Nicely said my friend

That…was a good one

Try early 80s! Check out their archives. Pure gold.

yes been there done that-now for the plug in vacuum cleaners!!!

Makes me wonder how many electric ones they will sell. Seems pointless to me. I’m not against electric vehicles but I’ll never buy an all electric Challenger.

Challenger is soooo over rated, glad it will end!!!!

@@User_92020 Jealous of the beast Or you like garbage ford's?? Lol

@@User_92020 Its faster than your mom's Dodge Minivan.

Lol you didnt hear?

​@@LMBC6Brian 😂

Sounds like he's thankfully finally run out of all those extra H's, too!

Wonder if they’ll do a General Lee for the Charger

@@programmerm5907 I would REALLY LOVE THAT!!! I’m a brown guy and I always loved the General Lee

@@rushmatic I feel like it would look best on a Challenger body, but the nameplate kinda forces it to the 4-door.

@@programmerm5907 agreed, the online renderings I’ve seen look really good as a 4 door. If I had the money I would do it in a heartbeat.

Never let a good story escape the marketing department

This is correct! Smh..

Yep, I was surprised when I heard it was going on the auction block.

Too bad about the syntax-and-punctuation thing making you seem so slow.

Yeah especially when his dad said, "Don't you sell my car"!

Agreed. I think it's sad they are selling it. Must be really hurting for money.

Exactly

Fabricated story brah. It never happened

Yep, the environmental weenies are taking over.

The Challenger may come back, but not as a big HEMI V8. It would be on a modified version of the new STLA large platform with probably the twin turbo Hurricane V6 HO with around 500HP/500lbft of torque. Dodge hasn't said anything about the Challenger yet. Yes we know the current version is going away but they haven't said anything about a replacement. I have a feeling they're going to leave the Charger as the EV only model and the Challenger as the ICE model but again with the HO Hurricane TT V6....possibly a hybrid offered as well?

Just curious, shouldn’t the PSI be set higher since it’s cold? Either way, 11.2s is good especially under those gusts

MW can’t drive is well known. A 16 year old girl who just got her license could turn a better time.

@@TheRealHungryJoe The factory says 32 psi. I run my most the time at 35 psi. I lowered them to. The 3 psi to factory specs. so i could see what it would do. I matched the 11.2 times by Dodge. But i beat their 125 mph time. By 1 mph at 126 mph. I am sure if the weather better, and warmer. And no too little wind. I could ran a 11.0 at 127-28.

​@Kevin Vojta I doubt it. .2 in the quarter is = to losing 200lbs for the run. You may have chopped off a tenth.

Imagine if it had heated up drag slicks in the back. I remember a '16 stock charger hellcat doing 10s with the slicks on

These look better as they are more concave than the eaarlier black ones

No, they shouldn't. He made the story up about it being a street racer that terrorised the street. There's a video on it her on RU-vid. It was all about $$$

Nope this is it.

The vacuum cleaner will be in fast x supposing

1984

I feel the same way 😮

Don't worry they'll sell out immediately. These are the last ones made before they go electric.

Older RWD sedans and pony cars are skyrocketing in value. The last non crossover/truck production cars will be the Mustang, and Ford has already ruined the design for 2024, so they're taking a step back and I only see a downward spiral for that too. And that makes sense to me, I was waiting for it to happen. They could only ride out the retro look for so long. I see it was a win, especially since I already own a Mustang and hope it only increases in value.

Narrow bodies are fine and you can always get wider tires, if you need. Consider yourself lucky to have such an awesome ride!

@@lego4virgo thanks . I do love the Scat Pack. It’s a fun muscle car to drive.

There isn't a damn thing wrong with your Scatpack It's 90% of the fun for half the price.

@@mikeyfourbarrel8473 yup 💪💯 I’ve had it for 4 years now and each time I drive it I have a big smile on my face. Enough power for me 🐝

Amazing

I would buy the Porsche if that's the case. The Porsche hold their value better and are more driver oriented.

And?

Stellantis, FCA dissolved a few years back now.

Street tires and RWD put wider and stickier tires it will run better times

And Ferrari

Dodge is now owned by the French! Peugeot/ Citroen is the current owner...

It was all about getting top $ for the car when sold. The story was made up by his son. There is a RU-vid video on it. The story of 'The Black Ghost' terrorising streets is just that, a story. Its a scam.

True! Unfortunately, they have traction problems even with sticky street tires. There's a limit to how much power a 4400lb car can put down through two tires I guess.

They made lots of changes and improvements! But you're not totally wrong.

That Mercedes S-Class/E-Class *"Hand me down" chassis didn't need much, if anything to improve it. It is a very solid and stable handling chassis. Granted, the first few years were plagued by poor quality parts, but after that they revised and improved said parts.

You do not know what situation the KId or Family is suffering. But you still took a guess and commented. Very immature...Life lesson. Focus on oneself and leave People business alone.....

@The Truth well, I wouldn't have made this comment if I didn't do a little research. The son started showing this car back in 2017, at the Chicago muscle car and Corvette show, then Several Detroit Autotama shows, all inclusive Dodge shows, etc. Now if your hurting for money, you're not going to trailer this car all over the show circut. It's been featured on Hagerty, local Detroit news stations during the Woodward Dream Cruise. Hot Rod channel, and other car channels. Dodge for 2023 has come out with a Black Ghost edition, but dealerships are commanding between $50,000 and $150,000 over sticker price. The original owner told his son before his passing, "Don't give the car away". So, with All the hype that car has developed and it's a 1of 22. Don't tell me that $ isn't the motivation here. After watching several videos of the son. He's clearly not a car guy. He even admitted in 2017, that he had no idea why the car was special. A 426 hemi 4 spd with a rare gator skin vynal top, 1 of 22. Come on. So, I'm immature. At least I did my homework before I posted. I'm sure the son is hoping for 3 bidders with deep pockets. However other collectors that have seen it, say it's rough for a survivor, $500,000 is what they think. Iconic as this car is with all the street racing stories, and it was your dad's car. Once it's sold. It's gone. Into a collectors garage, and you'll never see it again. Until he wants to make money off it.
