In 2008 when the first Challengers were released as SRT8 models, I was 23 years old and just out of college. I went to visit my sister in California and we drove past a Dodge dealer. They had a black one in the showroom with silver stripes. I still remember that car. I got a brochure and looked at it several times over the years. I was driving a loser cruiser Honda at the time. I lusted after the Challenger but any thought of owning one was so far out of reach.
My sister bought an R/T new in 2015. What a great car.
