Default New challenger
i came across the new challenger a few hrs ago. it was a blk one with ram air hood. that thing looked amazing.It looked identicle to the old one. i swear for a sec i thought it was an old model. i must have busted a nut while i waited for a green light.I had my gf's z. I kinda wished i had my ss and maybe see if could get a run with him. the guy who owned the car looked to be Hispanic in his early 20's. I'm sure i could have talked him into a run.has anyone gotten a chance to run the new challenger?

Actually my Barracuda is kind of a bitch to work on lol

The oil filter is in a shitty *** spot, there are torsion bars going everywhere lol, and taking out all the fuel system parts was a PITA.

Thumbs up
We just had a supercharged new challanger at JBA for R&D for about a week. I think it is a nice car and it will get press.

It is a cool car but way to big..4200lbs

Dustin at JBA..


Great job
