Very interesting read. Actually quite exciting. I do love the look of the Challenger, I just have to get over how big it is inside.

I almost got one but it's really going to come down to handling to really compete with the ZL1.

Yes, they didn't mention what kind of suspension they were running. You can have all the power in the world but if you can't get it to the pavement what good is it?

Glad to see dodge stepping up. Can't wait to see the barracuda.

Interesting. The Challenger needs a redesign if I were to pull the trigger. Owning a 2009 R/T and 2010 SRT8, it's time for a change being the current design will have been 6 years old in 2014.

This will be a big improvement in the Dodge line up.

I love the ZL1 but man, we can't point fingers at the Challenger about being heavy.

The Challenger is a very nice car.

Can't see that happening. But if Camaro gets scared and ups the power levels in response, nothing wrong with that.
