Jun 8 2009Stealth Dodge Challenger Built By Air Force

air force challenger 1.jpg

Want to join the Air Force? Look at the picture above. How about now? Still no? Well damn, the Air Force is gonna be pissed -- this was supposed to be a powerful recruitment tool.

The Challenger Vapor features radar-absorbing stealth-black paint, not unlike what is used to mask stealth bombers. The Vapor is set to run almost silently, thanks to "stealth exhaust" - whatever that means. Reminds us of when KITT used to go "Silent Mode" on Knight Rider. You need biometric verification to enter the cockpit via gull wing doors. The driver can view night/thermal vision projections on the windshield while sitting in a compartment that looks like something out of Crimson Tide.

Listen, Air Force, I'm not one to tell somebody how to do their job, but if you want new recruits, you're going about it all wrong. Two words: Free jetpacks. You think about it.

UPDATE: Looks like they also made a Mustang with a jet-like cockpit. Added pics after jump.

Hit the jump for a couple more shots and a short video of the thing.

Poppin Or Floppin: X-1 Mustang Concept (W/ Jet Cockpit) [realtalkny]

Thanks to Watch-303, who once drove a real jet on the highway and got pulled over. But when the cop was writing the ticket he kicked on the afterburners and burnt up the police car. And to Chuck Nunchuck, who caught the whole thing on cellphone camera.

Que high tech.

This radio station is named Kowalski, in honor of the last true American hero, for whom speed means freedom of the soul.

FAIL!!! no KIT like front red light thingy moving from side to side...Dont want...

WHERE DO I SIGN, WHERE DO I SIGN?!?!?!?!?!?

It looks like a PS3 strapped to a dodge charger.
You could do it yourself....http://http://www.dodge.com/en/2009/challenger/
and get a FREE ps3: http://mikesfreestuffblog.blogspot.com

The question is not when will he stop, but who is gonna stop him.

it would have to have 100% undetion in order to justify being that butt ugly

...like "plow-through-the-world-cup-soccer-championship-and-kill-everyone-on the-field-and-the-entire-audience-being-completely-unaware- of its presence-on-the-field-while-it-does-donuts-in-the-middle-of-the-field-and-tv-replay-shows-nothing" kind of stealth

@3 - Id would be badass if they put the red sensor thing on it. Still overall I'd take it.

My question is... Just how much of my tax money got burned on this ridiculous idea? Whatever my share is, I want it back.

And there goes the Challenger, being chased by the blue, blue meanies on wheels. The vicious traffic squad cars are after our lone driver, the last American hero, the electric centaur, the, the demi-god, the super driver of the golden west.

Two nasty Nazi cars are close behind the beautiful lone driver. The police numbers are gettin' closer, closer, closer to our soul hero, in his soul mobile, yeah baby! They about to strike. They gonna get him. Smash him. Rape... the last… beautiful… free soul on this planet.

Seriously? It looks like a peice of shit.

Check out another Air Force pimped out ride. (Mustang)

http://realtalkny.uproxx.com/2009/06/topic/topic/pictures/poppin-or-floppin-x-1-mustang-concept-w-jet-cockpit/

think daisy might be right on this one.

@11, yes it does - looks like a 13-year-old's first wet dream.

@12 the mustang looks infinately better than this turd

@7 ...what the hell are you talking about

Does it fly? 'Cause if it doesn't............why in the hell is the AIR Force making it?

Next thing you know they'll be making subs........

LEAVE THAT TO QUIZNOS, Air FARCE!!!

That video was so short, I didn't even see it! wow!

Wow, what a waste of time...
if you new just home much that stealth paint weighs... you would realize that this creation would just as slow, and unwieldy as a "Dodge Challenger"

And we wonder why the U.S. auto industry is in shambles?! It's because they're making crap like this!

FIRST!

yes, but will it beat a radar/laser gun ?

Pretty badass, just too bulky & blocky.

Just right for a Mad max future !

Seems kinda cool I guess but where the hell are you going to store the groceries. Also, no room for a childs seat, AND NO ARMRESTS! WTF!

Figures, they build this god awful monstrosity on equally shitty mechanical beast built by Doge. If you were going to do something cool, at least start with something decent.
Of course, the whole thing is redundant, the Air Force requiting drive is going about as well as Chrysler's chances of surviving another year ;-)
Although, in Chrysler's defense, they probably run a better operation than the clowns in the military.

Wasn't there already a Dodge Stealth? (yes)

Does anything about the lines of this car remind you of the lines of a stealth aircraft? (no) This thing would shine like a beacon.

The white one looks... uncomfortable. Wonder if the ejection seat works. That would be useful.
"Looks like traffic's backed up on The 5. You might want to punch out at your first opportunity." pshooom!

Total phail. The Batmobile is way cooler.

Whoa, that looks awesome!

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max used a laser to ignite match heads over a pool of gasoline causing a fireball which he captured on video.

My question is... Just how much of my tax money got burned on this ridiculous idea? Whatever my share is, I want it back.

You already wasted your refund in pixels used in your post.

Cool car but all I'm moved to do is to buy or build my own, not join the air force??

Yeahh, Chuck Norris's Car !!!!


http://efooo.mybrute.com , ADDICTIVE GAME!!!

@ 30 - and now you are wasting my time with nonsensical responses to my post. I don't have a clue as to what the hell you are trying to say. I don't know if that is some kind of put down or you are making some kind of comment about how my tax dollars are an infinitely small portion of government pot or, are you retarded? I hate myself for actually writing all of that.

that pile of steaming shit was built by galpin auto sports. its probably gonna come apart at any highway speed. check out jon sibal's blog on the whole thing. link below.

Sure, it's nice and all. But does it have PewPewPew?

Trust me, this isnt fake as daisy claims. On the official site, theres 3 vids that show how they built these cars.

sweett i'm so glad i helped pay for this with my tax dollas! what a waste..

Yeah tax payer money!!!!

Our tax dollars hard at work.

Who could have ever expected this from Dodge? Pretty cool looking!

I was gona join the airforce but i got rejected for stealing a dinosaur at 13 so missed out on this car ;_;

http://std-aids.mybrute.com

Looks like the ultimate Amish ride to me.

IT'S FAKE.. it's CG (computer graphic) you can see in one picture the sky from one windshield, and in the other is all blank (someone forgot to put the sky background xD) it's also obvius that the army don't put they "secret wepons" on youtube and internet to make the terrorist update to the latest news, and i know a lot of terrorists read geekologie right mohammad??

Pretty nice cars, but I like the White mustang more.

Are both steering wheels on the dodge functional?

It will be wicked for a student driver to learn how to drive in the dodge.

@ 43: are you stupid or retarded? how can that be CG?, of course it's blank in the other screen because that screen is not looking at the sky, either that or it's not actually a screen

thats not made by the air force, its some private custom car company that made those... I've seen it at a auto show, can't remember the retarded company's name but it looks hideous in person either way.


Must See!!!

I LOVE AMERICA!!! This is awesome.

Love use of the tax payers dollars.

Seriously... I agree, I want the tax dollars back for this ridiculous machine... Need soldiers? Institute a draft... simple as that. Stop wasting my money to try to lure stupid people into the military.

Gotta go change pants...

no wonder my taxes went up. . . . .

No joke, I was close enought to touch the steering joystick of the mustang a few weeks ago at an airshow...incredible car! You really need to see these things up-close!!!

Ugly, the AF should stick to planes and kicking ass.

so the military has money to piss away on this, yet there is an equipment shortage for US ground troops in iraq? this is why i don't pay taxes.

Regardless of what yoll say am luvin' it, it's sexy! I'd like to join the military.


Must See!!!

thats F***ed up if u want quiet get the new Nissan GTR. not a muscle car. muscle cars where made to have big loud V8's. and they handle like crap. seriously where u going to go with that stealth muscle car anyway? the exhaust will eventually fall off and blow your cover. they did say the new gtr is very quiet. why not use stuff that already quiet and improve on that. and something with good handling. and a GTR is probably cheaper.

send info

This my car

Drug runners are going to love that Challenger.

The mustang: Bad news.

@62

XD

Those are not gull wing doors. Think DeLorean...those are gull wings. I think those are called batwings or Lamborghini style. Of course, with the amount of hoods doing that style doors to 80s GMs, they ought to be called ghetto-style doors, these days.

Gee does it transform into a truck as well?

Damn

That's how Dad did it, that's how America does it... and it's worked out pretty well so far.

Glad to see my tax dollars hard at work. Praise big brother! We obviously needed this for national security.

Those aren't gullwing doors; those are Lambo doors.

lets see the police speed trap me now! radar block!

If I get one for signing up, I'm in. Mmmmmmm Challenger ;)

Someone call the keyboard cat because that Charger is an epic FAIL! They need to court-martial the bastard that designed this heaping pile of shit! I could design something infinitely better... More of an eye sore than stealthy. I WANT MY TAX MONEY BACK FOR THIS OBAMINATION (snicker)... At least the stang looks decent outside. SPDCRZD

http://orange-pink.mybrute.com

The outside looks hot but the inside needs some more work

That car looks hot, I'm taking donation to get me one and i welcome you all to help me.

you guyz are so retarded these cars are so bad ass and i will give them all my tax money to make more and p.s. where is the ipod hook up or even and a track player i mean damn come on we need music to ride to with this shit
