    So...this is an epidemic...
    Most of the Defiance community confuses these two cars...I've placed pictures with the cars to show what the Defiance community calls them. They are obviously mixed up.

    Challenger

    Charger

    Do people really not know cars? Especially since CHALLENGER is ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL over the game. During the live stream, folks were calling the Challenger the Charger..........when the people during it were even calling it the Challenger.

    I'm a Mopar guy, have been my whole life and I will be until the day I day. I just have no idea how someone can confuse the two....not a single idea.

    LOL. I almost lost it at the Jackie Chan picture. I still plan to buy a Silver Challenger for the exclusive purpose of acting like it's a Delorean blazing across rough Paradise terrain over 88 MPH screaming "WHERE EVER I'M GOING I DON'T NEED NO GOD DAMN ROADS" though.

    it might have something to do with the older models looking so similar, a lot of people dont differentiate between them. i remember getting into an argument with an old boss over what type of dodge they were using in the movie bullett (i think it was the challenger but cant rememeber now). and the charger is the more famous and more well known of the two so people automatically think of it first.

    If you mean the black car from the chase scene, then yes...that is a 1968 Charger. As the taillights were changed from the circular ones the following year.

    yep thats the one. considering you are a mopar guy have you ever seen an aussie valiant charger

    the better models (or the race homiligation models) were straight 6 hemi's with triple webbers. you could option a 318 i think. and they are smaller then the american ones.

    Lord for some reason I thought you called the first call the Challenger and the second one the Charger... thank god I reread it before I flamed on but yea I think I'm the only one of my friends that could tell you the difference between the two without seeing the name. pretty sad if you ask me.

    How is that sad? Some people just aren't into cars. Could you tell me the difference between various weapons(Firearms/Knives) and their uses on spot if you had too?

    Yes, I'm glad you reread it, LOL. Yes, it's amazingly sad to be honest.

    As for DMC, yes I have. I'm a big fan of Aussie cars...and Aussie women, lol. Especially Holdens. But yeah, you guys have some sick models/variants. Definitely some impressive cars.

    maybe, but we missed out on all the big block engined car. (except old ford galaxies). one of the aussie built falcons has a big block from factory (only one ever made) but that was for the american who was running ford australia at the time. its still around apparently.

    It annoys me that people always assume Bruce Wayne is the only Batman, and **** Greyson is the only Robin. There have in fact been several people who wore the Batman-costume and Robin-costume, including **** Greyson himself as Batman (after Bane broke Bruce Wayne's back) and Damian Wayne as Robin. Do people really not know superheroes? Oh, wait. This is the Defiance-forum, so why should they? ;)

    Edit: Oh, dear... the profanity-filter strikes again. I can't spell D. Greyson's first name. Geez... It's a name!

    I see what you mean, not a whole lot of people know that. Mainly takes a bit of reading to know that. But the fact of the matter is, it says CHALLENGER all in the game. In the vehicle equip screen especially. That's my point.

    It's rather refreshing to know wasn't the only person who had parents loving enough to acquaint them with BTTF as children.

    Now if only I could find the damn vendor that sells that damn Challenger...

    I'm also going to buy a white one which will be my Mach 5. Just need to find someone to dress up as Racer X and punch my ark hunter in the face when he finds out his true identity. The black one will of course be my Batmobile.

    I wonder if on the PC version, they will let us make our own Challenger skins...I don't have the PC version, but if I did I would totally have my challenger look like THIS:

    I know, right? The only thing it's missing is sirens on top! I'd love to drive that thing around in the game and if they ever came out with a Halloween themed DLC for the game, it would really fit right in! Like if they had some ghostly hellbugs or something, I'd just smash them with that car and say "I came, I saw, I KICKED IT'S ***!"

    This pic reminds me of my funeral. I've told my wife countless times that I don't care what you do to my body (buried/cremated/whatever) or what even goes on at the funeral. My only request is that Ecto 1 is my hearse and that the funeral procession travels at top speed with the sirens blaring.

    HAHAHA, I told my buddy the same thing, except I would use it as an excuse to not do missions with people by saying, "Sorry, can't help... I have to go back... TO THE FUTURE!"
