Foe me though, no matter , I LOVE THIS CAR. It is THE CAR, THE DODGE CHALLENGER! I feel fortunate to own one bad arse vehicle.

 

Good to remember that while as a speed/$ proposition the Challenger may lag behind some of its rivals, it stays well ahead in the highly scientific overall-awesomeness/$ category.
