Who goes to a car show to look at new Challengers ?

[bull]

A guys whose first muscle car was a 2010 Challenger did not have to dig through bins of rusty junk to find a specific bracket or pulley, or worry about whether cam cores or .040 over pistons would be available for his engine rebuild, or put his entire project on hold waiting for a backordered part to be produced, or crawl underneath it to scrape undercoating or do a drum to disc brake swap. There is a difference.

Not to be a smart a** but are we saying that only old guys that are familiar with 40 year old cars should go to car shows?  That will take a huge chuck out of attendance.  Forget about the future of the sport (if we can call it that).  I thought car shows were for car guys and gals to enjoy them...Agree with the PT Cruisers though...they aren't gearheads....haha.....I'll let the rich Viper guys in with the hopes they'll let me drive it!!!

I was stating my opinion as to what I like and the reason I go. I've attended many car shows, several prior to the onset of the Viper, new Challenger, new "Charger" and the PT Cruiser and there was no lack of attendance because those cars hadn't been built yet. There are probably more old guys than young guys that own new Challengers. A person's age is not really the point as much as the age of the car is to me.

I don't really care. But at my show they are in the "Showroom class "  They shouldn't be in with the muscle cars. But if they pay , they can show. We shouldn't discourage anyone . 

agree...

I think anyone with a nice car should be able to show it, but I do have to agree with bull that I tend to think more of a car when I know that the owner worked his or her ass off to restore it. Yes, anyone with good credit or a fat wallet can walk into a Dodge dealer and buy a new Charger or Challenger, but that same individual can also walk into a classic car dealership and write a check for a turn-key 1969 Charger. I guarantee you that a lot of people at shows with classic cars simply wrote out a check for their dream car and would rather spend their time enjoying it rather than restoring it. And there is nothing wrong with that.

And it's not so much about the people to me as it is the cars. Few of them were pampered and by all accounts it's a miracle as many of them survived that did.
