I used to love the videos he made of him wearing a helmet while Ubering people around in his 1000hp Charger,

I thought the Challenger was cool when it came out in 2008. I don't care how much hp it has, just looks like a box on wheels at this point.

Kinda reminds me of one time the government got involved in making cars (the 70s)..then crushing cars (Cash for Clunkers)... At least it creates opportunities for collectors who can blow $50k over MSRP.

Not wrong, but at least Kuniski knows the definition of weight transfer and understands that slicks and skinnies is a drag racing tire setup.

Good for MOPAR/Stellantis/Dodge/SRT making huge margins off a box they copied in '08 from a design from 1969. Porsche kinda built a brand around similar thinking...

I can’t remember manufacturers in the past shutting down production of a car that sells. But this is a new world.

Good point, and although I haven't been a MoPar kind of guy, I sure did like the 1970 Challengers and 'Cudas..............
