Looks nice, HP is HP.

I like the radiator, looks cool; too bad you have to cover it.

Have you guys heard the rumors that the new Z/28 is confirmed? It's going to have the Z06 motor with the same supercharger? Seems too good to be true.

I like the car more than the Camaro.The lack tuning capability and parts keeps me away.

Joe,thats not a radiator- it's an intercooler for the blower.

I prefer the new Challenger to the new Camaro...the Challenger held truer to the form of the old 70' model...Camaro, not so much.

Stacey David installed a procharger on a Challenger on a recent episode as well. Pretty cool setup.

Dieso, The Z/28 is confirmed although it will have the supercharged Caddy CTS engine with 556hp.

How much easier/harder are they to work on than other cars Don?

Guy down the street has one exactly the same color. I kinda like em'. The sketches for the new Charger looks promising too.

I'd still pick a new camaro

I like the looks of the Challenger more than the Camaro. Take some interior shots if you can. I haven't had a chance to see one close up. I may have to take a trip down to the shop to scope it out!

Looks wise it's a matter of taste but I bet the Camaro would out handle the Charger all day long.

Don did you do the blower on this car? How did you tune it?

I like the new camaros a lot more. If you want classic looks build a resto rod. I dont think any of these cars really give the feel of the classics.

That being said how can you go wrong with a supercharged v8. I hope he put some tires on that thing. It looks bone stock right down to the tires.

I wonder how it would run. I saw one at Cecil with the same set up. I think he said his best was a 12.10 on DRs .
