Saw the challenger at the Texas State Fair

[BarrettF77]

Well, I went yesterday and saw the car at the state fair yesterday. It is really something to finally see it. They also had the ford gt500 there, the chevy comaro there as well.

Getting back on topic though, the car has huge wheels. You really cant appreciate them until you see the car up close, and the brakes are good as well. I love the tail light and how muscular the car looks. I also like the exhaust on the vehicle and how it was mounted. The undercarrage looks well laid out too.

On the flip side I really didn't like the headlights because they looked cheap in my opinion. Plus the carbon looked fake and from a long term perspective cleaning the front of that car would be a PITA. I really didn't like the gauges in the car or the dash layout. Its a awesome car to look at, however it did let me know I am going to go ahead and buy a charger srt instead. Keep in mind these are just personal opinions so it is not intended as a flame if you do not agree. I just like the charger's lines better.

The camaro looked good, but the instrumentation was retro and haven't decided how I feel about all the gauges being in the center of the console where you would normally have the cigarette lighter in the dash. Otherwise a sharp car.

That's funny - I was there Wednesday the 11th and there wasn't a Camaro or Challenger. There was a ho-hum GT500 and two Vipers.

Yea I know someone that was there on the 11th as well and no Challenger. Apparently the 11th was when it was due to arrive and not neccesarily be on display. I did find out in another thread though it is going to be there this weekend so I am going to see it for my first time on the 21st.

i posted that it was coming in on the night of the 11th, after the show closed. but when i got back down in dallas, the time to load in was changed, till the morning of the 12th. the morning of the 18th the rampage and imperial will be in for your viewing pleasure. so come back and check those concepts out.
