Had a 1973 Challenger with a 318 painted Plum crazy in 1989.

Acquired a 1970 440+6, Lemon Twist, Super Track Pak, 4-Speed, Plymouth Roadrunner with the air grabber and dust trails in 1992. Kept for 30+ years.

Got a 1969 Slant 6 Dodge Dart Swinger (with working a/c) in 1996 (that I still have and dropping a 440 in it).

Sold the Roadrunner (enjoyed it long enough) and got a 2018 Camaro ZL1 convertible. Incredible car.

Just yesterday I traded in the ZL1 for a 2021 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye Widebody (Sinnamon Stick) with the carbon fiber stripes, factory hood pins and Warp Speed Wheels.
So a 73' Challenger to a 21' Challenger. Almost a 50 year span.

The Redeye is everything I hoped.
We baked the tires so bad on that first test drive it was ridiculous. So much smoke you couldn't even see behind us.
Car is insane. Just a stupid, drunken, catastrophic amount of power that is totally unjustifiable being on public roads for any rational purpose.

It's perfect.

Congrats and welcome. Nice car. Like said above giving up the road runner must have been tough. I let my triple black 440 69 road runner go a few years ago and I'm still sick.

I thought I'd never give up the rare Roadrunner I had. It was my forever car.
What changed my mind is when I drove a modern muscle car for the first time (by chance) on a vacation. It was a ZL1 and it was AMAZING! I could not believe how good it was. The car's trans was like it was wired to my brain. Shifting was instant and perfect. The power and the sound were beautiful. It changed me. Down to my soul. It was hard to believe they could make a car that good.

The old muscle, however undeniably beautiful, was like driving around a bucket of bolts in comparison.
I wasn't getting any younger and I needed this in my life. I was depressed without it.
So I made the decision to sell and got a deal on a ZL1. Loved the car, but I've always been a Mopar guy, and I just couldn't stomach going to Camaro shows, so it was hard for me to enjoy the social aspect of the car hobby.

As luck would have it just then, the price of cars exploded. I got $10k more than I paid for the ZL1 and jumped into the Redeye (which is a one of one I just found out). So I'm back home with my Mopar dudes, I can enjoy car shows again and the Redeye is so good I don't even miss the Roadrunner (the new owners do keep in touch with me though! :) .
