Got my new Car and Driver and the new Stang will have more competition in 2006. A 340 HP Dodge Charger Hemi will be out for $25-30k

 

Sweet. This will be awesome.

 

Old topic (plus it's an ugly beast IMO)

That's about all MOPAR can do to sell their crap, the HEMI...good engine, crappy built vehilces.....

 

I actually think that looks good. The grille might be toned down a little... reminds me of the Durango.

 

Yep yep, very cool...to have it back..although the 4 door thing..meh..
Hemi engines will be good for it, and no doubt there will be an SRT-8 with the bigger 6.1 (or whatever) 425hp hemi that they are throwing in the 300 SRT8.

The other rumour was the 2 door type vehicle off that platform.
Challanger or Cuda or whatever....
THAT will be more of a competitor...but maybe to the GTO/Cobra, depending on what they sell it for....if it makes it to market at ALL

 

With 4 doors and a weight of around 4000lbs I don't think it'll be competition for the Mustang.

 

Even if Dodge puts out the Charger in 06/07. I still don't think it would affect much of the mustang sales. They way I see it, it looks as if the only people that are actually going to buy this thing would be the die-hard Mopar enthusiasts. Besides, it doesn't really seem to be a direct competition to the mustang (muscle car vs. pony car?). Plus, that thing is ugly as heck, so I don't really see it as an appealing car. If Dodge were to come out with the Charger concept from 99, then yeah that would definitely be worth it (since it is a great looking car).

 

Just like GM's GTO....they bring back the name but the car doesn't even have a hint of the original 60's muscle car....

The only good thing (IMO) about this new "Charger" is the 340 hp HEMI ingine. What a waste! :notnice:

Ford will dominate with the Mustang. Good looks, performance, a great all aroung Muscle Car........

 

WHAT'S THIS? :scratch: :scratch:

thats the '99 Dodge Charger concept

its a no go...

edit: Designed before Mopar inherited a lotta old E-class parts

 

hey thanks for clearing that up for me....

 

I was actually looking foward to seeing the new charger since it's based on the magnum/300 platform, but was thoroughly disappointed when I saw that 3-d rendering.

 

that could be sweet if it was a coupe

 

i cant wait to see one on the road in a couple years they really need that back.......muscle is coming back!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

lamesauce...

 

It's interesting. If Charger is as everyone says, a Magnum-like four door, then that's not going to be competition, per se.

However, NASCAR still doesn't know what the '05 Dodge cars are going to be called. Interesting point number one.

Also, apparently NHRA doesn't allow four doors in the funny car class. You can actually Google that. AND they dont' know what the '05 Dodge car's gonna be called either. Interesting points number two and three.

Did you know that a sedan can be a two OR a four door, while a coupe is only a two door? Interesting, but slightly unrelated, point number 4.

So. I have come to the conclusion that everyone is wrong. The thing that's called Charger is NOT what is going to be used at the tracks, and there is a two door (something) coming soon. I think DCX has us chasing wild geese!

(some of the above is from Allpar, some from Chargerforums, some from Googling. So take that for what it's worth.)

 

They should have built this instead of the "4-door" charger. OMG, can you image if FORD made a 4-door mustang....yuck.

If you look closely, you notice that concept has four doors as well.

 

The front end doesn't look too bad... the back looks crappy in my opinion.

And what the heck is that green silme color?...
