Check out this amazing Tribute Challenger and story by Glenn Merrill! Street Freaks is a modern muscle car with direct ties to the original Street Freaks Road Runner. Glenn's Street Freak Challenger started as a concept drawing before being turned into a reality. This award-winning show car is also well at home on the street and the strip.

“The whole inspiration for doing the Street Freak theme goes way back to the 70's. Street Freak graphics are a tribute to a 69 Road Runner I used to own and race years ago. The first car to carry the design was a 69 Road Runner that Jeff Scozarro did at his paint shop Jeff's Place in California. It was done as a project for the car magazines and was the 1st car to go solo on the cover of Hot Rod magazine.The car then traded owners for a bit and was left in Salt Lake City at a salvage yard since it had blown an engine. My boss at the time and his brother (Howard and Wayne Field) purchased the car, put an engine in it and raced it for 10 years. I graduated college and went to GM as a designer working in the Camaro Studio for interiors (Best job of my life). When I came back out to Utah, I traded my snowmobiles for the Street Freak Road Runner and raced it out of St. George for a few years. Because of family issues, the car was sold and last seen in California.

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!

Angelina Dimova knows her cars and she knows how to drive them all too. She likes to Drift and do donuts whenever possible, and her 2023 Hellcat Redeye Widebody is the perfect vehicle to make it happen. Angelina has been driving Dodge Challengers for years. There’s something about the love of a Challenger owner for their vehicle that is unparalleled in this world. It’s kind of like the love you feel for a beloved pet. You would starve to feed it (gas!). You make sure it has regular checkups at the doctor (oil change, filter, tire rotations!). You go to sleep after you make sure all its needs are taken care of and you wake up ready to take it for a long walk (drive!). It takes a special car and a special person to understand this kind of love. Angelina is this person, and her passion is infectious. It’s no wonder she has over five hundred thousand Instagram followers and almost a million TikTok followers!

What do you like most about your Challenger?

“I love the fact it's a muscle car, I've always had a love for muscle cars, that's why I'm called Mopar girl. The interior is so nice and fitting even for a big person, but I've got a small body frame - so more room for me. “
