Well....I guess Chrysler wanted to make some noise at NAIS too. :rolleyes:

Big improvment over the Charger. :thumbsup:

Jeez Tony, If you are going to post this, at least provide pics of the real car! :unibrow:


Challenger SpyShots

sweet let the car wars began. :thumbsup:
rick kirkindall :)

thats real nice
i love the old muscle look

i am so happy i didn't buy a new mustang because as a old Jewish Car salesman said to me

"This is the car for you"

man is that car sweet

This could get interesting. I can't wait to see what else will come out of Detroit in the near future.

I hope they build this one or the Cuda rendering i saw because the Magnum and Charger do nothing for me.

Great idea and good looking sketch, but here's some real pics. Judge for yourselves. I'll judge it in person as pics rarely do cars justice, especially in spy shot form.

Man Kris, you're a tough critic! :P

It's looking like the guys from Mopar are goin' all out retro. The only thing that pops off of the car to me that might look a little out of place are the wheels. They're almost too modern for the look of the car. They look good but the car looks like a smoothed 1970 Challenger done by Chip and then a set of modern OEM style wheels bolted up. I'd like to see a nice retro set of Magnums or something?

What do you guys think? Other than that I think the "look" is absolutely Killer!

You could buy a set of 17 or 18 inch aluminum Magnum wheels from Wheel Vintiques with the proper offset. That would look pretty sweet on there. I didn't know about the spy shots, thanks for posting them Jeff.

NAIS is going to be fun this year. :thumbsup:

I'm curious to see what the modern incarnation of the 'pistol grip' shifter is going to look like.

I love that it actually has quarters with lines no them!!! and the rear window looks fairly flat... my only complaint is that it needs some help in the bumper area...with the short grill opening and no chrome or anything under it the front valance just looks kinda big. I dig the bulllet look mirros too. I would def buy one.....only question will they have a joe dirt trim package?

I love it. In the rendering, the lights look dead on but in the pic, they looked weird. That's about all. The whole wheel thing I can deal with. Everybody with put the older looking magnums on them, if they build it. I'm not a Mopar fanboy but d@mn, build it.

I like it,now where are those camaro spy pics?

I love it, but it will be interesting to see what they will actually look like in production, The Mustang looked abetter as the concept than it does now, even though it is still pretty cool. This one excites me more than the Mustang does, however. And a HEMI...... NOthing wrong with that. They will sell a bunch of them if they build it based on that fact alone, maybe even one to me!

Would that be a Dodge 'Cuda or a Chrysler 'Cuda? ;) I think I'll hold out for a Chevy 4-4-2 :D

It would probably be a "Chrysler Cuda" :rolleyes:

what exactly is GM going to show us at the Auto Show in Detroit. Is it a Camaro concept car or a real close representation of what is coming in a year or two.

I don't know if GM will be able to come up with something that can compete style wise with the Mustang or the Challenger.

Why do you say that? GM has some of the most talented designers in the industry, by far....and Lutz at the helm. I would think the Solstice would make people believers again in GM styling....

From what I've heard from good sources, it seems that we're in for a pretty close representation of their final design, not concept. It also seems that production may be bumped up one year if all goes well. I'm getting my deposit money stashed away into a money market account starting now. :thumbsup:

I have also been told that it will be everything we're looking for so retro Mustangs... step aside.

Solstice?? I hope it looks better than that thing. Yuck :eek:

I like the look, but not the wheels. If they build it I will come.

Man, everybody is so emotional about the Camaro coming I think there's gonna be tears...but tears of joy! Don't count GM out yet - I think it's gonna be pandamonium when that thing comes out. Fights at the dealership will erupt because there will be overwhelming demand. I think it's gonna be crazy fun when it comes out!

I beleive that this is the Challenger, not the Cuda. I'm in agreement with another comment on this post - the bumpers need help breaking up the height and thickness of the front and rear bumpers. Bumpers need further study?

John

Geez....you are one tough customer. That car is getting rave reviews from every automotive publication and journalist in the world.

This is why no-matter what GM does, it will always be wrong :rolleyes:

One word - MALLETT.

I was talking to "some dude" at the LG party in Vegas and he said he could get mallett numbers with a simple turbo setup! :unibrow:

I like the car ,Mallett did a nice job with it.

Yeah, I heard that conversation. It'd be one hell of a car with a lot less weight than the LS2 version.

Yeah and alot cheaper too,but still illegal in CA :mad:

But... you could have a blast for six years with it!
