I was cruising by my local Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealer late one night and noticed they had 4 or 5 Challengers parked out in front of the dealership. I back my big *** Cadillac Brougham even with the front bumper of the Challenger, and the damn thing is almost as big.
My Caddy was only 1 foot longer. I swear up and down that the Challenger was about 2-4" wider and about the same height. What really added to the bigness was the hood and trunk sat about 2-4" higher than my Caddy, it just felt like the whole car was much more massive. Its just weird, the hood/trunk/fenders/beltline is real high with really small windows, it just makes it look huge.

Reading comprehension must not be your strong suit... if you read my first post I said that it looked like the OP's car was lowered pretty nicely, but after he said it was only lowered a little bit I looked at the picture again and decided that it was mostly his wheels that gave the impression that the car was sitting lower; they fill the wheel-wells very nicely. So I don't know where you got anything negative from that, but I guess it was just wishful thinking on your part.

It's funny you posted this, bc just a couple days a new Challenger was parked next to me when I got back to the car and all I could think was, "WOW that car is huge!" The rear end was so tall from bottom of bumper to top of the spoiler it dwarfed the rear of the TA.

No i understand but you always have some kind of comment degrading f-bodies, maybe im just reading too much into it. Oh well who cares, the point of the thread is Challengers suck and f-bodies rule!
