My Neighbor Thinks His Scat Pack Challenger is a Race Car

He saw the damage to my car and asked me about my accident. Then he proceeded to tell me about when he ran over a curb in a parking lot which damaged the underside of his race car. I chuckled, but didn't challenge him on it. Then I told him my car was a race car and he laughed. He has no clue about Gen6 Camaro's, much less what a 1LE is.

Seems like all the Charger and Challenger owners think their cars are race cars especially the V8 models.

I think race car to most people just means they can smash the gas every red light

I'm sure many Civic Type-R owners consider theirs a race car, too.

Ours isn't 20y old but it is also somewhat heavy and sedan'y... Camaro looks bigger than CT5-V Blackwing when side by side

I know. Agree with you. And it weighs something like 4,200 lbs.

Actually the R in Honda Civic Type R is for race car and they do race in TCR class.

Mopar not so much of a race car. “Boat Division”

My son's Matrix got towed so I had to go get that POS junked.

What do I see?

Beat to hell mazda
Beat to hell altima
Beat to hell equinox
SHINY AS HELL Charger scat pack with ripped up bodywork.
SHINY AS HELL Challenger with airbag deployed
SHINY AS HELL Charger RT, also wrecked.

I joked to the lot attendant that was the natural state of a Dodge sports car...wrecked.

We usually have someone running one of those Challengers at our autocross series. 4 to 6 seconds off the pace.

Race one at Autocross. They are absolutely the real deal.

Scatpack/WB on the other hand...laughable doing the same.
