Quote: Yes, the Challenger Drag Pack was targeted towards NHRA Stock and Super Stock classes only. Much like the Mustang Cobra Jets.
So its safe to say the new Mustang does not get the same bad rap for its grill layout that 72-74 Challengers have?
New Shelby
Challenger
Even the early Shelby grills don't get the same stigma as the Challengers and they are almost identical.
What bad rap or stigma...??? The 72-3 Challenger was the first car i truly fell in love with. Saw a couple in the local papers for sale and one parked down the street from my junior high school in a car lot. Hell, i dont think i saw a 70-1 Challenger or ANY Cuda until i went out and bought a car mag some time later. How can you not like that grille?
Love that Challenger in the pic though, 335's on the rear!
I think the 72-73 Challengers would have looked killer if the had come with split bumpers like the early 70's Camaro. Someone should photoshop one and see how it would look.
