The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Had a chance to compare the new model with my Vanishing Point 1970 Challenger. (my car was used in the audioslave video)

I hope mine will looks the same as yours when its finshed

Did you own the car when the Audioslave video was made?

If so then you might like to know that the company making the video for the group contacted me. I put them onto Randell and he put them onto you. That is how your car got to be used.

No, I bought it shortly after the video was produced. At the time the car was equipped with a stock 440 and auto trans. It now has an Indy Cylinder Heads 600hp engine, Keisler 5 speed(with Pistol grip) manual conversion, Konis, etc,etc,etc. My only requirement was, that no matter how much it was modified, it still had to look like the VP car-so no big wheels,etc.

check out Edmunds.com for the video of my car.

I drove through that very area in 1982 Drew. I want to go back soon.

new vs. old
i parked my challenger beside the new chally at a local cruise the other night and i was not impressed with what the new car offered.
in my opinion it was way to bulky looking,
tires and rims are over sized.
automatic only-Yuk
orange again ! -seen too many orange ones already.black looks the best!
no posi rear end-yuk
cheap interior.

the new one to me looks just ok.
sorry for being so honest guys but its just how i feel.
maybe the 2009 will be better?

I still have not seen one for real but I think I am going to be of the same opinion.

I think the new Camaro will be a better car.
Full independant suspension (it is based on the Austrailian Holden platform) and will be available in full UK spec in right hand drive.

Well, the '09 will have a stick What would be cool would be to street legalize one of the drag package cars
