SEMA ‘08: Home of the Challenger

By Mike Musto

AKA Mr. Angry

One car that there is no shortage of at SEMA is the new Dodge Challenger. Without exaggeration, there are no less 40 of them here, each with different modifications. There are widebody Challengers, lowered Challengers, blown Challengers and race replica Challengers. Execution is the key with this car, and there is a very fine line between great and gaudy. Most of the customizers have done a great job, however there are those select few that have missed the boat entirely. One thing for sure the custom car community seems to think the Challenger is second coming of Christ, so with that being said hopefully Dodge will sell enough of them to keep Chrysler from going down the crapper. More pics after the jump.

Black on black – looks like someone is cribbing from the Mr. Angry playbook!

Damn I miss Plymouth. Why didn’t I buy the ‘74 Cuda….

The only one I’m not too nuts about is the black one with the apparently-luminescent yellow stripes. I love the Sam Posey tribute car and the ‘71 ‘Cuda grille treatment is sweet.

So many Challengers, but i thought the Camaro was to be the “official” car of SEMA!

This car has been so over exposed in the automotive press that even these tricked out versions just dont do it for me anymore. Its just not that much to look at.

This years SEMA may be the actual moment where “retro” jumps the shark.
