Dodge Challenge Cars

[Kinson]

From the contest description:

Join us in our first Dodge High Speed Challenge weekend! Players can log into Defiance and speed into a new Paradise daily contract and race against the clock in return for access to the Paradise Faction. Once a player has acquired access, there will be a new Paradise merchant that will sell multiple colors of the exclusive Dodge Challenger that will include modified stats.

I am looking at the three available at the Paradise vendor and I don't see any modified stats.

The stats are identical to the black version you get from the racing pursuits, and slightly slower than the preorder version.

Am I missing something?

I'll indulge in the new skins anyway but was hoping that modified stats maybe meant higher top speed, more boost, higher durability, or something along those lines. I guess I assumed to much by the passage highlighted above.

You must be playing the Defiance demo. The official game isn't out yet. =0)

Where is the new vendor? Do you really have to place gold to even access it?

Edit: thanks for the post on where it is.

The Racing Pro vendor appears to be at every major hub. However, the point still stands that I see no real modified stats!

I also wondered whether the "modified stats" comment would mean some sort of "High Performance" variant of the Dodge, but it looks like they're exactly the same as the ones I already own from normal vendor sales.

The Red Dodge from the pre-order is still the fastest vehicle in the game (and that's fine, they advertised it as such with the caveat that it may not be any longer at some point in the future, but I think people were probably expecting that benefit to remain intact for at least a few months). I thought maybe they'd get creative and make one of the Dodges have a higher health pool, another do the most damage, etc.

They are exactly the same as the specials you could already get,no stat difference.Also you don't need to do the contract to open the vendor (wife only got bronze and still bought the 2 she didn't have).

[Haffoc]

I wouldn't bother, they're just the Challengers that were once random vendor specials, now you need faction rep of 100 for each colour. The stats appear to be the same as the Orange Hemi you can get from one of the spawned vendors.

This was a rather pointless change, the whole purpose of which appears to be to force people to grind rep.

I dont mind rep grind, IF only the goals would "reset" quicker.
