Tire technology was Horrible in the 60's/70's, even drag slicks back then weren't as sticky as Trofeo R or Michelin cup street tires of today. Other big difference is the transmissions/ gearing. Old cars with optional 4.10 gears only had a 10.045 1st gear multiplication with a 3 speed torqueflite transmission The Hellcat with 2.62 rear gearing has a massive 12.34:1 1st gear multiplication factor.Even worse was top speed/highway RPM for the old 1:1 transmissions. The Hellcat has a double Overdrive giving it a 1.7554 top gear vs. 4.10 for the old stuff.

The SRT Challenger is a textbook case of doing everything right. They did not change the bodystyle when Mustang and Camaro changed theirs. Dodge hung tough, knowing their market exactly. The older guys are the largest chunk of the Challenger V8 market and Dodge knows this segment loves the current timeless look of the Challenger. When a design is done right, it stands the test of time and the Challenger with the tasteful front and rear updates of '15 hit it out of the park. Dodge is smart -- they know the older guys that grew up with the originals want the car to remain the same size and look, but more power and trim levels like the T/A, Scat Pack etc. With the 426 Hemi Challenger no doubt on the horizon, the biggest issue is which of these models to buy!

Interiors are MUCH nicer, more stylish, better fit and finish ( by far) and better materials ( by far) and the electronics actually work! ( my U-Connect died 3 yrs after I bought it) And they handle and brake WAY better than mine does. However, there is something to be said about the simplicity of mine, vs the new 1's with all of the gadgetry. To each his/her own, but that's not for me. I looked at a '17 Scat Pack 392 6 speed as an upgrade to mine, but all the fluff.. well for the $$$ I didn't buy it. And Jay's right. These are GT cars. Big, comfortable, powerful cruisers that you can actually use for extended trips ( which is 1 of the things I love about mine. I drove from my home to Oklahoma City which is 13 hrs, and recorded 27.5 mpg at 70, cruise on. on 92 premium no ethanol mix gas. That was with 2 full sized suitcases and a bunch of other luggage in the trunk.) The guest mentions sales at about 150k per yr. Interestingly, their sales were slow up until about '10 and Dodge nearly scrapped the project! Chargers were out selling Challengers 5 to 1! 300s 4 to 1. In fact, I found out my car, as optioned and painted, is less than 1 of 450 produced for 09! These are really special cars. I've driven the new Camaros. Can't see out of them. Trunk is pretty small, and the back seat is for children. I've driven the new Mustang and though more refined than ever, it felt small, and it was easy to lose control. These Challengers gotta be pushed pretty hard before you lose it. Very forgiving cars. If something were to happen to mine, I know I'll buy another 1. BUT you can keep the 8 speed, I prefer to row my own boat!

I still have my Bright red 09 R/T HEMI 6 speed manual. Every time I take "Rachael" for a drive, she still turn heads. You classic refit like mine, 08-14 will be collector items. Not these new body style. I'm 52. Hard core Mopar. But these Challengers were styled for young nonmopar generation. Only gear heads. That's just my opinion.

@@metanoia6335 I agree the price of these cars have become crazy. In my opinion not enough of them are produced to drive the price of them down to where the average Joe can afford them. In the 1960s and 1970s far more were produced taking the population numbers into account. If they were to produce the same amount of cars now taking in account for population growth they would be producing far more muscle cars then they are currently. The big problem is people buying cars from foreign owned car companies like Honda, Nissan,Toyota etc etc has really hurt our Domestic car sales. One of the biggest lies ever told was that foreign cars were better then American cars. That came about through awesome car advertising by foreign car companies that their cars were better and people believe it. All cars eventually break down no matter what they are or how much they cost.

It also had little tires and small round hubcaps. I think it was not legal to drive on the street as best as I remember, I will never forget that car. I think it had a cross-ram manifold with two four barrel carbs. (AFB's I think?). I remember thinking how ugly the Superbird was and so was the Daytona, neither one of them sold at all... This was about 50 years ago so I may have some of the details wrong...
