Majorette is really opening doors with their Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat! From the Realistic Headlights to the Taillights & Silver Dodge Lettering on the rear this Series 1 Challenger is a force to be reckoned with. Opening Doors!! Opening Doors!! I had to say it at least once for each door. This and the striped version have been making my day since I received them.

Let me start right off with those opening doors with side mirrors. I have about 800 Challengers about 3” long. Not counting Customs, Reproductions, Color Variants, and Duplicates only a handful are equipped with side mirrors. Even fewer have opening doors. I may have to go check about 800 Challengers real quick – but I am pretty sure that none of the others have opening doors with side mirrors. That makes this Challenger extremely unique in my collection. The doors don’t just open either. The hinges are solid and heavy duty and make opening and closing them a joy. The silver trim on the inside of the doorframe is a very nice detail and frames the door perfectly.

Those who ‘test drive’ their die cast with a quick pushdown test of the shocks will not be disappointed here! It may not seem like a big deal but on a Driftpad or Hot Wheels track you can see they work like the real thing. This car performs just as well on the track as it does at a car show. Majorette raises the bar high with this release!

It is with great pleasure to bring you the latest Challenger of the Day story.

We bought a 2015 Dodge Challenger Shaker in June 2015. In July 2016 my husband took his truck in for hail damage repair to the Dodge dealership where we purchase our cars and he saw this purple Challenger SRT that caught his eye. He came home and made the mistake of showing me the pictures and the price of this car. The next day I went out and test drove it. I couldn't get the car out of my mind after the test drive and I said I have to have this car so I took it in to a mechanic for inspection, it passed with flying colors and got all A pluses and I bought my own Challenger to accompany our other Challenger. We now have the best looking garage in our neighborhood.

This next Challenger story is one that has been 30 years in the making. I hope you all enjoy this next story by Dave Lawrence and his dream that took 30 years to become a reality...

In the early 1980s I chased a Hemi Orange 1970 Challenger T/A. For years I tried to purchase it, but it never happened. I had other rare Mopars throughout the years including a 440-6 Superbird and my 1970 Cuda 440 (highly optioned). So in 2013 I decided to purchase a modern Challenger. I knew what I wanted, in fact I bought the T/A hood before I found the car. I found a 2009 R/T Inferno Red Pearl stripe delete plain looking but that color. 3 days after purchasing the car with 14 thousand miles on it I tore it apart. I had Jon Bond Performance rebuild a Techco Twin Screw Supercharger. I polished the intake tube the drive snout and front cover and had the runners powder coated candy apple red pearl. I purchased a Saleen Hi Downforce rear spoiler and painted it, the T/A hood and front fascia satin black. The reproduction T/A stripes in my opinion didn't match the new body style so I had custom stripes made with custom fender call outs that say Blown Hemi. So 30 years in the making I introduce to you my modern T/A Challenger

You meet all kinds of people when you drive a Dodge Challenger and sometimes, usually, they get seriously excited. They want to talk to you, and they want to know all about your car and about you. Sometimes that enthusiastic Challenger fanatic is Me!

I was just minding my own business with two go pros and external stereo microphones attached to my car when I ran into Collin. I saw his Scat Pack parked next to mine and immediately started taking pictures. Like in a movie scene, he walks over and, starts it up with the remote start. It sounded so cool!

We talked Challengers and all cars for about 15 minutes and then we went our separate ways. Well kind of! Had a lot of fun in a few minutes following him and then had to figure out where I was. Too much fun can be disorienting! Check out what Collin has to say about his Challenger and see his photos, my photos, and the video of our ride too!!

“I love the challenger since its close to the old school body style of the late 60s. My favorite car is the charger 68-69 style. The new challenger is pretty close to looking like a smaller modern-day version of what the charger should have been. At least to me it does. I put in the MBRP racing cat back exhaust to make it sound more old school. At some point I'll replace the cats with a straight to clear up the air flow through the exhaust and improve the sound some more."

There is nothing mild mannered about the Superman SRT!

Scott Sonsalla’s 2012 Dodge Challenger is one powerful car. More powerful than a locomotive and faster than a speeding bullet too! Superman graphics and logos all around, with red LED’s and claw marks, really make this beast stand out. Let’s hear a few words from Scott:

“I am a car enthusiast. I have a great family and they are my priority in life. I do as much as I can myself with my car and my boys drive Mopars as well. We do a lot together between cleaning and working on our cars. It has been a great way to spend more time together.

Since I bought my car, my boys got me involved with Instagram and car shows. I have met so many people from all over. I’m always myself, really easy going, and really enjoy meeting new people. Car shows and social media have helped me meet people from around the world with similar interests. I hope others can have as nice of an experience doing things like I have!”

With almost eighty thousand followers on Instagram Scott is a real superhero. His Iconic photos and edits along with his Positive attitude are the special sauce for his success. There are very few people I know on social media who post relentlessly every day like I do. I like to think that people are waking up smiling looking at my photos or the photos I've shared. The truth is I wake up looking at Scott's Challenger every day and it always makes me smile!

WOW! Marc Miller drove this Challenger across the finish line at Circuit of The Americas and into the record books as the 2019 Trans Am TA2 Champion!

It was extremely exciting to interview Marc and his responses are a look inside the mind of a Professional Race Driver. He is a True Champion and not just on the track either! His motivation comes from all aspects of his life and his winning attitude is awe inspiring.

The PREFIX #40 Stevens-Miller Racing Dodge Challenger marks the 40 year anniversary for a company deeply involved with Trans Am Racing. The PREFIX 392 Hemi Engine enhances the power curve and dominates the competition. The graphics package and rear wing combine to make this the most recognizable Dodge Challenger on the track. PREFIX also built a street legal version making it the most recognizable Challenger on the street too! Watching the Stevens-Miller Team take this Challenger to the Top was a great ride from the spectator seats. Don’t take my word for it though. Listen to what Marc has to say!

COTD: You have motivated a lot of fans, like myself, through 2019 with your enthusiasm and success as well as your reaction to bumps in the road.
