Sounds like RoswelGrey is longing for the "good old days" of 2008, when Dodge really knew how to build Challengers.......

As a followup to an ealier post....
There were safety studies done on the original Challenger back in the day and they find the hood had a very nastily habit of traveling through the front windshield in a hard frontal impact. Not good for the driver or front passenger for that matter. The hood was big, and flat and nothing stood between it and the front windshield. It seems that the hood would absorb so much energy during the impact that it would break the hood springs and keep traveling rearward. I have an article somewhere written by the Highway Safety Foundation that talks about the Challenger hood issue, and they talk of how some roadside highway signage on the interstates at that time would do the same thing if a driver ran into them...they too would end up coming through the windshield. The interstate signage poles were changed and the Challenger went away, but the hood issue was never really addressed. The new Challenger (and the original Barracuda's) have a header panel in front of the hood which would prevent this from happening. Just one of the little tid-bits that was never really talked about. I will post the article if I can find it.....
I don't remember ever seeing the same issue with other makes
