that's what I think... that car needs about 2 more inches of rubber under the rear end... those skinny arse tires are going to be a cinch to turn into rubber powder

I really like that Anthracite looking color... very nice... I think it would be a hard choice between that color and a Plum Crazy one with silver stripes

The Challenger is dead-beat ugly. If I wanted a car like that one... I would go buy the original version, why buy this fake re-model look-alike.

Daimler Chrysler sure is going down the shit hole.... with new models like this and the optioning(only automatic, only SRT-8 for the first year).... im pretty sure there already operationally bankrupt... why not just completely go bankrupt and be done with it, lol. Relieve themselves from the task of making cars, cuz they suck!!

I guess to each there own... but I dont think this challenger is even 20% of what the Camaro is going to be when its done.

That one would have been better than the Challenger. Not a huge difference, but she's prettier. I am still partial to the Camaro.

Oh yeah, the second two are actual concept models, not photo shopped.

Because new cars tend to be more reliable than decades old classic cars. Plus, if you can find an original Challenger with 0 miles on every part of it for the price of a new Challenger, BUY IT!

I understand the allure of a carbon copy remake, I've often wished that someone would do that with a 1st gen Mustang or Camaro. That way I could have the style and the looks of the original without the wear and tear that inevitably comes along with age.

Nope the 2 picks with the shaker hood is actually a custom one off job done by that vendor at sema and is no way endorsed or related to chrysler. Just like gm has no plans for the trans am variant of the 5th gen, chrysler has no plans for a cuda variant of the challenger.

Soooo much misinformation.. feels like im beating a

gOOD point..... i guess as a younger person I really dont feel the same joy towards the remake of the same exact car 40 years ago..... versus someone who was alive during the first get and then see's a remake of it.

I dunno... the Challenger to me is just another typical Daimler Chrysler vehicle .... a boring car.... whereas the Camaro is wow!!!!!
