Nice choice, How about times change and safety features add weight. How about car co. about to go belly up and they work with what they got. We have hashed this over and over. Go get you a Camaro if you think thats what you need! Some folks even like the extra weight because it will ride better But if the speed and quickness is it... then why not wait and see what the times are before you complain. There is not one road test out that uses a Challenger and gives stats. We were the heaviest pony car in the 70s and we did just fine. All articles I have read it ranks as one of the all time best 70s car to own. So let the chips fall and get what you want, if its not the Challenger then so be it. Alot of others in line to get one.
