they still do, it just costs you 20 times as much to buy one. it's too bad, though, that nowadays you pay $20-30k and you get a p.o.s. poser mustang or camaro with half the hp and you have to look at vettes and vipers to get the power and the sound to back it up.

ElCam71 and Rjam are right. A Dodge Challenger is a real bargain these days. Be quick though, E-bodies are becoming more rare and increasingly expensive every day.

who cares about power? ok yeah it's cool to say that you've got a huge engine under the hood but the fact is that it can't do as good as a Dodge SRT-4 with a turbocharged 4-banger(oh yeah and has 215hp, 0-60 of 5.9, a 7 year 70,000 mile warranty,and all for 19,995)! i say in with the new out with the old.

these car's are cool but why mope about the past?

So true. They put rates so high that in 1973' legends died out and were neutered.

SuperBirds are the coolest mopar ever and SRT-4s are the coolest modern day car/mopar.
SRT-4 vs. WRX = SRT-4 lynching the WRX. I LIKE the Skyline more than the Supra, doesn't mean it's better.

When you look around the streets now adays, all you see r those little jap scrap peices of shit ill give them their props cause some are pretty pimped out but they couldnt do shit against a 426 hemi or a 440 B-1. "o my car can do a 1/4 in 11" thats with 50gs in it 100 shot of nos and a turbo. HEMIS came race ready and were rated at 12s stock. When i see those new "hybrids" i just wanna throw up i think they have like 60 hp. The people who buy them are even more of a joke. i dont care if my car burns a whole in the o-zone a hundred miles wide, if it can lay tire just by jumpin on it and sounds throaty, i dont give a damn.

Jap cars suck they couldnt put a scratch on a MOPARs ass

I dont give a damn if my car burns a hole in the o-zone layer a hundred miles wide, if my car sounds good and can lay tire just by romping on the gas, burn baby burn

I once drove by I THINK was a PlymouthGTX. Ive never seen one before that (nor have I seen one after, and all i know is that it had the Plymouth emblem and a "GTX" emblem.) But anywho, I know for a fact it had either a 440 6 pak or a HEMI because it was simply shaking the ground...while idling. That was a BADASS car, but sdly the driver didnt rev it up that high. Damn traffic.

The Charger all the way baby. Mad props to the Challenger, but the Charger is king, but second only to the Shelby Cobra.

hi

the 426 hemi was built in greater numbers as compared to the 429 boss.Approximatively 11000 hemi poewered cars were built as compared to 1200 1969-1970 boss 429 stangs built.The 426hemi has this distinctive clatter that makes it easily recognizable.The hemi sound is like a coffe can full of rocks.The hemi has also an undisputed drag racing and nascar palmares.The boos is a nice engine too.
