It is with great pleasure to bring you the latest Challenger of the Day story, "Here Name Is Red Velvet." Please enjoy the COTD story written by Glenn Pitre Jr.

Her Name Is Red Velvet

Her Name Is Red Velvet

In the beginning of 2010 I was deployed to Iraq. My life turned upside down when my wife at the time decided to check out of our relationship. I remarried and had a few children. My new wife has seen my struggles to climb back to the top after being low.

In February 2017 we celebrated 6 years of marriage. In honor of all my hard work and dedication, she decided to surprise me with a trip to a local dealer, and what was sitting there.

This is the car I always dreamed of having no matter what trim. Redline red...R/T classic with 22,000 miles. Her name is red velvet. One because I love the cake, 2 because my license plate says ANT and it is the same color as the red velvet ant. People break their necks looking at her, and all I can do is thank my wife. I feel like they are seeing me when they look at this beautiful Challenger and all the success I've had after the nightmare I've experienced. Out of 650 colors built in this year, I have the only one in the surrounding cities. Veteran owned, veteran operated. Proud to be a dodge owner.

Black Beauty HellCat

I started with a pitch black 2011 Challenger RT with the 6 speed Tremec !!! I had it 3 weeks and traded it for a sparkle black 2011 SRT 8 Challenger auto 5 speed !!! I went to the SRT Experience at Daytona and fell in love ️ with track days and went to 1 track day at Daytona, 1 track day at Sebring, 4 track days at PBIR, and 4 track days at Homestead Motor Speedway !!! I bought a 2016 HellCat last summer in August. I was going to just get another SRT 8 or a Scat Pack but my friend Eddie insisted that I drive his pitch black Challenger HellCat and my Buddy Bill had me try his Charger HellCat !!! Both were Stupid Fast and I had to have the Challenger !!! It is the Ultimate Muscle Car and I am ecstatic with its performance !!! My friends ask me what I've done to it and I answer It needs nothing !!! It is the ultimate 2 door Family Car that goes 200 mph, does the quarter in 10.65 seconds with Mickey Thompson drag radials, and 0-60 in 3.5 sec !!! And I love the wine of the supercharger, the nostalgic look and the sound of the exhaust !!! I am very happy with my HellCat which is affectionately named #BlackBeautyHellCat!

Majorette Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat

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!
