For almost two years, I, as well as many folks in the Challengertalk/forum have followed the rebirth of the Challenger.
For just as long, I have seen and read some embarassing, aggrivating, and truly tasteless things going on in a number of related sites and forums - this one included.

I've seen pictures stolen from one site, watermarked with another site's addy and posted within those sites as if exclusive rights were given or garnered.
I've seen posts put up, taken down, and edited because of misleading information, and links to other sites - considered "taboo" (because they give credit where credit is truly due).
I've read whining and complaining from people who have nothing better to do, or are never satisfied.
I've read posts reflective of a total lack of gratitude to those who've repeatedly given credible information well in advance - sometimes going way out on a limb to do so - only to be met with criticism and complaints.
I've even endured (with many of you) the occasional militant/rogue moron who has nothing better to do with their time than to post some truly tasteless and usually pointless nonsense meant only to p*$$ off a few people - just for their own twisted satisfaction.

While it hasn't been anything close to everyone in here, a good number of you folks have b*+^hed and complained about everything under the sun, completely forgetting that you've gotten almost everything you've asked for - from Dodge, AND your fellow forum members. And still, many of you aren't happy, grateful, or even respectful. That's pretty pathetic.
While I agree, we have to express our wishes to Dodge, that isn't accomplished by attacking fellow forum members, whining, plagiarizing, inciting arguments, and exhibiting just plain immature behavior in here - or any other forum.

Anyone can be a "tough guy" behind the screen of a monitor - hundreds of miles away from the person you're attacking, plagiarizing, harassing or trying to intimidate- in anonymity. That's easy. Maintaining a level of respect and dignity is far more difficult - which many of you have proven is beyond you.

I don't envy the moderators in here - they have their work cut out for them.
And while I haven't mentioned anyone by name/ID, I'm sure those who feel they're being attacked in this thread WILL issue a defensive reply. Those are the folks to whom this is directed.

The Dodge Challenger is BACK! It's a far cry better than it ever was! Still, some of you aren't happy. "It weighs too much", "The colors are wrong", "The interior sucks", "There's no ashtray in the glove compartment",.......God only knows what complaints will come next. I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm not.
Take it or leave it, the production Challenger IS WHAT IT IS. You can buy it and share ideas on modifying it in here, or you can buy something else.
But for some of you, no matter where you go, no matter what you get, you'll NEVER be happy unless you're complaining about it to an audience.

I'll be ordering my Dodge Challenger R/T with a 6 speed TREMEC 380HP 5.7L VVT HEMI in a few months - maybe May or June, when the order banks open for the next model year.
When I take delivery, I'll be looking for ideas, suggestions and sources for changing those "minor design discrepancies" from what we bought to what we had in our minds-eye as the "perfect muscle car". With all of the complaints and lack of solutions offered, I doubt I'll find any in here.

It's been "interesting", folks. Good luck getting satisfaction - tough to find when all you look for is "fault and blame".
