Default Challenger is a go!




Challenger is a go



Now if they can keep this thing from being too portly, it should give some decent competition to the Mustang and new Camaro when it comes out. Suppose to have a 425hp Hemi with a 6 spd man trans. Now if I can only hit the lottery so I can get a GT500, Hemi Challenger and the Camaro.

I'm reading it will be at or around 4000 lbs. It's based on the 300C platform after all.

Still, its a nice package, and it is nice to see colorful cars again.

People who buy this car aren't going to give a crap about MPG. All they want is the hp and the performance.

Let's see how it looks when the tard it up for production.... Anyone can make a hot show car with 22" milled rims and hand-carved grooves on the tires.

Yeah, even the recent cars that have been "faithful" to the concept car have annoyed me.



The concept Mustang was tight. The production model isn't bad, but it's sure not as lean and clean as it was.
