Default RE: Challenger T/A history

where did you get that review? or did you write it?

the challenger TA was limited to around 2,400 units, and the 340+6 made an advertised 290hp, but it was proven to actually make around 350. Yes, the high end big block made more power, but they also weighed more which affected handling. a hemi or 440+6 challenger RT will likely beat a stock TA, but in the turns the TA would aceel against the RT. a 3.55 was stock, but you could get a 3.91.

the TA was great for high speed cornering and road racing, but the suspension setup made for a bad daily driver, evidently. it was one of the first cars (if not the first car) top feature bigger tires under the back end...it also came stock withj a fiberglass hood, side exit exhaust...

the only thing that im not sure about (and i cant verify this, im just curious) is that panther pink was one of the most popular colors?
