2009 Dodge Challengers Revealed - Lateral-g Forums

I really like the look of the new Mustang and the new Challenger. I'm confident Chevy will keep massaging the Camaro until it's just as nice. It's like 1969 again - sorta.

Thx Kevin !!

I agree. Chevy didn't do too good of a job with the Camaro. I wish they would bring back a 70 Chevelle concept.

Wow, $40K.
Even includes its own 1/4 mile and 0-60 timer... I could see that causing some competition among the kids..

Ive got an 08 SRT8 Blk/Blk that I should hopefully see in May.... I do kind of wish I would have held out for the 6speed... heck with delivery being what it is... I may not see it until 09

When will the 6-speeds be out?

The SE and R/T will be out this fall (R/T gets 6 speed option). The SRT8 cars will be hitting the streets this spring (automatic), then later I think the SRT8 may have a manual option. Heres a good link below.

the 2010 mustang is going to have 400 horsepower also so ford wins the stop light war since its the lightest of the three at 3600 vs 3800 for the maro and 4100 for the dodge

Wow....you'd have thought that on a site that embodies handling and power, people wouldn't get so excited about an overweight, bloated, un-original version of a great car....
