New Black Challenger in Houston
the new Challenger looks incredible in black in person. we took delivery of ours earlier today. if you are into retro / modern muscle cars, this car really has the right look with all the modern performance and conveniences.
also, as expected, it laid down some solid dyno numbers at 365 rw hp on a motor with just 15 miles.
i will post a few more pics and a dyno video soon.
this car will be at the classy chassis car show in houston this sunday.

Saweet. All it needs is a nice set of rims.
......And maybe a Supercharger.

they are rated at 425 flywheel hp and consistently make over 360 rw hp stock thru the auto. pretty impressive.

Very impressive numbers and hopefully the price of gas will not terminate the second coming of the musclecar wars between the Big3.Has anyone seen any stock quarter times for the car yet
Jay Who?

Wow that is impressive. My 71 RoadRunner 440+6 ran a 13.2 factory stock and that was a big block gas guzzling car that weighed in excess of 3900lbs. Similar weights on these 2 beasts.

The only thing I don't like about these cars is the way they sound.
