I am sooooooo kicking myself for not snagging one when I had the opportunity. That was a great clip and I think he told it JUST as it is! |

Well, took a bit longer, but "Abenteuer Auto" just had the Challenger on, too ... They also found a "hidden feature" on it ... when you go beyond 220k and have a sunroof, it will open ... (or rather, start lifting in front) Guess they didn't expect anybody to go that fast

Problem is that most modern cars without a full window frame will lower the window slightly when the door is opened, then put the window back up once it is closed, by that "locking" the window in place ... much to complicated for a "cheap" US car .. |

Coming over the brow (around the 45 second mark) was NOT very elegant. I bet the Challenger is all about acceleration and nothing about handling...... a typical American car. |

As 5th gear already stated, the suspension is the typical weak spot ... guess there's no point in designing good handling for a nation that only gets up to 75mph ... |

Shoot, I thought that guy really told the world really how the car was in typical British fashion. Which maded us good ole Yanks feel good , but yet the rest of the world understood and is laughing at us for such a stupid heavy American car that can only go fast only in a straight line and as long as the line is no longer than 1/4 mile. |
