Challenger e-mail campaign

[bipto]

Alright folks, it's time to start the Challenger e-mail campaign. One of the articles on the Challenger concept states point blank that the build/no-build decision will be made based in part on public reaction to the concept. So... let's react, LX enthusiasts! Now before you start flaming me about how ineffective this will be - I don't want to hear any of that negativity! I will have you know that I wrote DCX an e-mail per month between August, 2001 and January, 2004 begging them to build the Charger, and ya know what happenend? THEY BUILT IT!

So here goes... Follow the link, indicate your interest in the concept in a 2-sentence e-mail, and in 18 months we'll have our Challengers!

[XCITsNU]

Got mine in with the request for the 6.4L 392cu engine as a must have in order to purchase. :)

[MattRobertson]

done. Although I think its crummy they require my phone number, which I put down as 559.767.1111.

:evil:

[kmag50]

Done...just sent.

[StarJack]

Done!

[67alecto]

I threw mine in as well

[cHoOcH]

Shot mine away too!!! I hope they become overwhelmed with positive comments on this.

[HEMI x 2]

Done.

This was my message

As the current owner of a 1968 HEMI Charger R/T, 1969 Charger (my 1st car bought in 1980) and '04 HEMI Durango SLT AWD and many other Mopars over the last 25 years I am asking you to please build the Challenger. For me the current Charger was a bit of a disappointment because it is a 4 door. I also own an '02 Firebird as a daily driver and have been looking at the new Mustang to replace it. If I need a 4 door I will drive my Durango but I prefer a performance coupe for most of my driving. If you build it, I will buy one.

BUILD THE CHALLENGER WITH THE 392 AND 6 SPEED
Comments:

I just bought the Charger SRT8 and I will buy the Challenger if you
build it
with a 392 and true 6 speed!

[Tedman5]

Done.

[HEMI x 2]

Judging from the personal response I received and others on the forum it does appear a real person is reading the request and is sincere in acknowledging them. Someone at DC is saying "OMG, we have not even debuted the car and we are getting request to build it". Just think what might happen when it officially debuts. I know people over on the MML (Mopar Mailing List) are organising a get together time at Detroit to show interest in the Challenger as a group.

I belong to a Mustang forum also and for the most part it is getting a favorable mention there. Yes there are some "Ford only" guys that are taking shots but the people who like nice cars no matter who makes them love it also. Some have even mention trading in their Mustang for one. There are some "Mopar" people over there that have Mustangs because Chrysler has completely ignored this market. Hell I owned a Firebird because they did not make a comparable product.

[MagnumFreak]

Got a really nice response from DC also. Very polite and not a form letter which was a pleasant surprise. I would post it but I am at home now and it was sent to my work email. Man! I am getting all tingly inside thinking about having a car like this.

[Cam]

Done.

[Hemi31]

On its way.

[roaringmouse]

I added my vote.

[Drew's RT]

Just sent my email...

[RandomAccess]

Just sent my email...

I keep checking my driveway for the challenger... but nothing yet :(

[amcrebelmachine]

ok done.

[Mosie]

Done... Gladly!

[diamondrmp]

DONE!

On a side note. I pick my Magnum up today (Wednesday) from the body shop. WOOHOO!!!

[mrg]

I saw my duty and I did it.

[charliec]

I'm in. Count me in for an SRT8 in the loudest color you have. Price not important.

[Johnman]

I done did it. I've never been so pumped about a (possible) upcoming production car in my life. I still remember being bummed out 31 years ago the day I read that Dodge Challenger/Plymouth Barracuda production was being halted in the middle of the 1974 model year. It's been a very long wait, but the new retro Mustang came out in 2005, and history may be repeating itself as we see a new Challenger and a new Camaro emerge to compete with it. The muscle car wars are already back, with the GTO vs the Charger/300C/Magnum-now maybe the pony car wars are back as well!

[Ted@AllUSA]

Email sent.
I am so glad I have held out, had I not heard that a 2 door was in planning stages, the Daytona Charger would have been in my garage now. The only kicker to this, I have to drive my damn Chevy until this is released. Ironic, I sell Mopar parts, and drive a Chevy. The only reason, no Mopars have lit a fire under my ass like this Challenger does. I was about to settle with the Daytona Charger, but now I will save a few penny's and play the waiting game.

[Silver RT AWD]

Done. I may turn loose of my '87 GN (currently only 15,000 miles) for a new Challenger, Moby Grape, stick.

[sugar-tj]

done!

[grinner]

done, man.

[magpearlmag]

Sincerely done...

[Meister]

Done. With a strong plug for the 392 as a super srt8 option.

[bipto]

So they'd have an R/T, an SRT, and an SSRT... Cool thought, Meister... :cool:

I'll post this campaign on newcharger.org for those who haven't found lxforums.com yet (yeah right)..... the more places the better!

[jhrody]

Now before you start flaming me about how ineffective this will be - I don't want to hear any of that negativity!

A little begging never hurt... :wink:

Thanks, bipto.

Yet another shameless demand for a Super SRT8 launched their way. :wink:

[TurboAWD]

done

I sent them a message letting them know I would love to buy one, if they don't screw it up like they did to the Charger!!

Again, and again, and again...

[Metallic]

Done. I said that this car will sell like they wanted the Charger to, but they better do it ASAP and beat the Camaro to the streets!

I just got done posting almost the same point on another forum.....Chrsyler's LX cars being 4 door large capacity cars weighing 4000+ pounds is one thing, but the challenger should be on par with the Shelby Mustang and possible future Camaro with regards to weight. It's a 2 door pony car it afterall. I know the 6.1 is underrated but still they'll have to put the 392ci hemi in it to keep up.

They'll be doing good to save 3 or 4 hundred pounds without going exotic on materials.

Thus our baby will still be a heavyweight.

If they can shave 300-400 pounds and get it around 3600-3700lbs that would be acceptible in my eyes to compete with SVT Mustang or Camaro.
