The Chargers right now weights 4000 LB plus sadly, its actually a really big car.

Unless they lighten the shit out of it, they will only make it a good competitor if they make it have lots of HP. And the prob. with that is it will be way over 30k. And if they reduce the price with cheap materials the car will suck ass. Break down just from looking at it.

I hope they lighten it.

i bet it will be in the same range as the GTO... about 3750 lbs and 35k-40k and maybe 500hp?... i dunno.. the 6.0 LT1 has 400hp.... so you never know.

 

the drawing looks good but the real car is out of proportion but ya the srt8 should be badass

 

i want one.
as long as it isn't over 3500lbs and not made by daimler/chrysler....hahaha

and then they'll give it that damn "hemi"...which isn't a lot like the old hemi....which actually was a cool engine....

 

I likey:heyhey

 

Its alright, with all these new aged muscle cars comming out it almost makes me laugh with how heavy they are making them. Motor trend just had a shoot out with the new srt8 charger vs the 06 gto. both have over 400 hp, gto weights like 3800 and they srt8 is 4250.. both cars cant break into the 12's.. almost sad if you ask me. definitally need to shave off a few pounds...i prefer my light car

 

i drive a miata. i can't wait to boost 220ish hp and smoke EVERY car i've seen locally....minus that dude w/ the srt-10....

Miata's own...
Na miaita you have?

 

Miata's own...
Na miaita you have?

yup.
crystal white, w/ aftermarket tan top.
getting black (robbins) top asap...along with HOPEFULLY a lot of suspension work....hehehe

back to thread subject
that challenger is hot, but i think the shaker hood would really sell it.

 

Don't the grill and taillights looks really small (narrow) compaires to the car? They only seem like they are 5 inches tall. I dont like how long and skinny they are...and muscle cars are supposed to be heavy. Big Engines, Big Cars, Big HP.

 

you gotta admit tho 4200 lbs is more than my mothers van.. thats just piggish

the taillights were kinda small on the original challenger/cuda.
the grill looks fine, but then again, i like that styling a lot.

 

What ever happened to cars with improved aerodynamics? Looks to be another [BRICK].

Still kinda sexy.

 

this concept doesnt quite do it for me, hopefully the production ( if there even will be) turns out better

 

that car is badass. that what a muscle car should look like now. omg i want one

 

I just looked at it again and it does look good. I'd change the rims though.

 

that makes me happy. It's nice to see a remake of a car that actually resembles and does credit to the original. The new GTO made me sad... im a mopar guy, and the new charger made me even more sad, but the new challenger makes me happy again. Since i was a kid, my dream car was always a 71 challenger, white w/black interior. I still like the original better, but i'd definately drive that.

 

looks good, but i'm still sick of these things...

chrystler is headed down the path of GM.

"let's make EVERYTHING we make uber fast and powerful! reliability? quality? PFFT!"

* 2 years later *
"Oh shit, we're 'too big' and need to close factories that have always been there and cut jobs."

in reality, GM could just make a few quality cars and rebound completely. but no way, they're just trying to make america into the "buff cars!" days, with complete disregard to what consumers want. sure, the idea of a 700hp corvette beating a ford GT is enticing, but not to everyone... chrystler is doing the exact same thing now, throwing a hemi in everything...

coming soon: '08 Dodge Neon: HEMI EDITION (6.1 litre v8)

and then there's the little american company, ford, sitting in the corner, building cars people actually think are worth buying... hmm... "reliability? gas mileage? good selling points." chrystler and GM are headed to hell if they don't pick up some common sense and make real, practical vehicles. now don't call me partial, my dad owns the sweetest purple/black roadrunner in existence, and i've always had wet dreams about owning a Super Bird, charger R/T, challenger, chevelle, and even was considering an older 'dart for a while. i'm just pointing out that GM and chrystler need to start following Ford's example and start making some REAL cars in addition to these cool little sidejobs, or there won't be any more little sidejobs... though, ford needs to slow down with the retro theme and start goinf progressive, like they've always been. good job on the new 'stang, it brought the stallion back to roaring glory (now actually DO something with that 5.3 litre v8, crank it to 400 PLEASE.... and dump that live rear axle, make it independent) but now change is in the air.

still, that's a goddamn clean recreation of a classic muscle car. i'd drive it any day of the week.

Funny you say that, in the new issue of autoweek (I think the same one as the Challenger) it has a Jeep Cherokee with, you guessed it, a 6.1L Hemi with 420hp and 420-lb-ft and weighs 4788lbs. It goes 0-60 in 4.9 sec! I mean what kind of soccer mom needs that. It also gets 13mpg. It is cool that you can buy a porsche fast jeep, but who is going to buy it? It is rediculious that to sell cars, you have to put an engine that 5 years ago would have been called unreal in most sports cars. It is almost rare to find a car with moderate hp numbers these days. 99% of the time people use 20% of there cars max hp. It doesnt take a 250hp Accord to get a family to go 80mph on the freeway.

 

it looks alot like the original. i like it.

Well A. thats just one engine option for the Jeep B. if someone ends up buying your 6.1 liter Jeep instead of a Cayenne Turbo isnt that good for your buisness? I can imagine Jeep projected only selling a small amount of the SRT cherokee. BESIDES there are plenty of cars wiht moderate hp #s out there, if you want big HP with new cars you're going to have to shell out the green, thats the way its always been.

 

i just signed up for the thing at the mall for a 06 roush mustang

if i ever won, ill sell it.. to get money to put my project car backtogetter

 

christ the SRT8 is 400 hp, i cant imagine that.

btw the srt8 is the highest charger trim

and its under 40k i beileve

 

And what they don't tell you is that the hemi "trim" is cheaper to make then the cheaper trims that don't have a hemi.

They are making cash hand over fist over their hemi's..... maybe even stop being in dept lol?

 

okay hemi history here

old school hemi's had pistons that looked like an upside down U

that hemisphereical piston and matching the head cause NO turbulance in combustion so it had very low compression

now the new ones have dips on each side of the upside down U so they can create turbulance in cumbuston to create power with out shitty compression and horrrrrrrrible emissions
