I have to get one of these

[mildcustom2]

I don't know how many car crazy people are on Canreef, but I am absolutely car crazy and reef crazy and have to share this. I have been following the developement of the new Dodge Challenger and after reading a recent article in a magazine I have decided I have to get one. MSRP for the new Challenger is 40-50 grand. I owned a 2003 Nissan 350Z for 3 years and had to sell it because of my wife and my new job (needed something that could carry lots of gear, 3 months later they gave me a new truck). Ever since I have felt like I had lost my man hood. Well now I'm getting it back and what better way than with a new Hemi Challinger. In 2008 it will only be available in an automatic, in 2009 it will be available with a 5spd and 6 spd stick. I'll be waiting for the 2009 models. Now the only hard part is deciding what color to get it in.

I know, what's up with Chrysler? It's like they're trying incredibly hard to not suck or something.

Neighbour kid's got himself a Charger Daytona 6.1. This thing is a beast, I want to ask him to take me for a ride in it. JSTR on this board has himself a pretty spiffy Charger too, in the limited edition purple. I've gotta say it is one sweet ride. Wish there was a way I could get myself one of them without losing my Xterra to get it, 'cuz I still need the truck to haul around the summer toys if nothing else. It's .. um .. sort of uncool to put a trailer hitch on a sports car, no?

gorgeous car! Very nice choice indeed!

I am tempted by the 2008/09 Camaro coming out.....I had a 91 Camaro in white, T-roofs, dressed and improved 305 TBI HO, Rockford Fosgate stereo system with 12" subs, lowered with hydraulics (yeh it went up and down like on the gangster videos) and was one h**l of a car....bought it new, built it to what it was and sold it when I had kids a few years back as the hydraulic pumps took up the back seat....it's hard!

Sorry, just not a Dodge fan, Maybe an older Hemi Cuda, but I will still take the new Camaro when it comes out, but not till second year of production. As for toys, I just got rid of my 94 GT,,It was a fun little car, but I am working on my 78 Malibu. The Mustang was a respectible 475hp and had a top speed of ?? Well I backed it off at 240km and still climbing.. The Malibu when finished should have approximately 800hp and I am hoping for low 10's in the 1/4 mile.. We will see, still a year or so away yet. Hard to decide between corals or Supercharger sometimes. This was my old Stang and the other pic is my wife in what I tried not to see very often..http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...ry/stanger.jpg

You get your hands offa my car! Color.. there is only one worthy choice...

Everyone may not agree with me but in my opinion this is the first and only real retro muscle car. Yes Ford did a nice job on the new Mustang but it still dosen't feel like the original Mustangs of the late sixties. A mustang I would consider a sports car but not the new Challenger. It embodies everything that was true about a muscle car. I do think putting a trailer hitch on a 425hp muscle car would be a small sacrafice to pay to own one though .

But it's a Dodge. Even if it looks cool on the outside it's a Dodge.
