Sublime Green Is The Right Colour For Your Dodge Challenger/Charger

The old Dodge favourite is back on the menu for the Challenger and Charger

01 Feb 2019

The Dodge Challenger and Charger really are getting on a bit, aren’t they? Successors are a long way off too, but increasingly, it seems that this doesn’t matter. Being shouty V8 anachronisms in today’s motoring world works for the pair, particularly when FCA is so good at making the most of its extensive back-catalogue.

Already available in a variety of colours inspired by Challengers and Chargers of the past (Plum Crazy is a particular favourite), the muscle cars can now be specced in Sublime green. It hasn’t been on the Challenger options menu since 2015, and it hasn’t been possible to colour a Charger like this since 2007.

It’s on a wider range of models this time, too. Sublime is an option on the Charger Scat Pack and SRT Hellcat derivatives for the first time ever, and it’s coming back to the Challenger T/A, which was last available with the paint in 1970.

Fancy your own slice of lurid green, V8 goodness? You’ll be able to order one from February.

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Reminds me of Ben 10 for some reason

Prolly cuz Kevin drove a green charger

I know a lot of people love muscle cars, but I simply can’t get behind them. The only modern muscle car/pony car that I like is the GT350 R. I simply don’t get the fascination with having a 6.2 litre V8 that only produces round about 310 kW e.g. I get that the sound is amazing. Technology has just advanced way further though. I can get the same horsepower from a smaller engine, that is cheaper and more economical. Especially when I can get a sub 3 litre turbocharged I4 that produces 298 kW. I’d much rather have that then a petrol guzzling V8, that is just way past its time. If you like muscle cars, fine. You can like whatever you want in a car, I just cant get behind the idea anymore.

How about the new GT500 what are your opinions

I love the automotive diversity and enjoy all different kinds of cars. Every car has it’s own charme.

Since I started watching Mighty Car Mods I understand the fascination about “little nuggets”. Before that I wasn’t that interested in this segment.

Its the sound, the power, the torque, the burnouts, the powerslides, the acceleration, the look, its simply everything. Ive been driving 2 liters and less all my life, you probably wouldnt understand.
I like muscle cars even more than JDM cars in some aspects. JDM cars are way more affordable tho ..

Yeah, but a small-displacement turbocharged I4 won’t have the same throttle response, are often tuned to have the power low down and are therefor gutless at high RPMs, and many have heat-soak issues.
