Nice shots.

A few things surprise me:

1) The vette looks small, doesn't it?
2) I like the side graphics on the Challenger, very american, very mopar circa 1970
3) Please tell me that the Benz is suffering from lens distortion in the picture and it's not really jacked up in the rear like a trailer park 1975 Nova..

Nice lineup, and great pics. The Challenger looks huge compared to the Vette, but it pretty much is.

Just to clarify again...yes the first pic is altered so as to stretch the sides and compress the center. That's why the Vette looks so small (especially compared to the Challenger), and the Benz on the right looks like its from the trailer park

[QUOTE=victoryredFTW;1591449194]I was just cruising with a few of my friends and we took some pictures. Of course, I'm the red C7. Enjoy!


Hard to believe looking at these that the Challenger is 1000 lbs heavier than the C7---very good example of way more engineering that went into the Corvette

That's also why I voted against the M4. The specs led me to wonder where the BMW engineering went.

The challenger is way too heavy. You have to wonder who buys one over the Camaro or Mustang.. I love the 1970 'Cuda and Challenger, I would buy a challenger if it was inline with the 1970, 1971 version. It's supposed to be a pony car for godsakes. The Hellcat weighs in at 4500 pounds and an auto stingray will beat it in the quater mile with 60% of the power.

I have a Scat Pack and Shaker Challengers along with my C7. I know the Challengers are big cars but seeing them next to each other like that is surprising, even for me.

The Charger needs to go on a diet but I should talk.
