Yeah if it's offered with a manual and not that stndard sluch box they have a I'll be all over it ..as long as they don't mess up the styling. It will be interesting to see how it differs as a production car.
Gotta find a job first though

Dodge Challenger is a GO! Compete with Mustang in 2007.

The Detroit news and Wall Street Journal reported today: Chrysler Group will announce at the Pepsi 400 NASCAR race in Daytona Beach, Fla., on Saturday that it will build the Dodge Challenger, bringing to market as soon as next year to compete against the Ford Mustang.

I say bring it on- competition is good. Move over Shelby… I’ll take mine in Challenger Orangewith the 6.1L Hemi & 6 speed.

Competition in the muscle car arena is always welcome. Let's not forget that Ford first had the ***** to reinvigorate the market!

I wouldn't mind having another pony car in my stable. Variety keeps life interesting.

Well, even if I don't get one it'll be cool watching the development of it. Can't wait to see the production version and performance stats.

The good news is the platform its built on... it won't weight less than the Mustang.
Dont get me wrong I like it a lot. If I can only have one Muscle car it will be my Mustang. However if money wasnt an object I wouldnt mind having a Challenger and Camaro to go along with it.

you just watch, they will mess it up, truck grill, suicide opening mini back doors, etc.
and maybe to satisfy the 6 banger quota they can bring back the tough ol' "slant six" while they are at it

We're going to need a 440hp 6.2L Hurricane to deal with this Hemi.

Are you listening Ford? Let's up the ante'.

The good thing about this is Ford will have to add some extra goodies to the Stang.

the Z28 was 305 HP back in '98. The Mustang GT still ain't there in '07 so don't count on it.
