Actual width of Challenger?
I wish to know what is the actual width including mirrors for the Dodge Challenger? If anyone could please take measurement it would be greatly appreciated. I know the specifications at the Dodge website and affiliates say it is 75.7 Width, but that is not accurate. I measured my current vehicle today and it is not actual 72.2 Width like the websites say, in fact it is 80 Width overall with mirrors. So if anyone could take measurements it would be greatly appreciated, I have a space cleaned up for the new vehicle.

I have about 2 or 3" clearance at each mirror between the garage door springs when pulling through the door into my garage. The Car clears workbench at the front by about 4" leaving about 12" clearance behind The Car at the garage door. It is not a small car.

this is good info. I need to build a carport with sides to protect my challenger when it gets here. I plan on making enough room for my dumb ass to make some mistakes

BE SURE to make it wide enough to get the doors open and get out of the car once you are parked.
I can only open 1 door for anyone to get out or in when The Car is in the garage. This makes it so I am the only one that can ride in The Car... damn is it lonely...

RE: Actual width of Challenger?
Thank you guys. My current vehicle is 80" mirror to mirror; and my current mirrors on my car dont fold-in. 6" shouldn't matter. But I may have to bend-in the driver mirror to get here in; or get the cabinets out [:@] I guess we will see when the vehicle gets here to really see how she fits. LOL. Damn the things I get myself into.
