Besides 'expensive'?

How about "underperforming"?

They didn't sell well and they didn't acomplish what they were supposed to on the track.
Seeking information on '69 St. Louis plant VINs, SPDs and VONs. Buld sheets and tag pictures appreciated. Over 3,000 on file thanks to people like you.

"Ugly"

Sorry, no offense meant.  :lol:

I know all about what the car is & what it means to a lot of people, but all the things that made the 2nd generation Charger a great looking car & stand out from the rest of the Dodge line up, was removed for the 500.

One of my favorite one word comments for our 69 Charger has always been B1tchin' and since I am not sure about your profanity filters here I will edit slightly....  It seems appropriate for a 500 :angel:

And a word that comes to mind from a little boy at a car show dragging his daddy down the row of cars to the Daytona

Racecar daddy, racecar.

I think "SLICK" is the winner. "SLIPPERY" is runner up.
I believe 'Ol slippery" was used by Bobby Issacs to describe the Daytona in an ad.

Everyone that's slagging on the 500 for not being quick enough, imagine if Chrysler had shown enough sense to not trot the car all over the damned place first and give Ford lot's of warning.  The 500 was not a failure in the strictest sense, Ford had plenty of time to prepare a counterstrike thanks to marketing.  :Twocents:

It is true that it is the winningest of the aero cars. However that stat is flawed too as it raced in the most races, due to being used on short tracks and superspeedways as well.

Well, I respect your opinion.  Personally I find them a lot more attractive than after the giant wing and Jimmy Durante nose cone were grafted on but it's a big hobby and there's room for both.

I don't have the numbers here in front of me, but I think that over the 2 years it was something along the lines of 22 or 23 wins.
