I like it alot!!  Some of the touches are better than the concept, in my opinion.  Gas cap, black accent around exhaust cut outs, and a T/A style spoiler that is just subtle enough, but dead on.  Only thing that made me scatch my head is why they changed the exhaust tips from the trademark Challenger "Quad" units to a more 'cuda looking version?  Especially since it was one of the elements they specifically mentioned in their earliest press release?  Nonetheless, awesome ride!

The concept didn't really have quad lights - it just had turn signal/running lights that looked like another headlight.

Is was referring to the exhaust tips not the lights

mopower76's photo gallery 		King... this ain't the 60-70's... No offence, I would immagine this problem (not that it dosen't) wouldn't occur nowdays. Aside from that, in my opinion (Just an opinion) I find if sort of find it amusing that someone could find a single flaw in the new Challenger, at least WE MOPAR devotees can once again say we are back in the game. My hat is off to Chrysler for seeing a 2 door muscle car into production.
So no offence king, but it's hard to take any negitive input after dreaming of a modern (Production) MOPAR Muscle Car for so long now.
I get enough static about my beloved MOPARS from my retarded cheevy friends.... I don't want to make anyone mad, being I am new to this Forum but I join these forms so I don't have to hear dumb cheevy boy comments. Talk is cheep, I know. My devotion to the mopar world (mainly collector cars) has given me these hard core opinions. God I love this S#%T!

Just an opinion!  

Devoted.

Status: offline 		the new girl is a million times better imo!!! Things i find odd are

1. no pictures of the tail lights which we all know were changed anyways. I don't think any concept tail lights have ever made it to production anyways.
2. no hood pics. makes me think the butterflies aren't a go for the production model
3. no side shots. we already know they added the b pillar but they might have changed the side mirrors and/or door handles.
4. no interior shots. i think it'll have the classic challenger inside lines (hood center consel big maybe on the middle though) but i think they'll go cheap on it and give it the charger guages and what not.

i know it's meant to tease people but still strange...

Midnight's photo gallery 		The 6.1L still has 425 hp. I didn't change.

And I'm guessing, they are going to use the next gen 5.7L HEMI with 380 hp.

I've seen "sources" say the numbers on the the Ram and Challenger HEMIs with be similar.

Status: offline 		I hope so, I'd naturally want the SRT if I could afford it, but if I can get the 5.7 with 380 hp and ~400ft.lb. like the new Ram, I could live with that quite easily.  We'll see how it all shakes out.
