Default New Dodge Challenger

Is someone in Australia doing compliance on these?

Reason I say this, is that I saw a new Orange Challenger yesterday on the back of a trailer being towed by a 4x4. I dont think it was the SRT8, but still a very nice looking piece of machinery, I think Id prefer the Camaro, but yeah very nice all the same.

Only got a quick glimpse of it as it went by in the opposite direction on the highway, but it looked to be RHD. So im guessing it aint a track car.

It's advertised in Unique Cars mag, I think by one of the Sydney based converters, also I think Crossover in Melbourne might be doing them.

Does anyone know what happened to the challenger that Richard Hammond drove in Top Gear on the salt flats?

there is a black Challenger SRT-8 down the road from me, looks sweet! I thought it was the new Camaro at first. I would get the Camaro though, I prefer the interior (it's not so bland, as it is in the Challenger. I am betting the Camaro is the nicer daily driver too, with better fuel economy.
