Thought this was cool.

Great song! I've always loved Soundgarden and then Audioslave and really anything Chris Cornell happens to be singing. Oh yeah and there was some kool Mopar iron in that vid. I wonder if it was a real 4 speed, air conditioned R/T.

Cool use of Vanishing Point clips as a metaphor for the song lyrics!

The mirror kind of bugged me the whole video, if its a RT shouldn't it not have a Rallye mirror? Ive never seen a mirror like that.

Scratch that, in some scenes it does have the Rallye mirror.

It crossed my mind that the factory mirror might have been replaced for filming purposes and some of the scenes may have been from the movie.

Yes, that makes sense

I think the standard non-remote chrome mirror was standard even on the 70 RT. The racing mirrors were optional on all models as per the 70 Challenger dealer data book. You had to have the A04 radio group to include a remote mirror.

If that don't make you want to jump in and run it through the gears nothing does

In 1971's "Vanishing Point" Kowalski's R/T has the cheapo basic mirror.
