MUCH better looking and truer to the original than the new charger


I'm starting to have Vanishing Point fantasies

The article says "6.1L hemi mated to a 6 speed manual". It's about time Dodge added a manual to that 6.1L hemi. I've considered the current SRT8's a bit soft because of the slush box.

Its very retro, almost a knock off of the 70's challenger which doesnt say much for creativity, but either way its hot. With a six speed manual and a 5.7 Hemi with the optional 6.1 Srt8, this thing could be a screamer. BUILD IT! take some of mustang's sales away!

As much as I'm not a fan of "retro design", this one is pretty damn sweet. I feel indifferent about the charger (don't like it, but don't hate it either), but this IMO is something I wouldn't mind putting down a deposit on.

IMO, there's such a thing as TOO much retro. The buttstang and that are two fine examples.
