How often do you drive your Charger?

[John_Kunkel]

The roar, the rumble, the burble at idle.....nothing new compares to this stuff.

Opinions vary.

Meh.... sounds like every other HellCat out there. Not impressed.

I would trade my 68 Charger in a heartbeat for a Ferrari V12, the older the better!!

I'll admit that there are some modern engines that do sound nice.
That is fine if you want them. I'm sticking with something that I'd have a chance at repairing should it need it!

Haven't driven mine since last year.

As often as possible, but not in winter LOL

[Kern Dog]

Well in Canada, you'd really have to be hardcore to drive a valuable classic in sub zero weather.

First drive for 2026! Got some gas and went to the post office and a spin on the highway to see how things are since putting it away last year. Fired right up and ran great, may have had some sideways situations trying to get traction with dusty cold tires 


I need to spend some time looking at either the shifter linkage or the clutch fork area as ever since I had my 18yr old drive it last year in a parking lot, it is not going into the gears smoothly anymore, have to almost give  it some revs to drop it in gear.  I forgot about this issue last year, oh well, the joys of toy cars. Other than that, got it up to temp, no strange noises, battery charging, pressure good. Now I just need to give it its yearly wash and I am good to go

  Good luck, keep us posted. My daughter, grandson and I put about 60 miles on our 70 last month. With my new LED headlights and soon to install 150amp alt. I'm gonna do some nighttime runs to test the mods.

If I'm at home and the weather is nice...

Nobody is guaranteed another year. Go out and enjoy yourself today.

They do.  Had a Hellcat and in the end didn't care about it at all.  Then built my old iron headed 426 to run the same as a Redeye naturally aspirated and absolutely love it.

So that's my opinion.

Don't blame you one bit. I think I saw at least 3 Hell Cats just this week, reminds me of the 5.0 Mustangs of the 80's that were everywhere and the owners thought that they were the best things ever. My Charger would get smoked by a Hell Cat, but don't really care.

My reply related only to the sound. Comparing old muscle to new muscle is an apples/oranges comparison...they're entirely different beasts.

Hi Kern,        29 Apr 2026

Another year? Another day, week, etc. The only thing we are guaranteed is that one day we are not going to wake up; hopefully, many moons out.

As Kern said: "Go out and enjoy yourself today."

Giving it a go!!!

A modified car but still unmistakable.

I'm sympathetic to his comments about the heat-sink issues.
