Third childhood, so bought myself a white '12 R/T with the 6-speed. I am stunned at how well this relatively big car handles. And since the other car in the garage is a mostly white '69 Charger R/T clone, it looks cool as hell with the garage door up. And yes, if you shot a modern remake of Vanishing Point--this all-white Challenger would be the car. It's what drove me to buying it. Hate the 20" wheels, I'm downgrading to 18s since I need the sidewall cushion. So I'll be posting questions about any TPMS sensor issues, stuff like that.
yes, the stock RT does come with 18's but you will definitely feel it in the ride downsizing. but if that is what you want, go for it, BTW Bob Fredericks dealership had a 10 car Kowalski Edition, a friend of mine has the first one.
I'll still own the 20s for when I feel the urge for kickass handling. The roads here are beyond awful--my previous car suffered a bent rim from a pothole--so the 18s' taller sidewall is what the doctor ordered.
Welcome......Nice ride and you will not regret it. If you are a Kowalski fan as I am then check out Nick's Garage on YouTube. He has recently restored a '70 White R/T 440 Magnum 4 speed Challenger....a dead ringer of the original. Also, Mark Worman of Graveyard Carz is supposed to have restored several '70 Challengers as Kowalski tribute cars. He has not talked about the project in a while and I do not know how it is progressing.
OK, I'll click Nick's Garage. I'm much more of a 2nd gen Charger fan--given how long I've owned my '69 (decades) and how the 2nd gens constantly show up in movies, TV shows and commercials, it tickles the crap out of me. Opening day for F&F9, I'm there. Time for new wheels, so I couldn't resist going all Vanishing Point Challenger for the car. I really wanted 18" Rallye wheels, but the ones from Year One stop at 17". There's a billet 18" version, but it's a cold day in Hell before I pay $600 per wheel. Can't help wondering if the reason those cars were called "Kowalski edition" instead of "Vanishing Point edition", so Dodge wouldn't have to pay royalties to Twentieth Century Fox.
