I was a teen-20's in Metro-Detroit, and attended the street-races where all the hitters attended. All the old guys around metro-Detroit had never heard of that car, till Stellantis started the legend circulating. I don't think a 3800lb., stock, hemi-Challenger would have been anything to worry about. Well built small-block cars of the time would have had it's ass. I have respect for a veteran and LE officer, but when he died....the BS started.
