ALERT: ChallengerTalk Needs the Help of EVERY Member...
Sep 11, 2009 - 5:03 PM - by HEMEEE
... to keep peace and harmony in the family!


I'm just going to get right to the point:

The post whoring for post counts has gotten out of control, has spawned other related problems, and is generating many complaints from the members who lean more toward the Challenger-related end of things, which is after all, the purpose for which this forum was originally founded. At the same time, we know some of you have built great fun friendships and enjoy the opportunity to just talk about "stuff" with some redeeming value, post counts not included. We don't want to interfere with that either, so we came up with a solution that we hope will work for everyone, but we need everyone to cooperate for this compromise to work.

Ultimately, when someone searches for a Challenger resource or forum, we want to be proud of what we have to offer and continue to attract new users to join and contribute to our vast list of valuable Challenger-related topics here. That is less likely to happen if the majority of active threads found are silly post count competitions and 'how was your day' type banter, or worse, insults, infighting, hijacked discussions, and the like.

So here's the plan:

-I will build a new Chat sub-forum in the Off Topic section-

REMINDER: The forum rules have ALWAYS stated, the Off Topic section does NOT mean “anything goes!
-- ALL FORUM RULES APPLY -- Please familiarize yourself with those rules immediately if you have not already done so, they can be found at the top of any forum section!
  • The new 'Chat Lounge' sub-forum will be dedicated to small talk, fun, and social chit chat. Post counts will NOT accrue in the Off Topic sections any longer so as to discourage pointless posts/threads about nothing but post counts. Please Note: when the post counts for OT are turned off, the post count for members who have posted there will decrease as a result. Currently active 'for fun' threads will be moved to the new Chat Lounge as staff is able to dedicate the time, and some will be closed if they don't fit the new criteria. If you see threads that we missed moving, please send me links via PM
  • We ask that new non-topic threads in the social sub-forum be kept to a minimum; rather than start new threads, please consider participating in those that are already active. The goal is to keep a few good fun discussions running vs. a multitude of nonsense pointless threads. This will help staff with maintenance and will also allow the social butterflies and the gearheads to co-exist amicably so all will be right with our world again!
  • The new section will be a work in progress. In the meantime, staff will determine what is acceptable or unacceptable based on forum rules and these guidelines. If the post-whoring continues unchecked, we may remove ALL post counts. Please don't let it get to that point
  • Effective Immediately: The main Off Topic section will be off limits to all social threads and will be for legitimate Off Topic, non-Challenger subject matter only. Social threads posted there will be moved, the OP will be warned once, and repeat offenders will be suspended or banned.
    • Off Topic: is for legitimate subjects not Challenger-related
    • The Garage: is for non-Challenger car discussions
    • Chat Lounge: is for chit chat and 'just for fun' type threads
ALL members are expected to start new threads in the correct forum categories throughout the forum; this does not apply only in Off Topic!
  • Effective Immediately: Ongoing thread hijacks with off topic banter MUST stop! We understand that there are occasions where it is natural to add an off topic comment along with your on-topic reply, however it is NEVER acceptable to completely derail a conversation; infractions or suspension will result. Members are asked to help us curtail this problem by reporting problem posts
  • Effective Immediately: The insults, name-calling, and other personal attacks are out of control and MUST stop! An intelligent discussion of opposing views ALWAYS respects the rights of the person whose views you may disagree with. Those who can’t follow this “Golden Rule” philosophy are not welcome to continue assaulting our readers with their venom. Please report problem posts
  • Effective Immediately: The topic of politics is no longer permitted on ChallengerTalk, including in Off Topic. There are plenty of forums out there for politics and we ask our members to take those discussions elsewhere as it has led to far too many complaints here. The same goes for discussions of a sexual nature, which are also inappropriate for a Challenger discussion forum… take it private or to a forum designed for that type of discussion. Existing threads/posts of either type will be removed as they are discovered; new threads/posts will earn a warning for the OP, followed by suspension or ban for repeat offenders. Please send me links via PM for anything we may have missed removing and use the “report post” feature for any new ones created after today
  • Effective immediately: the vBexperience post statistics and awards feature will be disabled. Besides the fact that it generated post count competition that led to some of the problems we have had lately, it also was generally not well understood and raised many questions and concerns as a result
You are welcome to share your thoughts in this thread but, for the sake of discussion, please know that adding a chat room is NOT an option. We have had them on other sites with nothing but problems. For anyone wanting to have real time discussion, Instant Messaging offers a suitable alternative and there is a place to list your IM addresses in your profile for that purpose.

We are counting on each of you to do your part to assist us in making these improvements work...
Thanks, in advance for your assistance and cooperation with this project so that EVERYONE can get what they want and need from their forum experience with us!

SEMA 2009: SMS Supercars Announces Superparts Division to Sell Parts Individually
Nov 06, 2009 - 9:25 AM - by Administrator

Over the past year or so Steve Saleen's new project, SMS Supercars has released high performance versions of the Camaro, Mustang and Challenger. This week at the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) Show, SMS announces the introduction of SMS Superparts, a division of the company that will sell the parts individually through a distribution network.

"We are excited to launch our newest addition to the SMS Supercars family right here at SEMA, where it all happens," said Steve Saleen. "To have a strictly SMS Superparts display was a conscious choice on my part. I wanted to underline the importance of the aftermarket business, the passion of the enthusiasts and the true Steve Saleen fans."

Saleen also included a second announcement, the introduction of the SMS 296 supercharger for the 2005-10 Mustang. This new blower is expected to produce output of 475-hp, with higher output packages reaching all the way to 650-hp.

For photos of the new SMS 296 Supercharger installed on a 2010 Mustang, as well as a Sour Grape Green 2010 SMS 570X Challenger, check out the gallery.

Nov 04, 2009 - 3:20 PM - by Administrator

Held each year in Las Vegas, Nevada, the SEMA Show is an industry event for the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association.

Tuners and parts suppliers from across the industry and even from the realm of motorsports come to show off their wares, usually displayed on some sort of eye-catching highly-modified vehicle - be it a muscle car, hot rod or sport compact car.

And let's not forget the increasing presence of mainstream manufacturers like Hyundai, Scion, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Chrysler and Dodge. Major areas of interest at SEMA include Racing and Performance, Wheels and Tires, as well as Trucks, SUVs and Off-Road vehicles.

SEMA 2009: Dodge Challenger 1320 Unveiled With 556-hp and a Light Weight Chassis
Nov 04, 2009 - 8:33 AM - by Administrator

Mopar always has a big display at the SEMA Show and 2009 is no different, with plenty of Mopar-modded Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles. One of, if not the, most impressive car on hand is the Dodge Challenger 1320. Named after the number of feet in a quarter mile, the 1320 is essentially a street-legal version of the company's Drag Pak 1/4 mile racer.

Along with the stripped down body and interior, there's a Mopar 426 cubic-inch, all-aluminum, HEMI V-8 crate engine under the hood with 556 horsepower and 540 ft-lbs of torque.

Other highlights include Mopar police wheels with street-legal Mickey Thompson drag radials, an adjustable coilover kit, six-speed manual transmission with a custom Dynatrac rear housing with Mopar Dana 60 internals, an ARB locking differential and an exhaust bypass system that keeps the car emissions legal on the street but re-routes the exhaust gases past the mufflers for the drag strip.

The car is painted in a non-metallic yellow paint (called Acidic Hue) with matte black graphics. There's also a new hood, front splitter and new grille panel and headlight surround. As for the inside, there's all sorts of good stuff, including Dodge Viper seats, a sport steering wheel and Hurst shifter. Much of the other interior amenities, like the center console and radio have been removed to reduce weight and help the Dodge Challenger 1320 deliver maximum performance.

SEMA 2009: Mr. Norm’s Garage Rolls into SEMA With Rainbow of Challenger Convertibles
Nov 03, 2009 - 8:29 AM - by Administrator

With the SEMA Show officially starting tomorrow, we were in town early and thought we drop by to see what we might stumble upon. It was hard to miss the tasty Skittles rainbow of convertible Challengers parked out front. Dodge tuner Mr. Norm's Garage was displaying five of the drop-top Challengers in different colors and with plenty of different custom work.

Mr. Norm's has already released several Challenger performance packages including a Super Cuda, Super Challenger and the Legend's Edition cars that come with rebuilt HEMI engines with forged internals and a Kenne Bell twin screw supercharger that pumps out 900-hp!
