a regular day basis. Let's say if you pulled up to a stoplight. And beside you sat a 69 MUSTANG BOSS 429..... Just bubbling, rocking side to side, and you can smell the fuel in the air!!!!! Now i dont care what your Gender, Age, or Ethnicity you are. Whether u say this out loud or in your head, it's gonna go something like this "MAN I WISH I WAS THE DRIVER BEHIND THAT BEAUTIFUL BEAST". Now if that didn't give you a tent in your pants, Then you need to go rent a copy of "BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN", cause I can't help u out. I mean seriosely fellas, i wake up everyday wishing i was alive back in muscle car era. Walk down the street with CUDAS, MUSTANGS, CHEVELLS, JUDGES, NOVAS, CAMAROS, CORVETTES, ......etc, parked on either side of the streets. WOW just thinking about it makes me......Gime a second to regain my thoughts. Whew!!! maybe some of you guys don't see it in the perspective that i see it in, and then again maybe you do. All im trying to say guys is that muscle cars had character. If you owned one people knew you by your car. It was a piece of YOU. Of your character. And nobody would be able to argue otherwise. I mean cars these days are lacking that character. That UNIQUE personality that makes a car special. The just don't build them like they used to. Ever heard of the saying "OLD IS GOLD." And from a financial perspective, some classic orignals are worth 4x to 5x times what they were worth when brand new. When was the last time you saw your honda prices inflate that much. It won' t be in my lifetime. Maybe i'm just rambling but i hope a few or most of your have a diiferent perspective on muscle cars and hopefully all you guys go out there and buy a brand new DODGE CHALLENGER WITH 6.1 LITRE HEMI W/ 425HP and when we pass each other one the street, just nod with a smile on your face
REMEMBER THERE IS NO REPLACEMEMT FOR DISPLACEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
