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

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.

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?

by **dave-r** » 31 Jul 2008 10:46

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 :thumbsup:

What would be cool would be to street legalize one of the drag package cars :s003:
