I bought a NEW 2008 Challenger....!

[Magnumcharger]

I wanted to see how it would fit. And I don't see what the big hoopla is!   
I could barely get a couple of fingers into it.
If Daimler-Chrysler is serious about selling these cars, they're going to have to consider making them at least....TWICE this size!!

So anyhow....I thought I'd throw the new one up against the older version for a bit of a size comparison.
As it turns out, if they are both true to the 1/18 scale depiction, then the new Challenger isn't THAT much bigger than the old. Note how the roof is almost exactly the same size, while the windsheild id projecting that much further ahead. And of course, the hood is quite a bit shorter.

With regards to the model, the detail is VERY good! Even the hood has springs. The interior and trunk actually have rugs, the visors fold down, and the seats not only fold forward, they slide back and forth on rails!

Quite possibly the best detailed 1/18 car in my collection.

They look like they stayed real true to the 70.

Yeah they didnt ruin the Challenger like they did the Charger

If I were to buy a brand new car, it would be the Challenger!

[69bronzeT5]

I would buy one too.

[bull]

If only the real engine compartment were half as simple we'd be in business.

Is your model a diecast 1:18?  Where did you get it?  It really does look good.

Im pretty sure the brand is ERTL.

That's disgusting. I don't care if the seats DO slide back & forth, that's too expensive!

I'm pretty sure after all is said and done, this TOY was a $100 touch...owie!
I had put my name on an advance order for purchase way back in September, and it showed up this month.
A late Xmas present I guess.

The mfg is highway 61.I preordered one and the cost was $69 I thought that was a good price considering how much detail there is.I also picked up one at a auto swap meet it was mfg. by maisto for $20 but it doesent have half the detail as the other.I cant wait for the real thing to come out I might have to sell my house to get it.
