General DiscussionThis section contains general discussion about the new Dodge Challenger concept. If it does not fit into a more specific area, it probably belongs in here. (Dodge Challenger General Discussion)
was hoping you could elaborate on "bigger and quieter". how much bigger and how much quieter? What were you expecting and how did it differ?
thanks
Sound....turn the key and there is no growl / rumble....will need cat back at least. My reference for enough noise at start-up....Viper and C5.
Size...I guess I was expecting 9/10ths. This was just my initial impression. Car does not look "throwable". I'm also driving SRT-10 and AMG. I knew the dimensions of the Challenger. It just looks bigger.

How did things work out for you and your son?
...I'm getting one and he's not (the orange one hasn't moved from BX)....I'll share the black one...he has decided he might rather wait for an 09 anyway, more interested in the 6-spd
ps...he has a black 70 Challenger conv he drives every day....I have a lime 70 Challenger RT conv and a pair of T/A Challengers that sit alot
That will work huh...

Brother I went with black just for that reason the metal flake is stunning on that color.
It looks purple at times and at certain angles it changes colors you are right amazing!.
