Many years ago...I hate to say it but around 20 years back I bought a lovely Dodge Challenger I had it around 4years but eventually sold it to get hitched! and buy a house.
The thing is I like the new Challenger but they are way over priced at the moment.
So the question is how will a 5.7 ltr CV8 Monaro stack up against a 5.7ltr R/T challenger? OK my old Challenger was a bit of a death trap,the rear brakes would lock up, but the front dics were ok,and the steering was far to light, but the new one's must be sorted. What do you lot think?...oh the crap Monaro's bit...made you look!

Only reason to get a challenger is for the looks, they do look cool. But then you really want the SRT-8 or even one of the Hurst supercharged editions to keep up with the weight disadvantage.
The Monaro, or VXR8 will out perform it without too much trouble but won't have the retro charm.

Aesthetically the original Challenger is my fave Yank musclecar. What engine was in yours - 318ci, 440 or something in between....Hemi? The thing is I like the new Challenger but they are way over priced at the moment.

My car was a bit odd? it had a 318 ci engine, but came with a rally dashboard,electric sunroof, disc brakes it also had an LSD together with a heavy duty suspention pack. I put some headers on it and some nice sounding mufflers!!!
It was bright yellow with a black vinyl roof.
I was 21yrs old when I bought it and every young punk was driving a hot hatch of some description at that time, but not this kid, no way..always locked in the 70's
I have to admit that I took great pleasure in looking after that car as it was a good one. Do I regret selling it........well....almost every other day....
I hope I don't feel like this If I sell my Monaro..trouble is you won't really know until it's too late !!!
