Default New car to the stable!

I have been eyeing the challengers ever since they came out, and just so happened to stumble across a Green with Envy Hennessey HPE 650 392 SRT-8 Challenger. This is #9 of 50 I believe. I picked it up on Saturday and drove it home in the pouring rain. It's still nasty, but I did manage to grab a couple pics. It is an automatic, which is fine with me, since my vette is a manual. The wife can drive it, so she loves it! Here is a link of the car from Hennessey.

That's one fine looking Challenger and I'd bet it runs well too. Congrats.

Nice Challenger. I've always liked that Green With Envy color and you don't see them very often. Enjoy!
