When Car meets Military tech

The designers fitted the body of the car with jet enhancements that would even make Batman look twice. Special radar-blocking black paint covers the car, while a stealth exhaust allows it to run virtually silent. A roof-mounted camera detects any type of movement within a quarter mile. Biometric verification via the driver’s thumbprint gives access to the vehicle through gull wing doors.
I so want one! There is one more pic if you follow the link...

And on top of that, the Viper isn't exactly
the old classic kind of cars (fords/dodges)
The Viper used to be my favourite for a very, very long time, mostly due to a certain tv series, but for some reason it lost its appeal (and that has nothing to do with the fact that real Vipers can't shoot emp pulses or turn into 4x4's :lol: )

The Challenger is much closer to a classic muscle car than the Viper will ever be.

this is turning into a BMW vs Merc / Opel vs VW kinda thing. But that is wrong. The Viper and the Challenger are 2 completely different cars.

I like the Viper because in a world of facsimiles, it stands out as something truly unique (at least the 1st one did, not so sure about the new one). I have a special place in my heart for crazy cars (AMG C63 / Bowler Wildcat / Porsche GT2), and this one was one of the first. Long may it live.

I also like the Challenger because it captures the essence of American muscle and wraps it up in a modern package.

I'm not saying the shape is a copy cat of the lambo reventon

The Paintwork ,interior and gadgets is made to look like a stealth Fighter jet.

Lamborgini has already don it, now they did it aswell.

On top gear they that the lambo and you can set the Digital dials to look like a plane's
