Interesting Challenger/Shelby encounter this morning
I was traveling back roads on my way into the office this morning.
Coming though the Kettleby area at about 8a.m (where we cruised with the GTA group last year) .
I spotted a new black on black Dodge Challenger travelling in the opposite direction.....
As it passes, I'm rubbernecking to see as much of it as possible when I spot a white Shelby coming up from behind the Challenger.
Before I can take it all in...... what do I see but another B on B Challenger behind the Shellby
The next thing I see is a train of 5 or 6 F150s following along behind.
I figure this is waaaay too much to be a coincidence.
I'm sure what I stumbled upon is Ford doing a shakedown run of the Challenger.

Definitely would have been neat to give chase to see what was up

I think one of the reasons for the F150s was to keep followers at bay.

I was lucky enough to ride shotgun in my friend's black Challenger. What a monster. It had gobs of torque!

I'll likely bring my dSLR to work sometime in the next couple weeks and will shoot some pics of his ride. I was expecting the tires to be wider (245 20's?) and wished the fenders flared a bit more, but overall the car is quite a visible statement. Old style muscle with new school technology.
