sweet i like it. I dont like the price, but i like it. Its a lot smaller than i expected it to be. But then again, the old one wasnt that big either. Definitly looks great and i bet it will be turning heads and blowing away a lot of the competition being roushcharged soon.. I wonder how they came to $40,000 for that car tho... i woulda expected low 30s..

 

"Max. Gross Trailer Weight..............Not recommended"

But I would dare someone to try.....

 

I'll be working at a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep/Nissan dealership as of next week. I am sure I'll get to see it in person before everyone else. I'll be sure to take pics and post a driving impression.

 

Is anyone getting these at or less than MSRP?

I think the concept looked better.

I know its a 6.1L , but the engine compartment sure looks crammed:

 

looks like it is not offered in stick though haha

 

I can't see why Dodge would do this.

A 6 speed manual would be gravy with this motor.

 

2009 model is.

 

The manual trans. will be available in 2009.

I like the concept better....still a sweet car though IMO.

 

i hear you on the price but i have a couple of thoughts on this, which aren't necessarily dependant upon each other:

1. i assumed that a non-srt model will be available at a later date, and i imagined it would have the 5.7L hemi

2. with that kind of advertised power, the market may overlap that of the base-model corvette (i also imagine the camaro, if it's ever produced, will fall in this price-point as well, equipped with the ls engine)

again, just some thoughts on the price point...i also think it would be nice if it's not offered with a smaller engine so that when i see one, there's no doubt what it is

 

They are not building any chalenger's yet ,there is one in the plant but it is covered up.don't know when they will be starting production,this new owner is not too favorable on these types of vehicles.I did hear they picked up about 40,000 orders from the auto show. With the dropping of the third shift at end of Feburary this could be held off for a long time,It is a base line product of about 35000 units and doesn't mean much to a plant running 72 cars an hour.After 2 yrs. of production there won't be many orders to build, but we are all hoping. The only thing I don't like about it is the "B" post, it's not a hardtop as was the orrigional.

 

over 4,100 lbs
gass guzzler
only in automatic
MSRP of $40,000
0-60 in 5 seconds

Can I say "FAIL"

 

Where did you heat this? Do you work at a dodge plant? In the thread i posted about roush working on challengers, there are 2 production models sitting outside in the picture. I recall MONTHS, like over half a year ago, spy shots being released from someone at a dodge plant, pics of the body shell..

 

Interesting..... I've read that the production is supposed to start in April. I hope that they do not delay this anymore or change the Limited production # again. I wish they would of kept the leather interior instead of the cheap crap that they put in it. I guess i will be having someone do a custom job to mine.

 

nice idea to bring back a legendary car, but it shouldnt have died in the first place.....

i'll stick with one thats still kickin like a horse....

 

god that looks badass.
