BStowers023 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Went and picked up my brand new 2017 Dodge Challenger R/T last night. The pics I saw did not do the car justice at all. I absolutely love it! It's equipped with the 5.7 Hemi (375hp/410ftlbs) with a 6 speed manual trans. It's got the upgraded Super Track Pack (upgraded suspension and tires pretty much). The Destroyer Gray with the wheels combo looks great IMO. The gloss black wheels that come with the blacktop package look tacky to me, so I'm glad I lucked out and found this one. It's obviously nowhere near as fast as my Vette or WS6, but the best thing about this car for me is that it's fully covered under warranty for the next 3 years which is honestly why I went with a brand new car. Because of this, I don't really plan on doing any performance mods because I don't want to void the warranty. The only things I am considering doing is tinting the windows, painting the brake calipers and possibly adding black stripes like some of the hellcats have, but I haven't sold myself on that yet. Here are some pics http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt325/BStowers023/E35E9EBE-661E-42B4-8D99-26DA2FF4C2E2_zpsvrdbdnkf.jpg http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt325/BStowers023/EF2F8DCC-DECA-447F-8D41-36D3C579686A_zpscrkhhikf.jpg http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt325/BStowers023/92B2168D-DE04-4E6E-99A4-94DFB7C97A74_zpssiwyubz8.jpg http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt325/BStowers023/311D98CD-DB63-41D4-AA2B-E4B94DE91552_zpsi1eqrlu4.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Excellent pick up Sir. Not as fast but you can still definitely enjoy it. Actually in the market for something similar as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 That is super sexy! Love it! That color is really nice. Wheels are great too! ^^ this. There's a similiar/same color one floating around me in Dublin/Worthington Brookside area. Haven't run up next to him but I'd love to check it out. After having coated Patrick's 4 runner (concrete color) I'm digging these grays more and more. I'll post pics up of his. Seems a little lighter but both are sexy.

-Alex- Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Really nice looking combo. Dodge has some great deals on Chargers and Challengers right now. I keep looking at the T/A's, I think it's a great looking retro theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStowers023 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Thanks guys! I didn't like the color when I first saw it, but it grew on me a lot. Tim, I'll try and be at cars and coffee tomorrow if I can, if not just text me sometime and you can come check it out! I don't live too far from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Nice! I've been checking out the T/A 392's myself but don't want to flip into another one when mine is almost paid off. That color is probably my 2nd choice behind white. Octane Red looks pretty good on these cars too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l36tols1 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Love the car. I got a chance to get some seat time in one a few years ago. Drove from Phoenix to Sedona in it a few times. Really comfy and pretty good uphill just kept accelerating without issue. Pretty good around the curves too. Real smooth ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right before I drove that, I drove a 2017 Focus ST and a 2018 WRX. The Focus ST was comfortable but the lease price was a complete joke. The WRX was a nice car but it honestly wasn't comfortable at all, at least not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 You leased a Challenger and want to throw a buncha paint and stickers on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStowers023 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 You leased a Challenger and want to throw a buncha paint and stickers on it? Paint on the brake calipers lol and I am leaning towards no stripes. I have the car for over 3 years. I don't think painting brake calipers or putting window tint will hurt it or my pocket :dumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BStowers023 Posted June 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I appreciate the compliments guys! Here's a cool pic I took today at C&C. I think the Hellcat is from Carlyle Racing? http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt325/BStowers023/7D6049A3-474F-43B1-8B8D-E98998383B85_zpsmstk1dvl.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benner Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I can't figure it out but part of me hates the challenger but another part really likes them. Not a huge fan of most of the color options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zx2guy19 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Damn man, I love that color combo. Great pickup and good choice on the lease. Beat the hell out of it and hand over the keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
