Default RE: Blind Spots/sightlines


ORIGINAL: RoswellGrey
Actually, the blind spot on the 09 is MUCH worse than it was on my 70. I'm wondering if the 09 isn't more like a 1970 SE was in that regard, since the 1970 SE had the much smaller rear window than my conventional model did. I was surprised when I got the 09 just how small the rear window is, although it doesn't look small from outside the car.

I had a 70 RT/SE Challenger back in the day, and it's window was much smaller than today's Challenger...I think the problem (if you want to call it as such) has to do with how the back quarters seem to be higher...I was looking at my car the other day, and it hit he...the car looks as if it has a "Chopped Top"..perhaps it's just me or the color black...but the roof looks a lot lower than the 70...but I still think it has to do with the quarters...they are higher
(Little war story form the past: I was cruising Whittler Blvd in California one night, minding my own business, when all of a sudden there was a LOUD exhaust roar behind me....I looked out the mirrors and nothing, just empty road.....all of a sudden a guy driving a Pantara pulls out from behind me and drives away...never did see him behind me...oh yes the original SE had the same problem as today's Challenger..but I never had any trouble.....just use the mirrors, and be carefull.....)
