not sure if it's part of the camo or not but it looks like it has an AAR style rear ducktail. It will be interesting to see how the tail lights differ from the show car

I thought the same thing about the spoiler but i figured they do add padding sometimes on camo to keep people from being able to see the shape.

Low angle.

I think it'll be great, but I still doubt that this or the Maro will be even close to baseline Mustang prices... or even GT in that case.

It's huge. 4,000+ pounds.

Go take a look at a Dodge Magnum. The Challenger is the same length as the Magnum, 1" shorter, and over 4" wider. It's a big car.

The Challenger definitely won't as they are only offering Hemi engines in the car. No V6's available on it (as said above, its too big for a V6. It would be a dog if it came with one). I still like this WAY MORE than the Camaro.

the camaro will be a better car imo.

the challenger looks nice but so does the camaro, and the camaro will have the performance to back it up too.

Like the shape, but the size/weight really kill it for me. Too bad Plymouth is dead - then they could offer a "me too" SE, like a AAR 'Cuda or something.

I like the looks of it. Doubt I will like the preformance of it though it will need 500 HP just to keep up. But If I were to get a Dodge vehicle that would be it.

For those considering a Charger SRT8, the Challenger is actually smaller, (shorter wheelbase, shorter overall length), therefore I would expect better performance.
