Maybe it is the higher prices, but I don't see alot of younger guys in the Challengers though.
Maybe its just something about this area. I dunno man. Not my intention to offend anybody.

My father and both brothers are dodge to the grave and they are mechanics, not doctors. I am a pharmacist and can afford much more expensive cars, but I drive a camaro and a charger. The challenger looks awesome, but was too overpriced compared to the camaro, but if chevy didn't bring back the camaro I would have a challenger SRT.

So since I have a charger I can't drive for shit?? Come on..
I think you took my post a little too literally.....fair enough though I can see how one would. All I'm saying is MOST of the people NOT ALL that I run into at shows with them, or at the track, or whatever seem to by and large be white haired dudes having a mid-life crisis or some yuppie and half the time it seems like I'm more excited about their car than they are. I already said I love the car still. I didn't say EVERYBODY who drives them is like that, I didn't say everywhere was the same, nothing like that. Just saying that's most of what I run into with them. This is not bashing people with money, or dodge people as a whole. I love all kinds of different cars and think people should do whatever makes them happy. As a side note, I never even generalized "dodge guys". Just who Chrysler seems to be targetting with this current lineup given the price/general attitude of them. They seem more luxury based. Not necessarily a bad thing! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmkay. By the way Black1lt, I love your cuda! Looks like an awesome project!
