    I don't know for sure but I think a lot may be the culture that we are in now and when you take the fact that some of the more popular U-tubers are trending away from the challengers and going to other brands of cars like the mustangs because they want to increase there ad revenue then that only makes things worse for helping to keep the interest but who knows, its probably a number of things.

    Quite possible but this next generation had different priorites and more interested in other kinds of vehicles like EV or environmentalist drivers. Times are a changin as that EV agenda is being pushed forward.

    A great deal of the excitement over the 2008 Challenger came from baby-boomers who owned Challengers in the 1970s.

    Watch this video (at the 14:23 minute mark) where classic Challenger owners were interviewed at a car show.

    The Challenger Talk Forum is pretty busy.

    That site has been around much longer- around 15 years. Since inception it has had 70,600 registered members. Our site is growing but has 4,023 members. Bigger isn't always better.

    Accurate sources of information are good.

    While I have never interacted with you, I come here because it is nice site, not too big like one of the mega sites that owns multiple forums.

    If you keep free speech, I will always come to this site.

    I check new posts every day and if I have something to add, I do. If not I just read them. I joined mostly to gain knowledge about my new vehicle having never owned one prior.

    The problem I find is that someone asks a question or for advice, as Synoptic12 says, the answers are often sarcastic towards the OP. I also find that unless you have a heavily modified Challenger, or are looking to modify it, you are not considered on the same level as others that have.

    I bought this as a retirement (some say mid-life crisis) car, I have no interest in modifying it other than small cosmetic stuff. I am simply interested in communicating with others that feel the same way and that seems difficult in any of these types for forums, not just this one. I'm even somewhat hesitant to post this.
