2009 Dodge Challenger - Popular Mechanics (#)

„Growing up, I heard a milloin stories of him with his 71 Dodge Demon and at the end of the story, they would say thing like "they sure don't make them like they used to be".People from my generation (20 to 35 years old), have heard all the stories about the cars then. All that's left for us is $100 000 muscle cars that has tons of ponies with no handling and no brakes.

„Seriously, who cares if it looks like the original, are there any good looking modern cars nowadays.. Chevey Impala(ugly), Ford Ka (bitch ugly), any Porsche, Ferrari Enzo, They're all ugly, the way forward is the styling of the 60's and 70's muscle cars, with the reliability of a modern enging, running gear, and everything else… GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT OKAY, DON'T GO THINKING YOU'RE SO GREAT, THE CORONET WAS A 4 DOOR, CHARGER AND CHELLENGER WERE 2, FOR CHRIST SAKE!!!“

Barrett-Jackson rumblings: Trouble in Westworld? - Autoblog (#)

„It seems like the recent rumblings out of Westworld are failing to die down. A high profile ejection of a respected collector car expert, rumors of shill bidding on company-owned muscle cars, and cars not getting their fair amount of stage time have all generated headlines from this year's biggest auction event, the Barrett-Jackson auction at Scottsdale, and those don't even address the biggest gripe most people seem to have – the seemingly insane high bids ...“

„There are only some american cars which are nice: p.e. dodge viper, all the muscle-cars, GT40, hmm… I don´t know more cars which are nice In comparison to the 300C this car sucks.

ROADandTRACK.com -- Road Tests, Comparison Tests - American Muscle! (2/2003) (#)

„Evidently, Big Three designers are asking the same question and have decided that it's time to build distinctly American-looking cars again, but with new levels of refinement and pulse-quickening technology that go far beyond the old idea of wedging a powerful V-8 into a lightweight body. There is a new generation of muscle cars coming off the drawing boards, onto the auto show circuit and someday in the not-too-distant future, to showrooms near you.“

SHOCKING ANNOUNCEMENT FROM CHRYSLER! Challenger news! - AutoSpies Auto News (#)

„America needs to capitolize on it so more people will "buy American". If it takes muscle cars to do it so be it.Then GM,Ford, and Chrysler(although they Chrysler are already doing it)need to create muscle car sedans. Unless the styling is uniquely American Ford GM and Chrysler will never gain on Europe and Japan in market share.So bring on the Mustang and Camaro based sedan. Then you have some real alternative to an Accord and Camry.“

2009 Dodge Challenger Is A Go! - Popular Mechanics (#)

„I say SO WHAT to all who think you ALWAYS need to look to the future. Those old Muscle Cars helped us get where we are today and WILL help with the future. The styling just adds to the fun of driving and gives us "Old Muscle Car Gear Heads" another option when buying a NEW car. I had a 1970 Plum Crazy Purple R/T 440 Six-Pac Challenger in the 80's during the BEST time of my life so I'll be skipping in line for one of the new ones.“

DETROIT AUTO SHOW- Lexus drops IS-F bomb on Munich-Exclusive real-life photos - AutoSpies Auto News (#)

„All this senseless hate on the IS-F, only shows that there are few true auto enthusiasts on autopsies.com. I myself am into every car scene (hot rods, muscle cars, low-riders, imports, etc.) and find it ridiculous to fight over such a landmark vehicle. Do you anybody knows how much of an impact the IS-F will make on the future Lexus models. We should all congratulate Lexus on their effort to be taken seriously in the luxury segment.“

GM Futurliner rewrites Barrett-Jackson record books, hammers to $4.1 million - Autoblog (#)

„Having said that, some of the spotty quality muscle cars went for more than pristine 356's! Even more than for some truly nice and interesting rods. I mean c'mon, muscle cars may be the oxygen bar fad of today but a lot of cars that had value in my eyes only got bid up to just a little over what they are really worth.“

„The system has four-into-one extractors from each bank of cylinders joining into a twin 2 Ľ-inch exhaust with an intermediate silencer box.

Arizona Auction Review - AutoWeek (#)

„RM’s results showed continued strength in American classics, such as the Duesenberg, and in models from the Edwardian era (1896-1904) and the Brass era (1905-1915). Muscle cars remain solid, but prices generally are contingent on condition, Kelleher noted.“
