Another ouchh! Hahaha!

[@NXT_LVL]

To be fair there's multiple right answers (Short Runner Technology) Gen III Hemi's have an electronic controlled flapper in the intake to adjust the short vs long runner for torque at low RPM and HP for high. Not sure if it was in the SRT4 Neon or the SRT6 Crossfire. but thats a potentially correct answer as well. But Street Race Technology is a better corporate branding that everyone can grasp.

How does the Challenger come first before the Charger? 1966 Charger 1970 Challenger? The LX Charger 2006 Challenger 2008? Am I missing something?

[@kgsartin]

Agreed, not sure why they accepted Challenger as a correct answer.

Thoroughly enjoyed the series, congrats to Preston and good on Dodge for doing something fun like this!

[@lmnation9677]

As Mopar enthusiast you had to have that jump out at you as an edit out moment... Both contestants were incorrect. Charger came first in every step of history. There was a Charger prototype vehicle in the 1940s before the Silver Challenger, the 60s fastback muscle car Charger was in production well before the 70s Challenger production run, and even in the modern era the Charger came first. All that said the Challenger is and always has been my favorite Dodge vehicle (Viper strong contender), so I'd prefer to say otherwise, but it just ain't true. Congrats to the finalists... I'm just making sour dough donuts about not being selected as first donut maker representing Dodge myself. However, I'm sure Preston will do a fabulous job! I still believe Dodge had the best donut making equipment in the industry and produces the richest smokey flavor with consistency on the market.

[@leert2698]

I thought I must have missed something when they said that the Challenger was before the Charger. I double checked myself and I was right about the Charger being first. That takes nothing away from either one, I personally love my Challenger. Production started in “64” and being sold in “65” as a “66” Charger. The Challenger hit in “70”. I’m sure if I have made a mistake, some kind enthusiast will correct me. Haha. It’s nothing to split hairs over. Have a good day everyone !

[@kramrollin69]

Yeah, I thought there would be 1000s of comments from the Moparisti about the Charger. Yes they are all wrong. You to Goldberg....you should have known better, you got or have had both those vintage Mopars. Even the Hulkster would have known!!....he owns a 69 R/T. The First appearance of Charger was in the late 50s with the Ramcharger intakes. Then Of course the Ramcharger engineers race "Club". Then in 1964 a concept performance convertible Dodge "Charger", 64 Dodge. Then of course, the release of the 66 Charger based on the Coronet. The E Body Challenger and Barracuda appeared in September 1969 for the 1970 MY. Even the modern "Daimler" Charger appeared before the Challenger. And that's it, there aint no more!! Hopefully Preston is all geed up with it now.😄🤘
