Default RE: So I saw the new Challenger at the AJC car show...

I didn't expect it to be as small as the GT500 -- but the GT500 only wieghs like 200 pounds less. So whatever Ford is doing to make a 3900 pound car look that much smaller is pretty amazing! But like I said, maybe seeing it on the ground and being able to stand next to it will make a difference. It actually looked larger than the Charger they had sitting on the floor too...and I know those are roughly the same size so maybe that is the difference???

I would much prefer it to be stripless too...those faux carbon Fiber stripes looked awful in person!!! I wish they had the RT on display, or at least something we could sit in. I'll have to drive one to know for sure if I like it though I guess

I will re-iterate that the 73/74 they had put it to shame in terms of appearance though
