I know they are not complete but the one we just got in has carpet. I am about to put it on ebay now. Bottom line I definately think you need to know what you are getting into. We just got in #5 and it is awesome just to look at and will make a great collection piece or amazing racer like you have done. Either way, way to go Mopar, bringing the "MUSCLE" to the people.

So you end up with about a $120K to $150K depending on how much you can do yourself. Dream if you care to, but to get into one of these is a major effort. Trust me, I own Drag Pak #24 and have already run world record times with it (dqed for 5 lb too light) and I have already put more than $150K into mine.

Wheel hop is so bad I have to launch like a turtle or lose the drive train. Thanks Dodge for all the burn out marketing and then disregarding poor customer sat due to wheel hop.

Chrysler has the "A" engineers but they get the "C" marketers. Here's a tip get the guys that do the Budweiser commercials. They have been great commercials over the years. These are the guys that came up with frogs and lizards to sell beer!! And they were great commercials. As a matter a fact you waited in anticipation to see what they were going to say next. Pure genius. Marketing has always been Chryslers down fall. Chrysler has the “A” engineers but they get the “C” marketers. Here’s a tip get the guys that do the Budweiser commercials.

Are you waiting for the new 2011 models where you will have some definitive changes or did you just forget about it? Advertising is how you sell things. I hear songs on the radio that I hate, however, once I hear them over and over again, I finally break down and start to like it and yes I may even buy it. Same with commercials on TV. You keep seeing products advertised over and over again until you finally decide to buy it. Only the crazy loyal mopar fanatics, like myself and the rest of the bloggers who visit this website even know that Challengers are available in plum crazy purple and funky fuchsia. You have to let people know because they will buy! RLD,
