Anytime my disciple...go and spread the gospel now...
Did I ever consider they should have not have made the car so big ? Sure.
But there is one little problem:
they did.
Now your nickname is Challenger_Nut ... I believe your nick says it all, right ?
You must love this car, like I believe everyone else in here does...
So, what do you want:
a 197 in. Challenger or no challenger at all ?
If you are indeed a ... Challenger nut, I believe the answer must be
yes you want a Challenger, am I correct ?
If that's
not the case, well posting here might just be wasting your time then. But if that is indeed the case, you gotta deal with what DCX is going to produce: a 197 in. Challenger.
And in that case, a 197 in. Challenger that will cost more or less like a Mustang will never ever be a 3500 lbs car unless DCX puts it on a ... "diet", by using more expensive, lighter materials.
If they'd do so, people here would be complaining about the cost of a Challenger...seen that it will be reasonably cheaper, then they complain about the weight of course...It does NOT take a lot to understand that you can't have
both (=a super light car at a reasonable price) at the same time ! DCX is not a non profit organization...they need to make a profit in order to exist...if you want an affordable muscle car, you have got to compromise on something ! Is it so hard to understand, come on...
Now there are even people that say that they would never buy a Challenger because it doesn't have a 6th gear, even if chances are that they will never (or at least extremely rarely) reach a speed that needs the use of a 6th gear.
I remember posts of lots of people that were begging DCX to produce the Challenger...everybody more or less knew that it wasn't going to be a featherweight...and still people were here longing for an announcement confirming the decision to build this wonderful car...
Now that it's finally confirmed, people seem to find all
silly excuses not to buy it (boohoooo it's 197 in and it weighs 4000 lbs instead of 3200...booohoh it only has 5 gears, now when I am doing 80 on the highway my engine rpms will be 2800 instead of 1800...).
Is this the type of loyalty that this type of people are showing to DCX now that they gave us what we wanted ?
I am happy that I will have the chance of buying it and I am still loyal to this great car...all the ones that instead change mind like they change underwear are better go buy a GTO or wait for a Camaro, I will not miss them.
Talk about loyalty, uh ?
And now if you wanna be sarcastic about the way I react when people abandon on a millisecond something that they hollered for months to have produced, go ahead, I don't care, but don't come preaching to me, no thanks.
I say
THANK YOU VERY MUCH DCX FOR DECIDING TO PRODUCE THE CHALLENGER, THANK YOU !
and please don't listen to this type of people, they wouldn't be happy even if you decided to give them a Challenger as a present, at zero cost.
