^ No way, just you! This thing is just plain bad ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's bad ass because of what's under the hood...but it has the styling points of a car 40 years ago which I have a personal problem with. Let's progress people...

i mean yeah this car is THE most curveless cars iv ever seen, even a scion xb has more detailed curves than this lol

I believe the car with the least curves ever was the first-generation CTS. Even the guy on Top Gear said "it looks as though they styled it with only a ruler!"

whats wrong with taking styling cues from the original challenger? i think the great thing about the current versions of classic muscle cars is the fact they do pay homage to the older generations and take styling cues from them. heck, compare the s2000 with the old s600, very similar styling.

Lol I get a kick out of how NA vehicles are constantly slammed if they aren't restyled every 4-6 years and yet many European cars have went decades with minimal styling upgrades.

I'm with you on this one. The original car was a beauty and the update is very nice as well.

I know I will get badly flamed for this, but this car is on my list along with the E92 M3 for my next car purchase. I know it's the M3 FTW, but just my thoughts ...

This is the top of the line STR Version. 40k including the gas guzzler tax.

Thats what I was going to ask. I thought it would be SRT not RT. Impressive, but I pay the extra few grand vette money for sleek looks and 3/4 faster to 60 mph.

[QUOTE=dombey,May 1 2008, 04:51 AM]lol about the heaviness comments. Challengers have never been lightweight cars - they're muscle cars, man. It's about making noise, burnouts, drinking beer, and kicking ass while taking names.
