Another one! This one doesn't have the black stripes on the hood.

Nice chop Doug, i was gonna say something about the rear tires. I dont get why manufacturers always undertire these things so bad. People arent going to be buying an SRT challenger for practicality or cheap maintenance.

I think that dodge is the biggest culpret about undertiring..they get the stance right but use bicycle tires

Yeah first thought I had was that tail looks like the last 240sx rear end.
I have to admit though, this car has caught my attention moreso than the Camaro, especially as of late.

That thing is pretty big, the last 2 pictures really show it's size. I think there's an entire Mustang hidden underneath all that sheet metal from the driver back!!

I wouldn't be surprised. Roush and Saleen do a lot of stuff for OEM's other than Ford.

Looking at the pic of the red and green/brown one, I can't help but see that other than the front end it looks almost like a 1968/69 camaro. Sorry, just doesn't do anything for me.

Man Thank the powers that be that Dodge has the guts to make this car that close to the concept.

I don't know if it was guts so much as "well, we gotta do this or all cred is out the window" after the charger debacle.

Let dad buy the Camaro, and YOU buy the Challenger. Then you can have the best of both worlds - even go cruising together to car shows and stuff. Plus then you have the option of swapping once in a while, too.

And if you kept your Stang as well, heck you'd have a perfect trifecta in the family. A real life Hotwheels collection.
