392 Hemi Owners Are Like Buzz Bombs...Annoying!!!

I have only been on this site for a month but one constant annoyance to me has been the attitude of 392 Owners. They are like these annoying (Jap) Buzz Bombs...simply yack-yack-yack, popping off.

I've been around American Muscle Cars, both old & new, since the '70s and have never heard such "chestbeating" and "knocking" previous models from enthusiasts who claim allegence to the same flag.

Sure there is a difference between a SE, R/T and SRT. That is why it costs more. Likewise, I expect improvements - whether suttle or dramatic - from year to year. Today's auto world demands this.

The attitude between 2008-2010 R/T and SRT owners never expands on bragging. Let's remember that there was almost 40 years since Mopar owners where able to buy and enjoy a 2-door, RWD car with retro styling like the Challenger.

Old School enthusiasts of Max Wedge cars, 413 or 426, don't condemn the previous one even though there are 426 Stage 1 and Stage 2 engines, while snubbing there nose at the 413 varity.

What happens if they supercharge the 392, and leave normally aspired ones alone with no aftermarket solutions. Even better, offer the stroked 6.1 varriant 426 Hemi for the final two years of production.

Now the creaks and mouns, tics and bogs are slowly comming out about the 2011-2012 392 Hemi. I can't tune or supercharge it. Stock it runs great but...but...but...ugh!!!

Let's :bowdown: to the 2008 to ... retro Challenger. We may never pass this way again. Remember, history just repeated itself. Twice in a lifetime was unheard of for this Poker Player. For me, it was the "Impossible Dream" coming true.

So let me get this straight. You rant about 392 owners, but then you go into a thread specifically addressing 392 issues and stir the pot. Kettle, meet pot.

That is just how it is when You are Superior!

Hmmmm, weird. Ahh ok, I think I get it.

In general things get better as model years progress. Who knows and I really don't care for how long the Challenger name plate will go on but it's a given that whatever year you buy into, next year or two models will be upgraded. If anyone buys into the SRT models especially, guess what? You won't have the best stock model for long. If you think you've bought the best ten inches money can buy now, your right. Until next year they come out with the twelve inch model. Those on top of the roost now better enjoy it while they can as they'll have to trade up to stay on "top". Start saving up boys! Bwahhhh-haaaa!

We have a specific name for people like you in my line of work.
PIKER
You are a piker and a hater
That's like someone going to a lambo forum and ****ting on lambos because they can't afford them

392 Hemi Owners Are Like Buzz Bombs...Annoying!!!

They are like these annoying (Jap) Buzz Bombs...

1. "Buzz bombs" were German, not Japanese. V-1 flying bomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-1_flying_bomb)
2. "Jap" is a racial slur.
3. The 392 Challenger rocks and owners have a right to be proud.

Three strikes...you're out.

I had Both so the op can shut up.

You are an idiot. Insulting the 392 owners is one thing, but your use of this racial epithet reveals you to be racist and ignorant.

Not so sure the few surviving WWII vets would say Jap is a racial slur? I suppose if you look at things that way Aussie would be a racial slur, or Turks, or Canucks, or Scots, or Brits, or...

Sorry, and no disrespect to WWII vets, but yeah, in the modern world, "Jap" is a bona-fide, hateful racial slur, used to slag a whole race of people. Nothing like "Aussie," "Brit," or "Canuck," or even "Yank," which I am. And believe me, I am no PC pansy...it's just a bad word, and is unacceptable.

I like the Classic Challenger and the new ones too (I even bought one)

But I didn' and DO NOT like this one.....

I thought it can only be counted a racial slur in America if you reference a black person incorrectly. lol Thats pretty much the only time you hear "racism" now. Is it even okay to say "black" these days? I'm so confused.......Now I have to worry about Brits and Scots too?

You can call me a Brit, just don't call me a Scot...now that is a racial slur (to people from Scotland, anyway :D

As for the original rant, I think the slurring going on there is either alcohol or low-IQ induced. Obviously 392s are far superior to the rest of the crappy Challenger line-up, and 392 owners are rightfully bashing those inferior excuses for vehicles and lauding our own primo examples of transportaion.

Does somebodys "p" word hurt? I dont care if its an SE, 5.7, 6.1 or 6.4L its all good.................I have a 5.7L and 392, so what. I also had a 6.1L in the past.

I think this thread got too much attention for what it's worth other than to stir up emotions and not provide anything constructive to the Challenger community.
