Man, I *really* like that!! About twenty years ago, I had an opportunity to buy a '74 Challenger R/T, and didn't do it. :bang:
I wonder if I could afford both my GT and a new Challenger? Maybe if we sold my wife's truck....

I can already imagine it parked next to my GT! :-)
Any idea on what the specs and prices will be?

There are also rumours and speculations about the possibility that the 392 (or 6.4L...) crate engine from Dodge might be used for a top end edition. In race trim, it has 510 hp, but if they decide to use it for the Challenger, chances are it will be trimmed down a bit as far as hp is concerned (my guess: 470-480 hp ?) for reliability/durability issues.
Though I personally would be happy with the 6.1L + IRS + same (or at least, very similar to the) looks of this concept car...

I say dump the challenger name, call it the 2009 CHARGER ..this is the kind of car that name should have been applied to

It looks so much like the old Challenger, that you have to call it a "Challenger"
Wow, that is one nice looking car. It's the 1st car that has come out since the new mustang intro that is tempting.

You're probably right on there. But then why the heck would need the Charger? They'd be competing against another car in their lineup, much like GM already does (Grand Prix/Bonneville = same car). I say bring on the Challenger and dump the Charger.

Is that carbon fiber on the hood and the inside part around the grill? it looks like it to me. The car looks really nice.
Can't wait till the auto show to see the production shelby, the concept challenger(bigger pics), and the concept camaro. Watch out imports, it's the return of the american muscle cars .
