I want one!!

[Just a Six?]

Why they need to go to the track again & again has no bearing on the fact it's a 700+ HP car right from the showroom. 
It's quick, safe, has Cold AC, good stereo, air bags, 8 speed auto with 3 settings etc. etc. It will most likely kick the Snot out of most street cars & many of the "weekend warrior" drag cars that run 11's on $20K mods like our Bricks do. Plus, I will also bet that it will kick ass on a road course against the said "track cars". Then when some guys get the urge to form a business making them 9 sec cars for street/strip what more do you want??
Don't be a Hater because it's a MOPAR! 

I Love my Buick & have had it since 88 but when I see a Nice Car I don't care if it's a Mopar, GM, Audi, Porsche etc, they all deserve recognition no matter what your personal taste is or future usage may be?

I don't knock the car I knock the way they advertise it.  It was like when they started putting Hemi's in the trucks.  I thought they were the most annoying commercials out there.  That being said, they did do a nice job on the Challenger.  And a little competition can only help with some of the new offerings that GM and Ford will have.  Here's to competition!

Don't get me wrong...it's a nice looking car. If Leno had any balls...as soon as that Chrysler exec said it does 10.3 with slicks...Leno should have said let's go grab a set and give it a whirl. You can bet Leno got a piss pot full of cash to promote the car...or was given one. I'm with Forzfed on the promoting. If they're gonna shoot their mouth off it does a certain ET...then prove it with a REAL video.

I agree the commercial was Typical Car BS plus they forgot to add a few Chicks in Underwear laying on the hood!

I agree but Leno is just a TV host. Now a semi-pro driver would be interesting?
The thing is that no matter who does it you either like it or hate it whether it runs the number or not.
I grew up on Mopars & if I had $100k burning a hole in my pocket I would buy one. Altho I don't see myself having $100K in my piggy bank this week!

Again...the car looks mean. Remember...tha t's flywheel HP...not WHP...and it weighs a ton. What I love about these new cars is a lot of people believe the hype...and buy one. They show up at the track thinking they have a world beater...and promptly get their asses handed to them. I go to great lengths playing with backspacing with the stock rims for different size slicks...just to head fake these guys. And I never run the 1/4 mile when practising. I let my foot out of it at the 1/8th...and coast. The 1/8th mile doesn't show on the board...so they have no clue as to what's about to happen to them. The look on their faces...is priceless.

My idea for a new TV series: Breaking Brad.

Sorry buddy it seems that regular people are going to do just fine with a Hellcat equipped SRT Challenger.

That car is an "Awesome off the Showroom Floor Street Monster" with a quiet ride to boot! 
I'll bet that within the year of 2015 that someone has a kit to get it into the Low 10's on some Drag Radials!
Silly that they didn't put at least a roll bar in it at the factory but I'll bet that another part of the "upgrade package" will include that or a cage. Nice street car if you have the $$$

The Challenger is bigger and heavier than its competitors but it is very comfortable to go down the road in.  You don't feel trapped inside like the Camaro or Mustang.  Weight works against it but I think it is over all a much better car.  I have been thinking of selling my Camaro and buying an R/T from around 2012 with a manual tranny just because I don't deal with traffic out here and I miss shifting gears.

There was a turbo'd Drag Pak Challenger running in the low fives in a nearby 1/8 mile track.  Certainly not streetable, but it was damn sure impressive by all accounts

Need four doors?

Live streaming the release...

They just said that it is NHRA certified on street tires at 11.0 and has a top speed of 204mph (longer is better)!

That engine pic of all the parts is pretty cool! 4 doors aren't for me but it's a great option for a young family. 

[Steve Wood]

My son has been trying convince me I need a Charger but.....I like the Challenger better

[good2win22]

I'm thinking that I like the 4 doors. 

[Just a Six?]

I'm thinking that I like the 4 doors. 

I remember when I was about 10 or 11 & my cousin got a new Challenger that was either a 70 or 71 paint was Orange White inside but no Hemi.
Still was a great car to ride shotgun in!!

Meant to post this in Steve's answer
