So it's not as quick as the Ford Mustang; so it's not as sleek as the Chevrolet Camaro. Who cares - it's American muscle, so what's not to love? Here's an ovation to '70s retro, and to the Dodge Challenger.
The Dodge Challenger debuted in 1970 as the twin of the renowned Plymouth Barracuda. It was the epitome of the pony car aesthetic: long hood, short rear deck, blunt-nosed grill and aggressive hood scoops. Owners could choose from an astonishing cornucopia of options, colors, trims, fobs, and nine engines, the most famous of which was the 426-hp Hemi. In its first year, 84,032 Challengers were sold. The second year, due to loss of interest in muscle cars and increased emission regulations, only 29,883 Challengers were produced. In subsequent years, the one-hit wonder faded from memory, and the apathetic 1978-1982 Japanese Dodge Challenger merely nailed the coffin shut.

When December of 2007 came around, they started talking about manufacturing the 3rd generation Challenger & Dodge Challenger Rims. It was the introduced on February 6, 2008. It was built to resemble the first generation Challenger, but with new improvements like having a longer body & including brand new 2008 Dodge Challenger Rims. All of the 2008 & SRT8s models were built with the 6.1 L hemi & a 5-Speed Automatic Transmission.. which means that I can drive it since I have no idea how to drive stick. These were so popular at the time that Dodge pre-sold 6,400 cars, fully equipped with OEM Dodge Challenger Wheels.
If you want to buy a 2010 model, just know that it will honestly cost you about $515 - $1,010 higher than the 2009 models. The original color that it was shown in (HEMI Orange) was dropped for their 2010 model year; but was then put back for the same year. There are two new options for color scheme on the 2009 & 2010 Challenger: "Plum Crazy" & "Detonator Yellow". If I were to get the "Detonator Yellow", I'd probably have the 2009 Dodge Challenger Wheels in Chrome.. just because I think that they look better. There was another new color that's called "Furious Fuchsia" & was released in the February of 2010. Which color would you choose?
