Absolutely love the Challenger. RT is the right choice. Really dislike the blackout treatment.

If I was to get a Challenger it would be a pure white R/T 6-speed. Think Vanishing Point.
I like them. Love my Evo, but I like Challengers, Camaros, and Mustangs too.

Miao, Cat My first choice was white also. With red stripes (very unique looking). Something like this, minus the red on the wheels. Watch out for pebbles with that much of a drop!

If there is a retro car they nailed it is this one. Granted I was NOT alive when the original came out nor can I afford either new or old but still cool nonetheless.
EDIT: Age edit lol!

Sexy. I like how the modern muscle cars are going back to their 60s looks. The Challenger is my favorite, but I secretly desire GM to put out a new Trans Am.

Yes. That's what makes it extra certain it'll never happen but dammit, it should.

I feel like all of the retro-inspired pony and muscle cars have captured the essence of their heritage but lack the flair of the originals. I'd blow my savings tomorrow if Ford released a production Mustang that looked like this:  That's an exterior customization of the modern Mustang by a company called Retrobuilt. All you need is a donor GT model and an additional $30,000 or so for the exterior package...

I'm with Cat for the very same reason..... Vanishing Point. White looks so sweet on the Challengers. Not to knock a colour, but red always looks like a Revell plastic model to me. It could be Enzo Ferraris' personal pony and if it's red I'd not like it.
That said, congrats. If I were to buy a Dodge it would be a Challenger. Hope you have a lot of good years in her, scission.
