2023 Challenger: Dodge unveils last super-fast, gas-powered muscle car

The Church of the Green New Deal will not kill the internal combustion engine car.

I have a 305 HP V6 2015 Dodge Challenger SXT Plus. It runs a very slow zero to 60 in 7 Seconds. It only has about 60,000 miles on it and I've gone through three car batteries in the last 8 years. 600 bucks total give or take. I'm sure I'll have it for at least eight more years.

Someone who buys a fully electric car today, will have to think of upgrading their car battery after 8 years and it could run you somewhere around 20 grand to replace it based on current estimates.

Remember the video on TV of the guy from Finland with the 2013 Tesla Model S who blew up his car with 55 lb of explosives after he found out it was going to cost him $22,000 to replace the battery.

For those of you who live in California, remember Governor Gavin Newsom warned you that you couldn't charge your vehicle during peak hours during the summer. How Foxtrot is that?

Electric cars are cool but the Biden and Progressive State Governments are again picking winners and losers is Un- American! We are not saving the earth while China builds a coal-fired power plant almost weekly and India is switching from Coal to Natural Gas. China lies saying it will be Net Zero by 2060 and India's Prime Minister just extended their Net Zero emissions until 2070. The Climate Emergency only applies to gullible Western Leftist Governments while the rest of the world is mostly business as usual.

For those of you who are science fiction aficionados,

Do you remember the Will Smith movie I Robot?

The year the robots were supposed to take over was 2035.

I believe 2035 is when Gavin Newsom and the California legislature want to ban the importation or production of new gasoline for diesel-powered Automobiles and trucks.

Remembering the dystopian future, the Mainframe shuts down all-electric cars and only Will Smith is able to race back into town with his classic Ducati motorcycle that runs on gasoline?

This movie that came out 20 years ago kind of reminds me of the dystopian future when electric cars will Sunday not work correctly because a virus will take over their software similar to how when the Mainframe computer wanted to take over with the robots and make humans worldwide their prisoners.

Just saying, in the meantime, I'm still keeping stock in my oil energy stocks.

My oil and energy stocks were up 25% until the latest financial crisis and down to about 5% when my text docs are in the toilet!


My Tesla stock is down probably because of retribution against Elon Musk going against the left and censorship. I have stock in Precious Metals and metals used in electric car production and they are not doing very well right now.

Unless the price of batteries can be lowered significantly, I feel that electric vehicles are going to be more of a novelty and not catching on because of their half-life of 8 years while a car with an internal combustion engine like diesel or gasoline can last a lot longer and not cost very much, especially if not driven that much like my particular 2015 Dodge Challenger.

This final era of the internal combustion engine muscle car lasted a lot longer than the 1962 to 1972 muscle car era.

Today's muscle cars are very fuel efficient compared to the past and they won't give you a headache every time you park it in the garage. I own a 1966 Mustang with an RV Cam and a 289 V8 and it is a night and day difference on how little emissions these new muscle cars have compared to 1960s muscle cars.
