I live in a city with a total metro-area population of about 2mill people and I recognize 2-3 of the same challengers on the highway from time to time. LOL..........kid you not!!

IE...in the morning rush........it's hard for me to miss'em when I see'em!! It's almost to the point now that we give each other a 'nod' when we see each other.
LOL

How weird is that??...a sign of a really cool car!!!

 

[Harpslinger]

Same thing happens to me. The 'club' consists of Red, Purple, Black and Orange in that order as I travel to work. Always makes me smile.

About the same here although certainly not the same population. In a town of 16,000 I see 4-5 Challengers on a regular basis. 3 are S/E's, one TorRed R/T and one black SRT. Occasionally a Hemi Orange SRT gets spotted around town but that's pretty much it.

My 09 S/E moved out of town and the local dealer here had a PCP that got sold to Texas, a TorRed SRT that went to Colorado and a couple of black S/E's that both went out of state.

I live in Los Angeles and since they were released, I've seen maybe half a dozen in total.

That's part of the reason why I'm buying one, you can't swing a cat without hitting a dozen mustangs and half a dozen camaros, but challengers are still as rare as rocking horse shit

Upstate NY, Finger Lakes area....so far only seen 3 different ones, black rt, orange rt, and my b5 srt

I'm thinking that's pretty rare

Talk about a great signature line, oooh yea !!!!:cheers:

 

[polara71]

Its the same as an old car thumbs up or the biker arm down. You recognize each other because you have the same car......but thats cool:thumbsup:

Yup, same here. Central N.Y Utica area. Seen an orange, red and silver being driven this winter. There a dark red, B5 and my DWB that only comes out the weathers warm an sunny.

San Antonio (2nd largest city in Texas) has mainly Mustangs, then Camaro's, then rarely a Challenger. Such a shame, I really like seeing Challengers on the road around town, all 3 muscle car's look good to me.

If my Mustang wasn't unique, I would be driving a Challenger for sure just to get out of the ocean of others.

 

[blucheer]

I live about 20-30 minutes south of the Bramptom plant and yeah still dont see many on the road here in the greater toronto area
Mustangs thats a different story,but when I do see a Challenger and Im in the work truck its funny to see the heads turn:thumbsup:

 

[blesseuer]

Small town about an hour north of you Buckeye....and i am the only one in town (as far as i can tell), so that is pretty cool! Will see if any more pop up in the surrounding radius small towns this summer, but definitely a rare runner!

 

[lcbart]

Wierd, must be an locality thing or just a fluke but there are three R/T's in my development of about 40 houses

 

[JonnyRT]

Here in Albany NY I am one of 2 Challys I see on a regular basis...and there is a silver and blue one in the Saratoga region. Whenever I see one I try and get close to it...and I love the highway nod with other owners

NOW, what is really rare?! Me driving it all winter, on great snows, blowing by SUV's and other 'made for weather' cars in the snow...

Not that this was a wise idea, but that car handles snow like a champ with the right tires...

I would be interested in knowing the yearly production number for Challengers, Mustangs and Camaros. I think the Challengers attract the most attention in part because they are not as common. We've come back to our new R/T in parking lots several times to find people walking around looking at it and we've only had it for a few weeks! Also, Challengers (along with Mustangs to a lesser extent and Camaros not very well at all) do the best job of retaining the original muscle car look. The only thing I think could have been done better would be to scale down the dimensions a bit to make it a slightly smaller car with exactly the same look.

 

[theoneanarbr]

Around the Fort Knox/Louisville area my guess would be out of every 10 "big 3" muscle cars its about 5 stangs to 4 camaros to 1 challenger. Maybe 6-3-1 but camaros just keep springing up all around the area. Got 2 new camaros in the past 4 weeks within 4 blocks of our housing. Ive met a lot of cool people in the past year since we got our car but frankly a lot of the challenger owners around these parts seem to be not very social. Never returning the wave or the fog light flash.

I was keeping up with the monthly production numbers for a while but got bored with it. I might get caught up later but here is the last set of numbers I had starting with the public sale of the Camaro back in April, 09.

MS = Market share as a percentage of the total production for that month.

I wrote this back in April after Camaro took the market share away from Ford, which is a pretty phenomenal feat in itself. Since then I've noticed more and more Camaro's. Not quite to the reach of commonality of the Mustang but getting there.

I live less than a mile from Washington, DC and rarely see a Chally. Bet I haven't seen more than half a dozen in the last year. No wonder I get so many thumbs up!

But in more reflective moments I wonder, is it because these cars are pieces of sh*t?

NOT!

 

[Atlantis Tom]

Here in Central Florida, I can go a whole week witout seeing one. Then the following week, I'll see five. I'll see a Camaro about every five miles and a Mustang about every ten.
In the year I've owned my 2010 Titanium R/T, I've only seen three others of the same color. I read somewhere on this forum that it's the least chosen color, which makes me like it even more. All in all, I love the large size and the fact that it's a true five seater. Not to mention that classic bad ass muscle car look!:thumbsup:

 

[twomten]

Thanks for posting the production numbers, R/T 6speed. I'll admit to being surprised at how many Camaros were produced during that span. I would have guessed that the Mustang production would have been in first place. I suppose the fact that the "retro" Camaro is newer than the Mustang would account for the numbers. The lower production numbers for the Challenger is about what I expected.
