Default I saw a Hurst Challenger...
... and besides the stripes and the Hurst logo on the side, the sheer size of a Challenger is what I noticed the most:

Yea 4100 pounds is a joke. That's the main reason I wouldn't buy it.

Maybe they really are going truly retro, like when cars weighed a ton... or a few. Those are some big *** cars.

they're huge likely because they share platforms with bigger cars.

A side profile pick of the Challenger completely blocking the view of your car would have been great.

the Challenger and new Camaro are just about the same size.
Weight wise, I believe the Challenger is 100-200# heavier.

The Hurst Challenger is in a couple car mags.
with just bolting on the s/c--525hp and goes up from there.

^ hlaalu is right... We were driving around a parking structure for a photoshoot of his/my car and I saw this beautiful lowered Hurst Challenger, so I parked next to it, got out and tried to take a picture. Then I realized my car was too far away from it to show the size so I got back in the car and moved it closer...
