Been driving 4 cyl P-Us for 23 years...
Saving for a new car. I want a car this time. And I want something with a little power. Want to relive my youth. Want a Challenger R/T with a manual transmission.
Had this one when I was a youngster...

Avis carries R/T challengers as rental cars- I was on a hot streak where I got 4 in a row as my rental car.
Totally impractical in nearly every sense but put me in the ?I frickin? love it!? Crowd.
I cant imagine what a Hellcat would be like.
Im saving my pennies for the new Jeep a gladiator pickup. If they made a convertible challenger it would be an absolute no-brainer choice for me.0 -
Not totally impractical for me. No kids or grandkids, just need personal transportation. Have a small utility trailer so I'll put a hitch on the car and I can move furniture, MC, whatever. 0 -
The new Challenger is a lot more like an old Charger than an old Challenger beyond the styling. It's a slightly shortened new Charger with 2 doors. It's a large car. The Camaro is probably the most like the old Challenger out of the current retro style hot rods because it's the smallest. 0 -
Chargers don't have four doors. It's a Dodge Cornet. Good car, just the same. 0 -
New Chargers have four doors.
I'm saying the new Challenger is a midsize coupe like the Chargers of old.0 -
That would be cool. I thought your wife has a newer muscle car. 0 -
Old Chargers (68-70) were big and heavy. Old Challengers were much bigger than the current version (about same weight). I don't think current Charger and Challenger have anything in common. Challenger is a true rear wheel drive and Charger uses a trans-axle in rear but model was designed with front drive in mind.
Camaro is too small for me. Can't get in and out and cramped beyond belief inside. No visibility. Challenger roomy by comparison.
Wife has V-6 Mustang. Nice car. The GT has way too much power for sanity but like 50 Grand. Mustang is so low hard for me to get in and out. Fine once in.0 -
The previous LH platform was the one which was designed to be expandable into rwd.
The LX platform introduced in 2004 as a result of Chrysler's cooperation with Mercedes is what both Challenger and Charger were based on.
The new Challenger has a longer wheelbase than the old Challenger. The six cylinder weighs 3800lb, the v8 rwd weighs 4200. I think that's what the old full size Chryslers weighed.0 -
They're fun to drive for sure. Hope you're able to find a good deal on a nice one. What engine do you want? 0
