Love the taillights. Those are better than the concept ones.

Is it just me, or does it seems to just blend in with other cars around it? I mean you see a Mustang, it stands out, I see this, and it just doesn't have the same 'umph' the stang has.

I will give Dodge this they do have a history of bringing out production models that follow thier concept counterparts very closyly and in this case with the grille and tailights even surpass it in my opinion.

JUst a little enhancing here
the first pic is just a blow up of the above image with some lighting adjustments to bring out the details.
the second is just a quick chop of said pic..slight lowering and wider rear tires and deeper rear rims and HOLY SMOKES it looks like a serious muscle car to me.

You know having just been boarn in time to missout on all the muscle cars of the late 60's early 70's when they were new (was born in 69) I love the idea that i can get a real muscle car now that looks as stylish as they did back then and out performs them in almost every aspect.

Looks great, but like the Mustang, it looks like it has too much "junk in the trunk". The rear just looks too thick to me. That and the enormous rims are the only two things I have quibbles about, unless the interior turns out to be a disaster.

Looks really, really good. I can't wait to get my hands on a lightly used SRT8 Challenger.
