Sorry, I meant the Challenger. Got a little overexcited there!
Plus pics, never before seen sketches, etc, etc.
Way cool!

Note this line from the article:
This is further proof that the Challenger is as big as the Magnum. The comparison numbers to the Charger (@ 200.1 inches) are spot on.
I bet it's going to be heavy...
At 197.8 inches long and 78.6 inches wide, the finished car is 2.3 inches shorter and a full 4 inches wider than a four-door Charger.
I bet it's going to be heavy...
sweeeeet
and mark, i think its pretty much guaranteed the car will be heavy, unless they decide to make it all carbon fiber like the concept
but i still like it, sorta
although i honestly doubt that those 13 second 1/4 mile times that they say the car is capable of will be attainable by the production version for just that very reason: the weight issue

I expected better performance too. 13 flat in the 1/4 isn't bad at all, don't get me wrong, but that's the manufacturing company telling you what is "possible".
So after seeing those specs, my liking of the car overall have actually dropped
All in all a very neat video. Nice find.

Anyone notice that the scoops are functional with a butterfly?

I think their modern pistol grip is kinda cool, but I've never driven a car that had a pistol grip shifter. Does it feel good or not?

The original pistol grip feels absoluly perfect IMO
I really wish this pistol frip was the same as the origianl except with a new finish Carbon fiber or something instead of wood.
This one doesn't look nearly as comfortable. But i have a plan to fix that in line already

I like the look, interrior looks great. However we will see what the final production unit looks like and how it performs. The concept of the stang was considerable different from the one we drive now.
Hopefully the bulkyness and weight of this car will keep it in a GT's rear view mirror like it does the Charger. LOL.

yeah... i like it more after seeing that video. The exterior looks better than i thought from seeing still shots. I'd say i still like the camaro concept better, but its a tight call now.

I'm just the opposite. If I had to choose between the two concepts, I'd take the Challenger.

I think they're both pretty nice. The interior on the Challenger is really sweet. The Camaro looks nice too. They are of course following the leader. And in my opinion, they also both lag in looks and style to the leader
