    Im againt the Dodge Challenge

    This is not a complaint, or a rant. Just an opinion

    I'm against it because of the prize. I thought those Challengers were supposed to be rare, to get you to check the Vendors whenever possible. What's the point when your make it so everyone can get it for getting gold on an easy race? I think they should have released a new Challenger just for the contest, and kept the other ones rare. Like a yellow one, or one with flames on it or some ****?

    Just like Whos line is it anyways, the Stats don't matter! If those cars were considered rare, then thats laughable, the colors are horrible and the "modified stats" are not really modified in any way.

    Dude, the challenge requires a gold and will only happen every few weeks. Given the sheer number of shops in the game it would be faster to check specials religiously than wait for the next one. Also, anyone that happened to not play this specific weekend or happened to be skimping on Paradise contracts will have to wait or get them as a special. This doesn't increase how common they are by all that much.

    Orange Charger with confederate flag roof decal would be nice

    In fairness, the challenge isn't *that* easy, unless you really get lucky and get no emergencies on the road. At Runners 15 I could blitz a gold on any race 1st time, at Rollers 14 it took me a good 6 tries to get this.

    As far as I can tell, it's not even a reward for the challenge. All you need is 100 faction points with Paradise, which you can get by completing any Paradise contract, including beating Explosions 101 once a day.

    And I have to agree, I'd have preferred that Trion kept the rare vehicles rare. I love my purple duni because its rare and (in my opinion) better overall than the challenger. Maybe they should instead have offered green, blue, and other paintjobs instead?

    On the plus side, because the new race fills a renewing contract, it does allow people to farm faction points by doing a race. Honestly, once I got the black challenger, I haven't done a race since, until this one.

    I see where your coming from; but on an entirely unrelated issue; your avatar brings me so much joy.

    Are you suggesting that checking for random vendor specials was somehow a greater test of skill?

    Did I ever say that? How many Plum Challengers have you seen before? Now, make an assumption of how many you'll see on Monday.
