Default New Challenger!! SRT Get It Right!!

The concept car is awesome!! Look at Barrett Jackson, Cudas and Challengers are King! Make it a real Muscle Car, Big HP, Auto and 6 Speed, solid axle, moderate weight (3500#)and bullet proof. Yeh it's got to be a balanced car, but it's got to kick ass in the quarter. 10 to 1 your market measures on 1/4 mile time to road racing. (maybe not hear, but in the real world) The baby boomers are still your market. They have the money and the memories. Make it affordable for the newbees and the oldies. Oh yeah, make the Drag Pac that the Viper never got. You can sell way more drag oriented cars than road race cars, Ask the guys designing, engineering and building the Comp Coupes!!!

they need to offer a true "muscle car" version with bare-bones interior, you know, we GenI Viper guys don't like being comfortable in our cars...

if they get this car even remotely right, I will have one (pleae make it with a 6-speed manual and make plum cray available!!!)

I am very impressed so far. Lets just hope they stay true to the concept when production times comes around.

Yeah the concept looks cool. Hopefully it will boost the values of the real Challengers. Why the Cuda's are worth more when they made so many more of them is kind of strange.

Car is awesome! They just need to make sure they offer one of those cheap performance upgrades like back in the day. Say a 6 speed and huge displacement for a couple K more. I was considering one of the new '07 GT500 when produced (maybe 2007), but now I'm holding out for this baby.

How about this: if they are producing a Challenger for $35k to $40k that will be darn near as quick as a gen I Viper with the possibility of more (if they use the 500+hp 392 Hemi shown at SEMA in it) is it really that hard to believe that a gen IV Viper with close to 700hp is on the horizon?

They were smart to offer the genIII coupe to the VOI8 guys first. This Challenger, however, they should build as is.
Dodge's only mistake...now I'm not going to buy my srt-8 magnum, cause I'm waiting for the challenger.
Keep the weight down, and I like the option of a drag-pak, but it may not pass fuel-economy standards.
Automobile magazine didn't like the hood stripe... Are they crazy?!!!
I want to put the stripes down the side!

Build it!

Viper Related? I don't care that thing is the rebirth of the muscle car. I love that concept car like I loved the first GTS. That car will change the way todays kids look at their Hot Rods(Hondas, Toyota, Subaru, etc.) My belief is that car will really make it big if Chrysler remains true to that concept. It's gonna make one BADA$$ compliment to my ACR!!!!! Let the muscle wars continue!!!!
