Not saying you can but that's just my personal fantasies, kinda like these guys but with good old amercan muscle instead of british muscle :mrgreen: (skip to about 5:30 for the good bits)

Yeah it's a bit unrealistic and a bit unreasonable but it's want I'd want :finga: not sure I could put up with a stock piece of american muscle otherwise...they sure are sexy though.

Been that way for years with the Euro imports. Look at how much a Harley costs. You think it's worth the money? Is it as reliable as a Honda or a Kawasaki? Has thier technology kept pace?

Yet people keep buying them because of the image they carry. It's an American icon. Name someone in the average age bracket of this forum who can afford something like a Harley. It's $25K for a motorcycle. For that I could get a good car, hell $5K more and I'm in Evo/STI territory.

The Challanger isn't geared towards the performance car enthusiast. It's geared to someone who want's to look cool.
