ITS ABOUT TIME, DODGE NEEDS TO GET THIS INTO PRODUCTION SO I CAN BUY ONE….I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE A GREAT SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought a 1970 Challenger in 1969. Plum Crazy! Black roof and interior. The car was a beauty but also a lemon. I guess that happens to first runs but I was sooo disappointed with it. I owned it for four months and it was in the dealer’s service shop for three. They finally told me to pick out any car on the lot for a swap and I took a SuperBee…4-speed..positraction..8-track player..woodgrain dash..very nice car. I kept it for years and gave it to my brother.

To keep a short story long, my son sent me the email attachment about the new Challenger Concept and I absolutely love it!! I just hope I can afford it when its in production because I really loved the original when it was running. Thanks for reading my thoughts.

Respectfully,

Donna Wallman

Now all they have to do is re-release an amped up Hemi ‘Cuda in Green or Plum Crazy. That’s the car I want ‘)

I Must have one of these, even if I have to pimp out my wife to get it!!!

I like the old one better. This is ghey. They should black out the grey on the grill and add light covers.

What a great vehicle this is going to be. Everyone I know is excited about this car.

If you’re interested in the Challenger concept, check out http://www.challengertalk.com

This is what I wanted the new Charger to be like when it came out. Take this from concept to reality quickly.

I had an 1970 challenger and thoroughly enjoyed it. It had a 318 which was an excellent engine, but the Hemi sounds great

i

This is a step in the right direction for Mother Mopar. The only thing I could ask for, but will never see on this car is a solid rear axle, but that is just the drag racer in me. I would also like to see a stripped down hi-po version made available….no traction control, none of that stability program crap….sort of an base model with big HP.

I’m in. I’m buying.

[...] I’m not a big car guy but the Dodge Challenger concept car is hot. [...]

It’s about time!! They should have released this instead of that gawd awful 4-door Charger that I wouldn’t even own for free. If this car isn’t priced out of reach I WILL be owning one.

I owned a 1970 Challenger with a 426 Hemi and I loved that car. It was a real performer but I bet this new car will be much more efficient and it will probably handle much better too. I love this new car and like Donnie said above; ” If this car isn’t priced out of reach I WILL be owning one!!” We will see…..

Im buying it. Nuff said.

Well this gas guzzler should make the terrorists happy! Way to go Detroit, always doing things backwards!

I own an original 1970 RT/SE and have been waiting for Dodge to do a new Challenger with the flavor of the original. They hit a home run right out of the gate. I can’t wait to buy one!

much better than the charger!

pigasaurus hyperconsumptus. grow up this thing sucks our soldiers blood.

I love the old muscle cars, but this has to be one of the supidest cars Detroit has made, other than the Hummer. Gas is skyrocketing and Detroit makes a muscle car, when they should be making something that sips fuel.
The House of Saud and the terrorists love Detroit..

any chance of some high res shots – wallpaper sized – what a gorgeous looking machine

The interesting bit is that the designer is a Camaro fan/owner. This looks better and more like the classic Camaro then does the new retro Camaro design!

this is a high class car that would make a corvette look like a matchbox car.

my brother is gay and he likes this car so it would be an awsome car.

[...] The new Challenger, which looks to overtake the Charger in the badass department made its first appearance at the Detroit auto show. Very retro. Very Duke boys. [...]

WOW!!!

Where do I sign up?!?!

Had a 71, but I’m a MUCH better driver NOW!!

Had a’73 charger. loved the large size. And the steering. Drove it up to Alaska. And all over cali and the south west. thist new car looks sweet. I need a test drive. I heart the highway.

Exactly what we need! Another gaz-guzzler!!!

Hmmm… let’s send some more soldiers to Iraq in return for filled bodybags. So we can all enjoy our way too big cars and our polluted environment! Go America!!!

It’s about time for a car like this. Putting a hemi in an old persons car was a horrible idea. By the way I am an old person.

Had a 70 Super Bee w/383 magnum, really fast, lots of fun. Got to have one of these when they come out.
Have a 99 Dakota R/T 5.9 now, would love to have the new Challenger parked beside it!!

chase is gay

To all you nattering naysaying nabobs: Get a life!
As an ASE certified Master Auto tech, I can tell you with
authority and knowledge that though this (and other) Detroit cars are high-performance, that DOES NOT mean they suck gas like their 1970’s bretheren, as you yahoos
infer! With good driving habits and the current engine
technology such as Displacement-on-Demand, fuel consumption remains low for V8 engines in these applications, so if you don’t like the styling, okay, I can hang with that, but stop shooting your mouth off about fuel consumption when you obviously know nothing about it!!!

They should (and I WISH they would) re-create all the great cars of the muscle era – why stop at this?! All the cars today look the same. I haven’t bought a new car since the ‘87 Monte Carlo SS I had, and it got stolen because it was so gorgeous. If (when) this comes out, and sells like it will – maybe the auto makers will realize that people really appreciate and long for the comeback of these REAL, truly classic cars again.

I love it, I own a 71 440 and this is what I have been waiting for dodge to do for years sign me up! all of you babies crying about gas milage can kiss my ass as you do not know anything about the new cars and the displacment on demand the tech was talking about above, so shut up and go find a tree to hug and stay off the roads you electric car driving maniacs.

MY HUSBAND BOUGHT A NEW DODGE CORONET IN 1968 IT WAS THE COOLEST CAR AROUND,PLUM CRAZY IN COLOR,BUT A LEMON. ON THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE SHOW ROOM HE HAD TO STOP ‘THREE TIMES TO PICK UP PARTS THAT HE HEARD FALL OFF THE CAR ONTO THE GROUND. SO FUNNY. IT WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES UNTILL EVERYTHING WAS TIGHTENED UP.

Well what more can be said other than, Chrysler/Dodge has done what they are so good at once again, blown GM and Ford off the map with another automotive icon that will sell as good or if not better than their other cars have. The true muscle car aficiandos can identify with, understand and appreciate a car of this caliber. For all you nay sayers, get a life! you obviously don’t have a clue or have any kind of appreciation for classic cars and what they represent. The numbers don’t lie, Ford and GM suffered a total combined loss of 6.2 billion in the last 9 months deep in the red, are closing factories and laying off workers, while Chryslers sales are up 4% over last year, that’s on the positive side and in the black! I’m a true muscle car fan who owns a classic Mopar muscle car and I know that this new Challenger will have to be the next car that I buy.

This is one great looking car. Get Detroit in gear and build a few of these and blow the eurogermriceislanders away once and for all! ps. Install a six pack cup holder!

I love it! The new Challenger has outstyled the new Mustang and looks better than the new Camaro. The only thing that needs to be changed is the instrument cluster on the dashboard–it needs to be bigger so that it’s easier to read. With 425 Horses and a stunning look, I think I might be switching back to Daimler-Chrysler. I hope the Challenger is put into production and that the exterior looks exactly like the concept. I would have returned to Daimler Chrysler sooner had they kept the original concept design for the Charger. I hope they don’t get stupid by making the Challenger look big and bulky like the Charger. It’s good to see the Big Three fighting to see who can produce the best American Muscle Car. MAC

I have a `70 and `71 challenger. I had hoped to be first in line if ever there was a re-release of the challenger. I can see that the line is going to be a long one.The good news is, I have three years to find some one to give me an ungoddly amount of money for one of my Challengers, and then I can buy this one.
Though I still like chrome bumpers

I have loved challengers all my life,I hope you will produce this car maybe I can buy a new one if it sky high

Owned a total of 4 Challengers in my youth (’70, ‘71 R/T, 2 ’73s) Also a 69 Charger R/T w/440.
I’m absolutely drooling over this, and wild ass guess’ on a ticket price?

Where do I sign up – THIS CAR I must have!!!!!!!!!

# 29 go and live a little and hug some more trees while u are at it.

41/Dave,

Order two and sell one when you they finally come in. Some impatient bastard will happily pay you double, giving you a free ride.

i like the challenger but you confederates are homos

How many of the tree huggers out there drive suv’s?
What hypocrits. If you want to complain about fuel usage, start riding your bicycle to the Starbucks that is only 4 blocks away instead of driving your Excursion.
Better yet, WALK.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the new Challenger in the paper this morning. Had 3 of them as a kid. Always wondered if they would build an updated version. I’m in!
I’ll buy!!

AWESOME CAR!!! DODGE WILL SELL A MILLION OF THEM!

if dodge builds it ,we will buy!!!!!!!

Sweeeeet!

I love this car. They better bring this car out ill so buy one and i hop its out before 2009. I dont care how much it is this cars the sweets car ever. U guys better make them.

This soldiers going to be standing in line to order one as soon as they announce production… regardless of the MPG or price. Sure beats a gold watch for retirement.

The technical features are great but the 70 looked a lot better. They shouldn’t have messed with the lines – they were perfect. Raising the side line was a huge mistake – it doesn’t have that “look” now. Any purist who owned a 70 knows what I mean. There’s a reason why the 70 is the most sought after challenger….. I will say that the 70 did not handle like I know the new one will – but then a Ugo probably handles better than the 70 did. The 70 needed front end enhancements like rack & pininion steering, massive disc brakes, a fat steering wheel, better weight distribution, radial tires, wrap-around seats, and some no-rattle doors if you know what I mean, but otherwise the 70 was perfect and they should not mess with perfection. I think they’re blowing a great opportunity.

Joe Mo

Awesome car. I have two 1970 challengers, I hope a third 2008! I’m totally buyings one of these!

Are we going to really see this baby in the show room or is this another tease? It would be nice to see it with the old HEMI tail stickers, and shaker sticker under the hood? (Sort of like the cuda had)

The new Charger made me yawn. The new GTO made me laugh. The latest Mustang at least got my attention. This one is what I have wanted ever since I graduated in 1970. I couldn’t afford it then. Can now.

this car is cool!!!! I hope they don’t wait too long to put it out. the sooner the better. as for the comments about our troops dying…..yeah, I’ll be dying to get my hands on one. unless you’re going to pick up a rifle and fight the war on terror, just sit home and shut up, and thank the rest of us for the job we do.

Wow! I absolutely love it! Just saw the Camaro concept car and love that too, but would take the Challenger over it any day! I always wanted to go back and fix up a Classic like I did 20 odd years ago;) but wanted the latest technology. What a trade off! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. Way to go guys!

Finally a real car is back it is about time for something a bit more muscular

My friends and I set up 1970’s era muscle cars for road racing, and the stock Challengers and Cudas shortfall was handling. With their wider track, however, it took very little suspension work to make them a blast to throw into corners, and the end result was more predictable handling than the Mustangs, Camaros and (ugh) Javelins. The new Challenger increases the track and wheelbase, and has an obviously lower center of gravity and roll-center than the original. The pictures show the engine set much lower and further back in the engine bay as well. This is a ground-up design that surpasses the Charger’s reconfiguration from an Australian “saloon car” designed for a smaller engine. With two or three engine options from the Chrysler line-up, this new platform should privide a good combination of performance and reasonable fuel consumption rates. This particularly when coupled with the new line of overdrive transmissions which provide acceleration ratios with economy cruising.
P.S. Donna W. who drove a four speed Super Bee – You are a catch! My wife only drives a clutch, and she was harder to find than a 440-SixPack.

This car I would buy. Are there any other stats like curb weight, HP to pound ratio, transmission options (6 speed?), gearing, etc.

This not only is an excellent looking car it could have a tremendous aftermarket potential to get the 0-60 in the 3s.

Jack Galyean

HELLLLL YES Dodge you better produce this!! I already started a savings account so I’ll be ready to buy one.The kids will have to understand,LOL!! My older brother had the 383 Green Cuda back in the day. We use to cruise around our small town. Some of the best times of my life. Build, Build, Build!!!

The challenger rules!! I had a ‘73 with the 340. The sooner Dodge comes out with this the better. All hail MOPAR!!

I WILL OWN ONE OF THE THESE!!!!!!!
DIAMLERCHRYSLER YOU WANT MONSTER SALES, BRING BACK THE HEMI CUDA!!!!!!I’LL OWN ONE OF THOSE ALSO!!!!!!!!

THE CHALLENGER IS AWSOME, BUT YOU HAVE TO ADD THE HOOD PINS AND GO-WING BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OLD SCHOOL!!!

Good Grief!!!

Another gas guzzlet??!!!

this car is so cool looking.i want to buy one just to put a spanking on those new mustangs just like this car did to them back in the day when i was a kid.my grandmother bought a new charger RT in 1971- i allways wished she still had it so i could cruze the beach. i could get moore a$$ than a toiltte seat w/ this car.thanhs 4 reading.keep the ruber side down– jason in fla…………….

Good bye 401K! Always had Roadrunners/GTX’s, untill the children came. Chrysler, keep your word and build it! We will come in droves! Can you say “MOPAR RULES!!!!!”

FINALLY, a GOOD retro muscle car! This is the way a modern muscle car should look! Ford had the right idea with the Mustang, but the Challenger blows it away!! Good job Chrysler…now build it already!!

sweet ride

How many more Arabs do we need to kill to make this car’s fuel afordable into the near future?

The car is awesome; I would add some graphics, rear wing, maybe have the wheels look slightly more like the 70’s, etc. I may not be the first in line, but very close to the front. I have the garage stall open and waiting!

hEY I THINK THIS IS A GREAT CAR.THIS THE BEST CAR EVER.MY FRIEND IS A GREAT FAN OF CARS.WELL BYE THIS THE BEST CAR EVER BYE

RICHARD

this is a beauty,way to go on this one.when can i buy one.

this is absolutely the greatest car ever!!!

I definitely like the look of the Dodge Challenger. Who ever came up with the idea of the look I congratulate that individual. There needs to be more cars with those kinds of looks because now a days, the looks are so boring and they all look alike. For example the new GTO looks like a Grand Prix, but with more performance. To me they killed the GTO with those looks that it has now in no way does it relate to it’s past history just the name. I definitely hope that it is not to expensive because I am interested in purchasing the new Dodge Challenger. Keep the looks don’t change a thing, thier awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great car!!! I hope they will make it in Plum crazy purple. I’ve been waiting for Mopar to make something like this for a long time. Hope to put one in my garage.

About time they made up for what they did to the Charger! They stayed true to the original and I so want one of these!!!

I love it but the 1970 challenger grill had a no cross piece in the center. The grill is what made the ‘70 different from the rest.

While i’ll certainly buy one of the new Challengers if Chysler decides to make them avaliable to the public, I just hate to see the big three grasp at strawes with the retro vehicheles. All of these retro rides including the new Challenger display some of the most innovative designes and production features, it makes me wonder why these approches are not applied to all new vehichles built here in America. It’s sad to see Ford and GM produce all the import copy cars. I say let Japan, China and Korea build their own designs. Lucky for Chrysler fans our guys are building the best and most innovative automobiles on the American market. And in my view some of the most beautiful cars and trucks in the world.

It’s been a long time coming, which means it’s time to bring out my 1971 challenger convertable. Hopefully the picture that I’m looking at is orange and black. And if your not too greedy, I’ll probably be one of the first in line. If you made it the size of the Pinto you ruined the concept. Remember wider is better. Also maybe you could steer me in the right direction, I am looking for the grill for my car.
Thank you and good luck.
PS. It’s a damn good idea.

Even I’m a Pontiac guy, this concept car has succeeded in invigorating the “musclecar” concept originated in the 60s and outshines the styling on the reintroduced GTO. Good effort.

damn i have to sell all my possetions to get that car

THIS IS hot looking car almost remind me of the cuda in the fast and the furious ILL TAKE TWO ONE IN BLUE AND ONE IN ORANGE IT ALSO KIND REMINDS ME OF A OLDER COMERO OR FIRE BIRD BUT THATS AN INSULT WE MOPWER FANS CAN STILL WHIPEM.

Car looks great. I will buy one if a convertible is available. My wife has wanted a convertible Corvette but I will wait for the Challenger. All of this for half the money? No contest.

I have been a chevy man my entire life. I have always hated the Fords and never even considered a Dodge. This is to the Chyrsler Management, if you give the Challenger the green light for production, you’ve got a new customer….. I’m on board!

Well,you fianny did it the challenger looks great it could be a custom from the 70s you kept the lines it goin to beat the compatiction now dont screw up on the price remember how ford did the priceing in 65 they took the market dont forget this would be a second car for most lots of luck Don ps ill buy one.

Oh yeah! very cool car. Dodge Challenger? More like classic Camero. No drawing board needed.

I READ SOME COMMENTS FIRST. SO IF AMERICA DESIGNS SOME SHARP LOOKING CARS, THEY’LL BE MORE OF OR BOYS GETTING KILLED IN WARS????? SOMEONE SAID THERE BROTHER WAS GAY SO THE CARS NICE LOOKING??? I DON’T UNDERSTAND SOME PEOPLES THOUGHTS ON CARS. MY HATS OFF TO CHRYSLER!!!!
I STILL OWN MY FIRST NEW CAR. IT’S A 1970 DODGE CHARGER,
WITH 12,000 ORIGINAL MILES. IT’S PLUM CRAZY WITH A BLACK VINYL TOP.383/4 BARREL, AUTOMATIC. I THOUGHT FORD DID A FANTASTIC JOB ON THE MUSTANG, BUT THE CHALLENGER IS OUT IN FRONT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE HEMI!!!! I’AM NOT A CHEVY MAN, BUT IT WOULD BE COOL IF GM WOULD COME OUT WITH A MODERN VERSION OF THE 1957 CHEVY!!!! THAT WOULD BE COOL !!!!!

Jesus……….

This car is a straight road gangster. Menacing looks, and neck jerking power is the two main ingredients that you need to cook up a spicy chick magnet. I didn’t used to play the lotto, but I am about to start. I’ve got to have one of these, by any means necessary. As far as any soldier dying for me to have one…Well thats bull! It’s clear to me by reading some pryor comments, that most people don’t know what the war is about! Start using your commen sense and stop watching so much T.V. Make the car already!!!!!!

I’m, looking, but I don’t see a hemi convertible in the photos. One is in the works now, right? If so…DIBS!

This car looks badass. I would love to own one. This is the type of car you’ll be seeing in barret jackson car show selling for the big bucks. For me to say this meens a lot since normally I’m a Chevy guy

first let me say YES!!!!!!!! finally! i’ve read several of the listings above and its cool to read about all of you so excited about this car. Then i read the gas guzzler comments and think they’re missing the point. My father bought a 1970 challenger rt/se in 1970. In the beginning of my life it was the car he drove me and mom and my brother and sister around in. Eventually we got a more appropriate “family” car and te challenger went into storage. Through the years my dad and i went to car shows and worked on the car and dreamed about one day restoring it to its original beauty!! (the storage and years got the best of it) Unfortunately my father passed away several years ago due to cancer and we never got the opportunity to finish together. Now that im 32 years old i still dream about one day finishing the car for dad and taking it for drives w/ mom and now my family and to car shows. I see the new challenger and just imagine how my dad would react and what he would say ( i know im freakin out). I dont know if i’ll be able to afford one of these new beauties when they come out (since its hard scrapping up money to restore dads) but i know this, these cars wether its the challenger or camaro or charger or yes even the mustang are not about guzzeling gas, they’re about memories of the past. Wether its memories of being young and driving fast or being young and talking to your dad about “one day this car will be yours son” these cars represent something to all the people who love them and it has nothing to do with gas!

here’s to hoping to restore one or own one

I had a ‘70 Charger RT, 440 with a 6 pack, over 400 horse. I still kick myself for selling it. I would love to buy one of these new challengers…

This is first North American car that I will buy.This is true Americanmuscle.Looks great and with that hemi power,
will sound even better.Wake up ford and gm

It is a thing of beauty! The roofline says it all. G sheehy Nova Scotia Can.

Wow, I hope Chrysler stays close to this concept car. After being so disapointed in the new Charger they got it right this time – a great mix of classic Musclecar to make the old guys sell thier BMW to buy one, and enough high tech goodies to tantilize the teenagers and young adults. Dont worry about Demographics, Fuel Economy, Aerodynamics and Ergonomics, Chrysler, just build the thing!

I love the way people take a commentary about a great car and how it brings back the muscle cars and twists it into their own agenda. how can you speak for the soldiers when your too much of a mooseknuckle to do it yourself. Most of US signed up to defend the rights of you tree hugging freaks.

YEAY…. A NEW CHALLENGER… SO WHATS NEXT

Dose this car come with a get out of jail free card?

know we will need the sister car the CUDA

Love the look of the new Challenger, but I also liked the concept of the Dodge Charger. Look at the four door family car we got instead. Please don’t screw this one up when you produce it.

Awesome, don’t change a thing from the concept car looks great. I would start making payments today for its release in 2009.

well i think dodge should start making cars like they used to like the old 69 challengers and with the hemis cuz i know all about them cuz i got a whole bunch of those old boats out back but i know the new cars look fine but do they have power

People you can quit crying about the prices of fuel .No body will force you to buy this car . so sit back and enjoy whatever pos japcrap that you have in your driveway. As for me i’ll take the 2 door Hemi CHALLENGER anytime ,over the mundane stuff we’ve had to put up with the last 20 years.

AAAHH Yes…. A dream come true… hopefully!! Brings back old memeries… you know, racing through the streets, out running the cops, making a bet with a buddy you could make it to Frisco in 15 hours….know what I’m talking about? Yep… I already know what color mines gonna be…. bet you know too!!!

It’s about time that they made a modern classic, worth owning.i’m saving my money for that car, I just hope they put some leg and head room in it!!

I’m definitely in on this, my first car was a 73′ Dodge Challenger. If they build it, I will have to have one. Dodge can’t go wrong on this. Look how well the new
“old style” Mustang is doing

this is the best looking new car out! I would definately buy this car. I just hope its not one of those things that are too good to be true…. If these go into production i WILL buy one… To really be able to enjoy a good auto such as this challenger you must forget all about gas prices and just drive it. If your looking for fuel economy go to honda!!!!!!!!! if your looking for an awesome machine get in line for this challenger. the challenger is well worth the gas bill to me!

all of these people crying about gas prices obviously have never driven a real muscle car. GAS GUZZLER FOR LIFE!!!!! If you dont want a real car kia makes a good go-kart…THIS CAR IS PERFECT! BUILD IT! I’m in! on a scale of 1-10 i give it a 15. GO DODGE! Can i take a number now? I don’t wanna miss this. MPH magazine feb 06′ issue on the cover says $28,000. i’d buy two! any other colors?

I grew up in Detroit and in the muscle car scene at the tail end of the seventies, and anyone who was into cars always agreed that the challenger and sister car “cuda” really were top picks in performance and non-performance models. It is obvious that there popularity continued to grow long after production stopped as seen in the ridiculous prices seen at the Barret-Jackson auctions. What can be said for the new concept challenger, it`s great, will it be affordable, let`s hope so, affordability will definetly go a long way in the number of sales for this car, as there`s no doubt that all across the board of ages people are going to desire this car. It really is about time for this car, before the new mustang steals the complete show. Good job Daimler!

Hey, for all you left wing do gooders…MOVE TO FRANCE!!! As for Crysler, please build this car. I thought Ford had the mustang in the bag. This thing is AWESOME!!! I will own one. The Charger is a joke. It has dissapointed a lot of people. This will make up for that!!!

I want it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can’t wait

I have a picture of this car in my office,I can,t get any work done.I can,t wait to see this car out on cruze night?

This is it. My brothers and I brought a 69 383 magnuim RoadRunner when I was just 17, I am now 45 as of January 16, 2006. Count me in. I now owns a 1968 Chyrs. Imperior loaded 440 but it needs some bodywork and the time chain replace. Pearl White/blue velvet interior.
It want take much work to get it back in mint condition. What a vehicle. Dodge Dealership it’s for sale. Call me at 252-758-2876 or 252-413-8378. A Lieutenant Crnl. in the Navy owned it first.

That Challenger is a Horse !

If they can produce these exactly as shown here, and make them somewhat affordable, I believe they couldn’t make enough to sell. I was to young for the first ones to come out, later in life I was able to buy one that is sitting in storage right now, but I would find a way to buy one of these beauties. Perfect for those of us who were to young for licenses the first time around.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

Will it come in the HIGH IMPACT colors of the 70 model year? Like TOP BANANA, GO MANGO, SUBLIME, RALLY RED,ETC

I have never owened anything but mopars. I would like to order one with the 6.4 liter now. Please dont change it like the charger was before it came out.

nice looking car(bodystyle and looks,interior),about time dodge did something to out do ford and chevy.

This car DEFINATELY succeeds as a retro Challenger and as a muscle car! I always felt the Challenger and Barracuda E-bodies were never given a chance when permanently axed mid way into the 1974 model year. Chrysler have not had a decent, affordable, rearwheel drive performance coupe in over 30 years!!! Three decades people!!!! Chrysler, if you don’t build and mass produced this new Challenger, it will be the most idiotic move you ever make and you’ll simply fade away as an ex-American car maker, to become a simple, but amusing little toy devision of Mercedes. The NeoHemi engine alone will not keep Chrysler alive for long, having some DESIREABLE car bodies to put it in will certainly help. Like NIKE says…DODGE, JUST DO IT!!

The car looks great and I will also be waiting in line to buy one. My only complaint is that I don’t know if I can wait until 2009. I hope that they do bring it out and soon.

I have a 69 charger, 1990 Dodge 4X4, and a 2005 neon sxt I bought for gas mileage. I had to sell my 73 plymouth satellite sebring (that I got from the original owner) to pay off the ex- wife. Yes I am a Dodge person. I will gladly sacrifice my neon, for this challenger, regardless of gas prices. It is awesome. The added extra bonus is that it will piss of the tree huggers, anti-war leftover hippies, and a few fudge packers. Ive never been to Alaska, I hear its cold, barren, just right for drilling a few holes!!

When they came out with the Charger, they had turned up the SUCK. With the Challenger, they’re turning up the COOL. Holy crap. If they really look like that, I’m buying one….Only I’m waiting for the CONVERTIBLE.

how much?

I LOVE IT!!! I am a true muscle fan. I just hope this thing is affordable or at leat able to be bought w/out ALL bells and whistles. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ALL BELLS AND WHISTLES BUT $$$$$ helps me restrain.

this is one bad mamajama!! ford did good on the retro mustang but i’m pretty sure i can speak for a lot of people when i say that the challenger puts the stang in its place. gas mileage 10mpg….i’ll take it!! nice come back dodge after slaughtering the charger name..but please for the love of mopar leave the cuda in the past.

I am 37 years old and have never bought a new car.I have never seen one that I just had to have untill now.I really hope DODGE will unleash this new Challenger.I just can’t wate to set behind the wheel of this awsome ride.THANK YOU DODGE

What’s up with all the Mustang bashing? Has anyone seen the new Shelby Cobra? Hell 475 horses are nothing to take lightly. Ford controls this piece of the market and to me it looks as though they dont plan on giving it up anytime soon. The Dodge Charger, Chevy Camaro, and the Pontiac Firebird were all outsold by one car that is still the only musle car still in production and it had the least firepower. CAN U GUESS WHAT THAT CAR IS CALLED M U S T A N G! GO FIGURE!!!!!

Love this car, looks awesome…what is the c.i. of 6.1 litre?? hemi in everything,going back to old school looks,why not put in the old 426 hemi to fit with the rest of the retro craze of today.maybe be too expensive then, or complicated to explain but we can wish right!!!Thumbs up nice job!!!!!

133- 6.1L is about 372 cubes
94 – you hit the nail on the head – cars are an integral part of Americana. If you’re a middle aged guy with a pot to P in and kids gone from the house – you gotta get a hard-on about this car. My friend who turned me on to this site says: “Cut off my Ford blue balls for this car, right now!”. I’m with ya, W.O. — JS

This a very nice car. I love it. I always wanted to have one of them. I will have one of them when it comes out. I wonder the price range. But it needs rear spoiler, hod pins, r/t emblems, and 426 HEMI emblems on the hood or on the side of the car. Just like the old school challenger.

I have a 1973 Plymouth ‘Cuda with a 528 cu.in. stroker, Let me tell you that I’ve been saying for years that the e-body style cars would be the best selling, most observed cars in todays market. This car is exactly the way I would of like to seen it built, and here it is.

The pony car wars of the sixtys started with the introduction of the Mustang. It is only fitting that the Challenger be produced as a worthy alternative.

We had a 1973 340 cubic inch, automatic Challenger which we sold in 1990. My wife loved that car and can not wait until the Challenger concept car becomes a production model. Hopefully, this time around all the short comings of the original will be corrected (in particular the weight). We are hoping that the production model will have IRS, a six speed automatic, as well as aluminum V8 option besides the Hemi.

Alright, I have read enough of y’all dissing on the soldiers and Iraq. My husband is over there now and he is the one that sent me this link coz I love older cars and some of the concepts for these that are bringing back the body styles. I am not ASE certified or anything, but just to let you know this, I have a 74 Duster. That is CARBURATED. The carburated cars are the ones that suck gas. These newer concepts are FUEL INJECTED. Fuel injected saves on gas. So quit bashing the war and crap on these sites. They are here for the cars not a protest site. Peace

I drooled like a retard at the Chucky Cheese when I seen this! Must have one. I have 1 wife and 3 kids I am willing to barter with. Love to see a ‘Cuda concept. After I get rid of my wife and kids for the Challenger I wont have anything left to trade but my house. I will love living in my 2 new vehicles!!!

I almost had a heart attach when i saw it on the computer. I am just curios as to what the sticker price will be. I guess that i will have to sale a couple of my racehorses to buy one or get into the winners circle a little more often. Hopefully they come out with the Barracuda next. The hell with the camaro and the mustang, i think it is a beautiful machine except for the instrument cluster, i will definatly take a test drive for sure.

I think the Dodge Challenger would be a bigger hit with more horsepower and maybe a turbo options so it can dominate the streets like it did in 1970 yet still be streetable the car should be made on a limited production run or just have one body style and stick with it and not do subtle changes as dodge did in 72-74 that put the Dodge Challenger to an end.

This concept is close to what it should be

Make it even more like the old one

Chrome cap gas tank cap

Propper pistol grip gear shift

Show me the results please

Finally!!! I have been waiting for a V8 rear wheel drive car from ma Mopar. I hope they build this car so I can buy my first new Dodge car, instead of driving my good old stuff all the time.

NICE!!! I’m a mopar freak and this is the topper. When I sold my totally restored 1971 Challenger, part of me died. I had to sell it. I hope this car goes into production. It will go nicely parked next to my Dakota Stampede. And to you gas guzzlin’ cry babies, what makes you think you are so perfect? Mopar people treat others with respect, have close family culture, we recycle and we are different from the general population. Why do you think Dodge is always on top? Because we have a stuff together. If you are so bent about oil, maybe you should have not voted for Bush.
Rock on mopar fans and don’t let any of these tree hugging idiots ruin this. Mopar_71

Alright freaking awsome, but hey whats up with all these car dealers having one on there show cases, but no prices?

This is a very good example of how old school can meet new school and create an awesome machine. this car is a great representation of both old and new school the kudo’s definitly go to Chrysler corp. on this one. It is time for the mustang to move over and make room for the real muscle car.

If I have to sell crack to buy this car, than so be it!

Many keep saying if its not priced out of reach..well this is going to be atleast 35k so you can figure out now if it is or not.Please dont hold up order spots if you dont have the cash or think you will by the time it shows up from the factory..Either you can swing 35 to 40k or you cant.

Only thing i would recommend is an option for fully painted hood.They can charge more for it and people like me will pay it.Silver with black interior.

I have to have one. Dodge get busy and put it together.
I owned a 1968 Charger 440 and a 1973 340 4 speed Duster.
I have always wanted to have a Challenger RT 440 six pack with the Pistol Grip four speed. But could not afford one. Now if the price is semi reasonable like the Charger SRT8 I will be able to afford one. By the way what is with the 4 door charger ?? Hope to see them coming to a dealer near me in the near future.

listen why all the talk of price..use your heads you guys and gals know what the price is going to be in general.The charger is low 20k to 36k right.Now if you want what makes the care the car its the 425hp hemi motor and the charger cost with that motor is 33k with a sticker of 35k+.The challeneger is by far way hotter and getting rave reviews so dodge know they can get atleast that if not alittle more.You cant expect a penny off the sticker and the charger with the hemi motor is $35,800 so in a nut shell..if you want this awesome car with the 6.1 hemi motor the sticker will be ATLEAST 35k and your not getting a penny off.Is it in your range???Great if it is but if it isnt dont ties up an order dreaming.

Awesome car. Saving now for it! I had a 1970 Challenger rag-top, any ideas about the convertible concept? Will wait to hear.

will it come in sassy-grass green?

I am almost mad i saw this car before it came out.I think my generation has been waiting for this car.Its that old school muscle that you dont have to wrench on!

p.s. HURRY UP IM BUYING ONE!

I own a 1970 and 1972 Challenger along with a 1968 Charger. They need to build this car and they need to rebody the charger to look like the 1968 to 1970 body style. They will sell because the passion is still alive!

best car in years

my first car was a 96 camaro when i heard they were making a 2007 i wanted one, my curent truck is a dodge ram sport.,, seen this car., im a dodge guy all the way this will be my next car

hi:
i was just wondering what is the base price of the new challenger? and what is the high end price?
thanks alot
bill

MY WIFE AND I HAVE A 1974 CHALLENGER AND WE LOVE IT !!! BUT WE BOTH HAVE CHEV’S FOR DAYLY DRIVERS .I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE YOU A PROMISE , IF YOU BUILD IT ,[ WE WILL BUY IT.]

It’s about time Dodge came out with a real muscle car,I Love the looks they will sale more than they think if they come out with this. I will buy one for sure as soon as they come out, I just hope the put the 6.1 Hemie or bigger in it. As far as you Assholes crying about it, if you dont like it dont buy it, If I want to buy a Car that gets 2 miles to the gallon, I will so Kiss my Ass you dumb Ass and this war has nothing to do with OIL you Ass holes, I hope they put a bigger engine in it, I would like to see the 572 cubic inch Big Block Hemi they offer in there crate engine, I would but it for sure.

this car is only for those who have brass balls

Great looking car,it takes me back to my crazy days. i bought a new,1967 belvedeer GTX 440 727 tranny,323 suregrip rear and beleve me,it would do the 150mph that showed on the odometer,still have it, along with 1967 satilite for parts,to rebulid the BIG X.wish me luck.GO MOPAR.

do i sell my 05 mustang gt to get this???????????

Sweet Jesus…
Dodge has definitely taken a lesson from the new Mustang (not a ford man but must give them props). I’m a rally car person (yes, the rice burners) but have had a lot of fun with my Evo. This beast however, brings back the days when cars were art and the sound of a revving Hemi could make your heart stop. Can’t wait for production…

Holy smokes, i want one right now. They shoulda done the charger the same way. Quite a shame. I cant wait to sit behind the wheel. This is my next vehicle, i dont care how rigid the ride.

I love this car I am saving money and gitting a nother job to get this car and i realy never ben a mopar fan but that one will be mine and you will have a nother custemer here !!!!!!!!!

I had a 71 ‘Cuda convertible #BS27N100005 B5 blue with blue inside and I miss it dearly. When are they going to build the new Baracuda cause I want one in convertible.

nice car.

JOHN SPENCER IS GOING TO BEAT HILLERY CLINTON IN 2006!

MUST HAVE NOW!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Jesus, this must go into production. I’ll sell a kidney to get one. Hell, I’ll sell both kidneys!

I love the return to the basics…but I feel the muscle car culture is being encroached upon. Now any yuppie with 25 grand can have one without ever going to the junkyard or wrenching on it himself. It takes the fun out of it, plus his car will be faster than the one I’ve built with my own hands. think about it……

If they make the dodge challenger I will by one for sure. This is a very good thing to do bring back the cars that us guy’s that were kids but loved these cars and never thought we would have a chance to own one. A 1970 challenger.But it looks like we might get even a better chance, This new car will be so much better and still look like the old one. I have a new 2005 mustang gt and would sell it tomorrow for a car that looks like the new challenger, Hope this happens.

Ya know…To the folks with the Oil beef! Give it a rest. These are the cars/ideas people are fighting for! Let me see…ooooh, I can’t wait to get back to the States so that I can drive a car with zero appeal that get’s five hundred miles per gallon. BIG WOOP! And here all along I thought it was the Christians that wanted to control everyone’s life. Drive one! you’ll like it!

LOVE THE CAR, AND FOR ALL YOU NERDS COMPLAINING ABOUT FUEL….JUMP IN YOUR GEO METRO AND DRIVE OUT OF OUR MOPAR LOVING FACES!

Waa, waa, waa, tree huggers go home. My boy just got home from Iraq, second tour. I am sure that if he had the cash he would buy one and deliver it to my doorstep. He might leave most of the rubber on the road between Ga. and Ca. though. I have been a Ford hot rodder all of my driving life but as I have gotten older I have been turning to Dodge. I am still a huge Ford fan, I love the Shelbys and the Gt’s, there is not many a car that would compare to a 66 fairlane 427. But this is the most incredible car I have seen from Dodge since, well, ever. I would be in line for one if I could spare the cash, definately. 10mpg is no biggy to me, I drive a D350 with a 360 and a granny tranny so I am already used to it.

Hey patrick, i feel for ya and i agree.I alwasys wanted to get a 60/70″s car and have it redone with modern equipment but with that old style and yep dodge just did it so i dont need to spend 15 for the car and 35 to restore it i can just go get this.However, no way will you get one for 25k(maybe some 6 cylinder clown car but not the goods)this car is all about the hemi motor and 425 horse or more and the sticker will be atleast 35,000 probably more so relax..if someone wants this car and the power it has its going to run them between 35k to 40k with taxes and options.

wow.. het ku tulee myyntii ni mie ostan… hemillä tietty..

To comment on 51. DUUUUUDE!
I’m in maybe i will have to buy 2 car’s His and Her’s.

Fresh back from Viet Nam in late ‘71, I was stationed at Cannon AFB in New Mexico and I drove over to Amarillo to purchase a new ‘72 Dodge Challanger. God I loved that car! I put over a hundred thousand miles on that car and only changed a water pump. 318’s are great. Glad to see this car coming back. Hopefully I’ll get another.

Hey all you tree hugers, YOU are the reason gas prices are so high. Your environmental lobbyists have prevented us from building any new nuclear power plants for decades, which would have saved massive amounts of oil from being used and would have been much cleaner for the environment as well. YOUR lobby has also prevented us from building any new refineries since 1975. So everytime one of our refineries which are running at 95% capacity goes down, prices go up as during Katrina. Also YOUR lobby has prevented opening up the ANWR because you say it would harm the wildlife. I have personally seen the elk and caribou laying under the existing Alaska pipelines for shade and rubbing up against them to scratch themselves, so it doesn’t bother them much. YOU have also kept us from drilling offshore to a large degree. You guys have some kind of guilt trip about being an American and you hate America because of it. Until you understand this you will never be able to think logically. You’ld be well advised not to talk about an issue when you don’t understand it.
I have a 1992 Corvette LT1 that gets 26 mpg, not exactly a gas guzzler, because of fuel injection and overdrive transmissions and newer technolgies. This new challenger won’t be a gas guzzler either because of new technology.
Also I would be willing to bet a lot of our soldiers that WE are PROUD of will be returning home from IRAQ and buying themselves a brand new Challenger, Mustang or Camaro.
One of the reasons people like us love cars like these is they represent a freer America before you people screwed our country up. There I’m done with my rant.
The new Challenger is WAY COOL, and I will be owning at least one.

I was dissappointed with the design of the new Charger, thought the new GTO was ridiculus, was lukewarm about the new Chevy Camero, absolutely love the new Ford Mustang, and I am estatic over the new Challenger! The Mustang and the Challenger both pay homage to their great ancestors in the 70’s-but I have to say the Challenger takes the lead in styling and offering of the HEMI.

My father owned a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner that was one of the fastest cars in our small town. I don’t remember the exact color, but it was that bright yellow-green color he jokingly refered to as “piss-complexed”. He loved that car. He sold it around the later 70’s and has been kicking his butt ever since.

The Challengers and the Road Runners were very similar, just different makes. Since Plymouth is now defunct, I think it would be awesome if Dodge would offer a “Road Runner” package for the Challenger, complete with the Dust-trail stripe with the cartoon Road Runner, pistol-grip shifter, and a “BEEP-BEEP” horn. This could even evolve, dare I say, to a Super Bird version of the Challenger!

This Challenger is going to take over and be the baddest looking car in the world it is one of a kind.And I will be getting one!!!!!!

I am an old Mopar fan from the Muscle car era. I have been waiting for them to get back in the game. This new Challenger is nothing short of awesome. I never thought I would part with my SVT Cobra but if they build this I WILL buy one!!! Oh and if the rumors about a special order 500 HP Challanger come to fruition I’m all over it.
Build it and they will come!

MOPAR Muscle is back, I can’t wait for the line cars.. Mayby NASCAR will choose this one over the Charger or Intrepig!!

Someone is doing some forward thinking in designing the new Challenger…it looks great, has the muscle, and was the talk of the 2006 show. It appears to be an outstanding design at the right time…we babyboomers really perked up when we first saw it. I still miss my 69 RoadRunner with that 383 4bbl 4spd white leather deep blue with chromes…but that new Challenger…what a car…if it is priced right…who knows, maybe this old timer will revisit his youth with a real muscle car…the new Challenger. Good job folks.

WOWWW!!!! Mopar RULES, the ford mustang have nothing to do, it’s the best design ever made!!!!

You got it right, I had a 72 and a 71 challenger my brother a 1970 – you did us proud- There is a few things to improve like the tail light assembly and the dual square exhaust pipes also a spoiler and in front some new redesigned hood pins also there is something about the grill that is too boring other than that we love it. p.s never mind the e-mails about the gas gussler comments all they are is just LEFT WING ENVIREMENTAL KOOKS that can’t enjoy life unless we are all riding bicycles and not putting fumes into the air— That was a great generation you could only appreciate it if you lived it. PLEASE DO THE CUDA NEXT

the new dodge challenger is the closet reproduction of a old car that i have seen this has to be one of the best looking cars that i have seen the mustang does not compare to the looks of the challenger other manufactures will have a hard time trying to compete with this one i will have to wait to see if this car will make into production if not maybe i will have to buy a mustang or corvette good job design team

I THINK THEY SHOULD SWITCH THE NAMES FROM THE CHARGER TO CHALLENGER THEN I WOULD BUY ONE NEW TWO DOOR CHARGER NOT A FOUR DOOR.

Will they make another “Vanishing Point” with this car? Kowalski would be proud. This is much more to the point, much more atractive than the new Charger, which doesn’t resemble the classic 68–70 Charger. Who would have wanted a 4 door Charger back then? Let’s hope when they release the new Challenger, they don’t make a 4 door or station wagon version! The classic styles were the best.

The new challenger is very sweet. What I think would be cool is if dodge did like back in the day. Let you order a performance car with out having a six diget income.

This Challenger is awesome.That is all there is to say.

my first car was a t/a my second was a 71 rag top (both challengers). this car is like the movie field of dreams IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME. if there is a brain left in corprate america they will build this. i know i will be the first on my block to have one.

Ya ya ya, it looks good, I had an original 1970 Chevelle ss 454, and today own a 1969 Chevelle ss. Bring out the Challanger to the strip and we will see. 450 hp vs what ever that thing has under the hood. I’ll keep my real Detroit Muscle

I have been a Ford man for a long time but have always like the older cars of any make like the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro and the Mopar Cuda. When the new Mustang came out it really turned my head and really liked the looks and would really like one but the talk of the Challenger and the pics ive seen have me in limbo and if this one is produced not sure were ill go so its a hard toss up but yes please bring the Challenger out its awesome.

Mopar heritage at its best! I own a Bullit Mustang, but this thing (Challenger) makes all the competition look soft! I’ve gotta’ have one, oh please God let me have one!!!!!

I’ve owned an A body, 72 Scamp with a pumped 318, my first car.
I’ve owned a B body, 70 Charger 500 383Mag Panther Pink.
Fell short of owning an E body, a 70 ‘cuda 383 and a 70 Challenger.
Dodge, please fulfill my dreams and put this monster into production immediatly.
Thank you.

please put it into production,but make it in the 18000-25000 dollar range.i have owned approx 20 hipo mopars and have a 65 coronet convertible 383/4 spd now.all the factories have lost touch with the average working man/women who would love to get their hands on one but can’t afford it.

You build it and I’ll buy it.

thas is the way that cars shuld be.

That is the way that all cars should be done………….

Like all of Daimler’s design’s their Challenger concept car is stubby in appearance, making the hood’s appearance shorter.

The one thing that I can say in it’s defense is that if you set the concept in a mall parking lot, most car enthusiasts should be able to make the Challenger connection.

Now you have to wonder if Daimler will pull the Bait & Switch routine again. Remember, they paraded the longer, sleeker 1999 Charger concept car around the auto show circuit, then instead built a stubby Checker Cab with a delivery van grill on it. Then, to try and compensate for the Ma & Pa Kettle design they dropped a Hemi in it and told us to take it or leave it. As for me, you’re not going to feed me SOS after I’ve been shown a steak.

Anyone with two eyes can see that the Yellow Cab Charger is an aerodynamic nightmare that makes the lines of the Intrepid look like a Lamborghini, in comparison. It’s no wonder that the Checker Cab Charger with the delivery truck grill is the red-headed step-child of Nascar.

Build the thing so I DON’T have to buy a ford and try to keep the price competetive with the mustang so I don’t have to mortgage the house!

I was anxiously awaiting the camaro concept, but I am blown away with the challenger…..Can`t wait!!

SWEET!

hello,

I welcome you to the alltime fan of the dodge challenger concept. I trully look forward to coming home from Iraq (active Army soldier of the 101st) and having the pleasure of not just driving the beast but owning it! it has the most magnificent look, stance and performance. please update me and website as much as possible so i may slober all over myself while i wait.

thanks for all your support,

mopar mopower baby!!! pfc von aspern

Great car!!!! Takes me back in time when musle cars ruled! Got to buy a new one, Thank you mopar!!!!!!!

This car must be built. Bring this car to production ASAP. Why are we letting Ford have all the with the Mustang.

Dodge should also consider revising the Charger. A 4-door – give me a break. There is only one thing good about the Charger – the HEMI.

OUTSTANDING: Since I was just a kid and nearly on my knees begging my father to allow me to buy a 71 Challenger 383 with pistol grip shifter. To no avail and really wanted one ever since. Hope it really makes it to production. ITS A KEEPER!!!

Here Here to all in favor of this vehicle. It looks great. Yes we need convertibles,at least 3 more retro colors like Lime-Light,Toro-Red,and a Gunmetal Blue would make this look terrific. Yes to Hood Pins and Go Wings. Retro badging and matte black graphics of any kind would also make me horny baby. And above all, If Ford can remake the Bullitt Stang, then Dodge should make a Special Edition Vanishing Point Challenger that would be what the GNX was to the Grand National. The Big Bad Brother that is revered by all who know of him. But it should not be badged so. Just like the GNX, it should be discreet in its badging with only the colors of what is not Alpine White, is Black. And in closing, Yes , the nostalgia that this vehicle exudes is the stuff that keeps us “true” Americans together as our own families or many families around the world integrated as one that have the same interests that bind us together. Helping dad fix up the daily driver in the yard or restoring the old classic to putt around on sunny days with. Oh by the way, I know that some of you left-wingers out there drive SUV’s and or whatever else tickles your fancy to add to worldly dilemmas. Some of you right-wingers are also bias when it comes to things that feel good or are fun too. So all you tree huggers and bias tree hugging hippocrites out there who like to juxt your position when it is convenient for you to do so, GO VOTE FOR HILLARY!!!! She does what you do ALOT.

i like this car but i think people are thinking too highly of it, i know it’s a nice car and and all, but people have to stop talking like this car is an almighty god. ok, so we all like the car, ok, some people are just a little too bit obsessed. i think i speak for most of us when i say get a life. like, geeze, its just a car, i know that sounds stupid, but you guys have to get a hang of yourself.

this car is ugly, like wow, not like it used to b, i thaught this thing was nice before, yuck, that nasty, this car will never sell

the 2006 dodge challenger concept car is bad freakin ass

Colegas este es una mole de fuerza total con 500 caballos
de fuerza te hace la carne de gallina con escalofrios!!
adios mustang!!…

The new Challenger is a fantastic throwback to the muscle car era utilizing 21st century technology. I just hope that if Dodge does carry through with production of the Challenger the don’t do what Ford did with their Mustang. Reducing the horsepower like the concept Mustang had done to it prior to production. It’s great to see an American automobile company build something that can compete with the import world instead of building the mousey little clone cars that have come out in recent years.

had a 70 cuda which I bought new,wish I still had it but after looking at the new challenger I’m in love.Now waiting for when and how much

this is what i have been waiting for it is about time you all brought the challenger back and i LOVE IT AND THE LOOK IS GREAT THANK GOD FOR 5 LITER EATERS….

that thing is the most uglyest sports car i have ever seen man a vette could wast that thing in reverse

WOW!!! IT’S A DONE DEAL!!!

gas guzzler? I just looked at the newest 06 corvette stats.
6.0L V8 400HP 28 mpg. the Z06 was 7.0L V8 505HP 26 mpg.
I’m only a 20 year old college student, and drive a crumby 95 camaro with a V6. I’m lucky to get 26 mpg and I assure you it dosnt have near 505 horsepower.

Point being, this car (yes, I LOVE it) isnt a gas guzzler. Alot of thought and technology goes into this kind of thing because they are aware of gas-price issues.

To everyone else posting, dont let these idjit sticks get to you, some people (almost always eviromentalists) just love to make issues out of nothing.

~~I hope the V6 versions are semi-powerful with sticker prices us young’ns can afford~~

this as got to be the best remake of a sports car ever.. far better than the mustang , camero , even the charger . the body style and interior are beautiful . i cant wait to see it up close . this is a true mans sports car.

I love Dodge! I love Power! I love being able to make my own decisions! If i want to pay for the gas then guess what, its none of your business! By the way its no worse then those horrible “SUVs” that all you soccer moms drive! CAN YOU SAY HEMI!!!!!!!

Speechless still, have not been this excited ever about a car since my 1999 Viper GTS ACR.
Let us all stop a moment , understand and cheer that Dodge Designers stepped up again. Itis about time that they are making up for many BAD years in automotive history.
Sure gas is an issue, it will always be,” FIND ME A LIST, I AM A READY TEDDY, I WILL SMILE AS I PUT IN MY 94 OCTANE @ $3.50 A GALLON IN MY NEW CHALLENGER”.
If you are fortunate to own one, then you understand what it takes to own one, I see an “Old School Drag race” in my future.

Holy crap, it’s about time Mopar!!! I nearly pissed on myself when I saw the photos of the new Dodge Challenger. I had a 1970 Challenger R/T 440 Magnum when I came into the military in 1989. I’m still in the military and overseas right now fighting for those weenees complaining about soldier blood, oil, etc. Like an idiot, I sold my old Challenger back in 1995. To this day, I still have wet dreams about my old Challenger and kick the living shyte out of myself for selling it. The person above who said, “…these retro cars are about the good memories we had, the fun times…” he’s right on. DODGE–IF YOU BUILD THIS ANIMAL, I WILL BUY IT!!

P.S. Dodge, please don’t queer-out like you did on the new “Charger”–that thing doesn’t even deserve to wear the Charger name badge (I owned a 1972 Charger, too). A four-door Charger–what the hell were you thinking? That’s like going outside and kicking your favorite dog.

This is a beauty!, my Father is 67 years old and has been wanting a challenger for years but would’nt pay those Barrett-Jackson inflated prices everyone wants for the beaters still left.
Well at least now I know my inheritence will be well spent,lol. Good Job Dodge

i have got to be seeing things. this car is by far the muscle car of the 2000’s. i love the features in it and around it . just like the original. i always said if a car of the past would be brought out and redisigned to look like concept but still keep the past .the inside looks great. the stick in there . “A” plus. too bad the charger didn’t meet my standards. it looked too much like the 300.i wonder if they could make one in silver and black ,SPURS COLOR. any how if chevy could bring out the camaro s.s. 69 version and keep it more original ,i would buy me those 2 cars and say those r my real babies. yep i would leave my wife for them.. tru muscle man at heart…san antonio tx

WOW, i was all Chevy until i seen this car, I was thinking about buying a new Camaro whe nthey came out, But not anymore, order me a Challenger!!!

Bring your gas cans over to http://www.challengertalk.com, some more Illustrators added some concepts and colors, (kept me busy all day while on the job). I think my boss is upset because I still listen to Foghat in my Musclecar and he is stuck w/ Mozart playing in the minivan (Stuck it to the man this time) With my ready to go deposit. LET US PRAY THAT THIS CHALLENGER GETS BUILT AND IS PRICED TO BE SOLD TO TRUE GEARHEADS.

i love the way the car looks. the only nthing I would do different is change the rearend. I personaly like the rearend on the older ones than the one thats on the new one but other than that its awsome.

What are the best mpg with the Hemi? Is Plum Crazy, lime green and tangerine orange available? Can I change the spark plugs without loostening motor mounts and rolling the motor to one side? I expect four wheel discs. In recent years engineering seems to discourage owners doing simple maintenance in the driveway. The look is fantastic, I hope the beauty is more than skin deep.

Awesome,now if NASA brings out a new Saturn V and heads for MARS we`ll be living in an EXCITING time once again.

i always say that i would never buy a new carbut,after looking at this car i am very much interested in test driving one of these.

I love what I see in the pictures of thie car. As long as Dodge keeps the price competitive with that of the Ford Mustangs.

They should have done the same to the charger. The new mustang was my favorite car until I saw the new challenger. I hope the concept model is what is being released. I am definately buying one. With some mods, and a hideaway headlight add on, this will be the car to beat

Rallye dash option and the same color combo from 1970-71 would make this a Hit…Oh god I’m Coming, I’m Coming, I’m Coming…OOOOOOOOooooooooooo Yeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh….

I just don’t understand some of the emails that harp on this being a bad idea based on gas. Who cares!! These are the same guys that are driving euro/jap trash and have never picked up a wrench! Anyone who has ever taken a hunk of hand meat of working on a late 60’s/early 70’s mopar, will be drooling at this one. Let’s just hope that Daimler Chrysler has the kahuna’s to bring this to market without too much re-pansification. Gotta love the 4 healights too!

my father recently died of cancer. he always had tough cars , but his and my favorite was his 1970 rt challenger .although i may never be able to have one , i would like to thank dodge for bringing back a piece of my dad. he loved that car and he would have loved this one.besides we are all pretty tired of these mustangs its about time dodge stepped back up and give the horse some horns !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This car is totally awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The gas saving guys can go live in Canada and leave the real AMERICANS to build awesome cars

I’ve done it all. Head engine builder of Nascar engine shops, team owner, and now working at a renowned Pro-Stock team. When the new Challenger comes out I will have one. Totally awesome. MV

For all the bleeding hearts out there: it isn’t going to matter how much you cry foul and blame everything on the war in Iraq. We will always be suckers for big, fast, inefficient cars. We love them. We always have and always will. Everyone is entitled their opinion and this is mine. I think the new Challenger is hot.

Can you imagine if they went on to a convertible. Just a great lines…ed

dodge bring sex back into motoring….. long time to do without!

GRAET MOPAR,, BUT NEED A NEW ROADRUNNER

This car is awesome as hell!!!!! WAY TO GO DODGE!!!! You screwed up on the Charger, but you didn’t screw up on this one.

When the 1970 Challenger came out I wanted one but I was
only 10 years old and didn’t have the money. I’ve been
looking on ebay to purchase one but the nice ones are
$100+ I can’t wait for the new Challenger to go into
production so I can order a brand new one.

this car is amazing

it looks so good i hope it comes with the hemi. ihad a 1974 rt with a 340 4 speed and regret getting rid of it .can not wait for the challenger to come out see you soon

It is mine when i graduate 07

Hey GM!!! The Dodge Boys Are Kicking You Butts!!!
There Doing What You Should Have Did Long Ago!!! And You shamed Us With That Thing You Call a GTO !! SO TAKE NOTES AND LOOK AT WHAF DODGE AND FORD ARE DOING!!! Do It Right Or G Out of The Way!!!

Hey GM!!! The Dodge Boys Are Kicking Your Butts!!!
They’re Doing What You Should Have Done Long Ago!!! And You shamed Us With That Thing You Call a GTO !!! SO TAKE NOTES, OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK AT WHAT DODGE AND FORD ARE DOING!!! DO IT RIGHT OR GET OUT OF THERE WAY!!!

EX. GM Buyer !

[...] Nooit geen fan geweest van amerikaanse auto’s, maar wat Dodge in Detroit voorstelde vorige maand is echt wel bruut: Dodge Challenger Concept. Dit schreeuwt gewoon roadmovie Het is gebaseerd op het model uit 1970 en wat mij betreft een geslaagde staaltje retro styling. Hebben! [...]

i was going to buy a srt10 dodge pick up now i want to buy a new challenger and its a standard to boot assume

i think this dodge is junk and that everone should go out and get a ford mustang because ford is were its at they will never steer you wrong.

dodge sucks my ass they should just shut the dam plant down and everone should go out and buy a ford they will never steer you wrong

I love the look of the new challenger. Does it come in black? I’m way in! This thing is gonna sell better than the precedding model. Give those Dodge people some props!!! Pardon my french, but Jordan at comment #32 {Which really isn’t a comment to the car}can go to hell. All who hate it, get a life!

If you want gas mileage, buy a Honda. This rocks. Those of you that own imports, no wonder you hate it, pick your doors up down the road…

The new dodge challenger is a way to bring back good memories about the musclecar

I have a new charger, I would trade it in for the challenger, Has anyone heard anything about a price yet?

PLEASE! Make it but ALL Carbon Fiber or Fiberglass BODY, not only the hood so that I dont have to ROTISSERIE it in another 35 years.

my wife knows nothing about cars…… So I’ll just admire it!!

I have been a Muscle Car fan for a long time. In particular a ‘68-’72 GM-A-body fan, but since i have seen the Challenger Concept car i may be swaying my opinions. I would definitely give the Mopar power a second look, especially if they do build it within the next year or 2. I do like the looks of both the Camaro concept and the Challenger concept and hopefully they will both be produced, at a reasonable cost. Mustang, Camaro and Challenger, i smell a new generation of Muscle Car wars brewing !!!!!!!!!

mr68chevy(Rich)

When I saw this car in the news paper I fell in love with it. I defintely brings back memorys of 60′S and 70′S. If the price is not way out line with other sports cars I will definatly be in a dealer to purchase one. I would trade in my 2000 Trans AM firebird for this car. The only other thing that would be sweeter is if you would bring back the 1969 Dodge Charger body style with a 440 magnum V8 super charger

Needs chrome bumpers. Looks like a Challenger hit a Comero and was rebuilt by a kid in a garage but he couldn’t afford the chrome.

i’m saving my money now. the car is wonderful as is!! if people cry about the price of gas,, ride a bike!!

The best feeling

-Running my new Challenger “Wide F #$%^&’n! Open” down the Dragstrip.
- The sound of my LOUD open 3.5 Inch exhaust Waking my neighbors and Shaking the pants off my competitors.
-Feeling the rush of power on my chest as I persuade through the gears to 174 mph.
-Waxing the beast on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
-Cruising the street, going to the cruise spot, and answering the questions and listening to people comment on it must be “Sweet” to own one.
-The worst feeling is waiting to get on a build list from Dodge.
-Nightmare: Seeing the car in a future Rap video on MTV.

Let us read from the top again, and smile @ the new memories to be made in America again.

HELP! i am looking for a 1972 Challenger RT 440 c.i. color blue. my husband ordered this car andwas drafted and never got to pick it up. i have tried in Denver to find it and can’t ~ can you help? thanks

When will the vehicle be available for purchase, and how could I be guaranteed an opportunity for purchase?

Will their be vehicle color options?

i going to spent my money for this car………..!

i love this car.i hope it will present in malaysia.best gile!!!!!!!!!!!!!hidup sepang.challenger kat sepang i can’t imagine…

mak bapak lawa gile.sent to malaysia please!!!!!!!!!!!

No offence, but what is the point of another retro muscle car now? Ford, Dodge, GM… they all seem to be ressurecting old models that were successes in the past. Someone needs to tell them all that the world has moved on, and they need some new, orignial ideas. like something that does slightly better than 20mpg

yeah i have always loved GM and had an eye on the old ‘70 302 Boss, but this car just made me wet in my pants. if i werent so broke id put money down for one. as for u rich guys telling us dreamers to grow up, shove it. its a free country, let us dream. what do u think the designers of the orginal did??? thats what i thought. as for the gas wieners, get in ur japcrap rice-burner, go nail a tree, and let us burn the oil we bought. great job chysler, uve just won me.

Awesome blog you have. I enjoyed reading it this evening.
Peace
TreeFrog

I will buy one! I just hope it’s a convertable with the pistol grip. I need to replace the one I regret selling at a young age. Hurry up and make it!!

FINALLY, A CHRYSLER PRODUCT WORTHY OF BUYING TO LEAVE ALL MY CHEVROLET DAYS BEHIND IN A BIG CLOUD OF DUST. I’M ON MY 30TH CHEVY I THINK AND LOVED EVERY ONE I REBUILT. HOWEVER I’M VERY DISSAPPOINTED IN MY NEW 2005 CHEVY(FIRST NEW CAR). I CAN’T WAIT FOR A SHOT AT A NEW CHALLENGER THE PAINT AND EMBLEMS WOULD HAVE TO BE CHANGED THOUGH. HEMI CUDA, ALL THE WAY BABY! THIS CAR IS JUST SCREAMIN FOR A 440 CID ROAD TEST. WHO CARES ABOUT THE NEW CAMARO IF YOU CAN GET ONE OF THESE?

YOU COULD MAKE BILLIONS IF YOU MAKE THEW CHALENGER CAUSE EVERYBODY WANTS ONE

I WOULD NEVER THINK OF BUYING A DODGE! DODGE MAKES THIS CAR ILL CHANGE MY MINE!!!! MAKE IT,THERES NO NEW CAR ON THE ROAD THAT CAN HOULD UP TO ITS APPEAL!!!

Kewl blog you got goin on up here.
Peace, JiggyWittit

Everybodies got an opinion… “fill body bags with our troops to supply gas for this car”?… Give it a rest. I spent 12 years in the military and rotted in that God-less pit of Hell known as Iraq for 14 months and completed 215 combat missions. Know what all the boys spent their “Hazardous Duty” pay on when they got home?… Mostly Mustangs, a few Jeeps, a couple BMW’s… a few of my boy’s even re-enlisted to go BACK as the pay is so lucrative. We don’t need you bleeding heart, liberal clowns looking out for us… we do just fine by ourselves… by the way, I’m buying one of these “gas guzzling troop killers” for myself… hope it’ll come in black… aint war Hell?

I want mine ’stretched’ like the ‘70, with a Dodge Viper V-10 and a four speed, oh…and can you paint it FJ6, with the T/A side exit exhaust?

Very Nice,
This is how Pontiac should have DESIGNED and built the G.T.O.

This is the first time that a manufactuer finally got it, you build a concept, give it the name of a true classic and you actually get it right for once. now days I think Chrysler is the only one that does get it.
What an amazing car. As to the guy complaining about gas milage, I sell Chrysler and the 6.1 STR hemi gets 19 hwy and combined 18.1, not to bad for 425hp, I’m in

I would give my left TESTICAL FOR THAT CAR! Enough to make a grown man cry!

Thanks Daimler Chrysler for not worrying about gas prices. There are still lots of people who just want to get out and have fun. The good old days is finally coming back. I will definetly buy one.

I HAVE ALLWAYS OWNED GREAT CLASSIC MUSCLE CARS AND I’M USED TO DRIVING REAL CARS THAT HAVE POWER AND FEED ON GAS. FOR EXAMPLE I HAVE OWNED A 65 GTO 67 RS CAMARO 67 MUSTANG GT FAST BACK AND NOW OWN A 66 AND 67 MUSTANG CONVERTIBLES AND I ALLWAYS DRIVE WHAT I LIKE AND NOT WHAT GAS PRICES FORCE ME TO DRIVE.. SO YOU LEAVE IT TO BEAVER GAS PRICE CRY BABY’S POLISH YOUR FORD ESCORTS AND BY YOUR McEDEES…BECAUSE I WILL BUY THE 1970 CHALLENGER AND I DON’T CARE WHAT THOSE STINKY CAMEL JOCKEYS DIRTY HEAD RAGS THINK BECAUSE I’M AN AMERICAN AND I CAN VOICE MY VOTE….THANK YOU MUCH

DRIVE WHAT YOU REALLY WANT AND STOP CRYING OVER GAS PRICES YOU SISSY

Chrysler needs to build this car. They need to build it just like it is above. I don’t want to see a watered down version of the above car like some car companies do. They actually produce something different than what the concept car was and everyone loved and I hate when they do that. I do not want to see a v-6 in this car like they did to the Mustangs either.

Great car, it has to be built. Must have 450 HP or more! Don’t change a thing.

I love, Love, LOVE this car. Dodge, give us this beast with a hot Hemi, some of the colour choices of 1970 like Plum Crazy with a white interior or Panther Pink for the wife, and I’ll buy two of them in cash right now!

Cool blog you have.
VW Auto Parts http://www.vwautopartspro.com

this is so bad ass,probably the best dodge ever made,like the 05 but old school bady!!!! so so sick

Must have

The new Challenger is awesome. They should come out with a new style 70 Charger R/T.

Cars would empty off the sales lot like a woman with diarrhea.

What about the Charger? You guys hit the nail squarely on the head and drove it clean though the board with the Challanger. The Challanger is retro done right. But how can you even think of calling a 4dr. a Charger. Retro is in, and since you blew the Mustang out of the barn and now Camaro is trying to figure out what it wants to do, its time to bring back a real Charger (2dr., open grill, strong rear fender decks, maybe counter sink the rear window, and you guys already know what to do with the motor). I’m suffering from a midlife crisis so lets get going.

This new Dodge car looks more like the original car then what the chargers do

I hope that the Dodge Company will remake the Charger so that it looks like a 1968-1969 charger then the cars would probably sell better if they looked like the original chargers did these new one are the magnum without all of the space in it

6.1 L Hemi…outrageous.
Better get on the waiting list now.
Nice design Dodge!

I used to be strictly a GM car guy untill they started making BLAND a household word. Then I heard about the new Camaro concept and took a look at it.
Gone is the sleek look of the older models and in with CHUNKY BUTT.
Now Chrysler is bringing out the Challenger Concept.
Okay, so it’s Mercedes Benz – but it is ten times the styling attempt by GM. This car is sleek and incorporates as much technology as they can cram into it. note to Daimler Chrysler — BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME.
With cars the like of which they are building or planning too, it is no wonder that D-B is eating GM’s and Ford’s lunch.

P.S.

This car loks more like a 1970’s challenger than it did in 1970 — and that was one fine looking automobile.

Only BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only one word to describe this car BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a 13 year old from wilkes county and ever cence i saw my dads 68 charger and 70 corrnet 500 convertable imve been hooked most kids my age like supras and sions with no shape. if the car is not american made i would rather walk than drive a toyota of nissan dodge and ford is all i would drive

ONET

I HAVE A LAZER SMALL BLOCK 84, AND I AM WAITING FOR THIS CAR.

[...] This is what the remake of the Dodge Challenger should’ve looked like from the get-go. The current Challenger is fugtasticly ugly. « A guilty man left alone in an interrogation room goes to sleep   [...]

I hear now they are not building this car Ill buy a mustang.
Dodge you blew it ..

DODGE WILL NOT BE BUILDING THIS CAR THIS IS FROM THE CEO …THEY LITERALLY JUST PUT IT TOGETHER TO SHOW FORD THEY CAN COMPETE ,BUT WONT AND CANT .TOTALLY LAME!

I ORDERED MY NEW GT STANG(LOADED) LAST WEEK 3-4 MONTH WAIT.

I drove from Birmingham to Detroit and was waiting in line on saturday morning when the auto show opened at Cobo just so I could get an unobstucted view…I love what I saw and would definately trade in my high line German car for a Challenger…DCM please build this car and email me as to where to send my deposit….Sincerly I remain AL PHILLIPS

Rock ON!!!

I’m also an ultra-liberal, eviro-tree-hugging-earth-first, 40 something, hard working, tax paying guy, and while I agree that America should specialize in hybrids for the average Joe or Josephine, it’s probably good for the US to ALSO produce cars that some people (not all) will choose over the imports. If the imports still have the market because of reliability and fuel economy, let’s at least give them a run for their money on COOLNESS!!

I’m buying one and parking it RIGHT NEXT to my hybrid. Fuel economy during the week (think Planet first!), and hauling ass and having fun on the weekends.

Now if I can only find a way to convince my better half that this is a smart move, if for no other reason than it helps the US economy…

I owned and drove a 1970 Challenger convertible for 19 years–and loved it. the thing finally got to be worth so much money I couldn’t drive it on the street for fear some idiot would run a stop sign or something….FYI, people, big anti-sway bars and putting the battery in the TRUNK, ala- Direct Connection did wonders for the handling–THIS IS ONE AWESOME CAR–worthy of the OLD Chrysler corporation–only maybe the new one won’t leak behind the glove box? If WE all say please loud enough–D-C will build this sucker–and I want mine in Starlight Blue Sunfire Metalic–the old K-7 code!
with the pistol grip the rag top and the Beach Boys in the CD! we old guys gotta have fun too!

Det finns hopp för mänskligheten!

If you decide to make this car I’m going to try my best to own one,that is if they don’t cost a fortune.The car is unreal!Can’t wait!

i would like to say that this car is amazing!!!!! as a owner of a 97000 original mile 69 charger, i like many mopar freaks WILL have one of these. also, a new charger would be nice if only in 2DOOR!!!

A dream car … I was raised among muscle cars – My father owned three Javelins and his best friend owned one 440 Dodge Charger R/X and one Dodge Challenger – Beautiful machines by then…The target might be people that love muscle cars and are not concerned about gas expenditures… I love the concept and I know it will be a great looking car if they stick to what they are showing now… I would love to have more details about the real gas efficiency… I am a hybrid fan (own two of them) however this one for sure will get my attention…

You know if they don’t produce this thing as it is, they don’t have a hair on their ass. Whoever decided that the new charger needed four doors needs the sh*t slapped out of them. I’ll buy it if it looks that good at the dealership.

IT IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR. THEY REALLY NEED TO BUILD IT, WE AREN’T GOING TO DRIVE IT DAILY SO THE GAS WON’T BE A PROBLEM. IT IS A FANTASTIC LOOKING CAR AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD LUV TO HAVE ONE SITTING IN THEIR GARAGE BUT DON’T WAIT TOO LONG AND HAVE CHEVY OR FORD MAKE A BETTER CAR BEFORE YOU COME OUT WITH THIS ONE. IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL BUY IT. GAS PRICES OR NOT. AMERICA IS WAITING FOR ANOTHER REAL RETRO CAR. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE YET. FORD TRIED BUT ONLY CAME CLOSE. HOW MANY MILLIONS OF BABY BOOMERS WITH MONEY WILL LINE UP AND WILLINGLY PAY A PRICE FOR A VERY GOOD RETRO CAR. THEY PAY BIG FOR THE REAL THING (70′S), IF THEY COULD FIND ONE.

DO US ALL A FAVOR AND BUILD IT.

IT WILL BE PARKED RIGHT NEXT TO THE 73′ CHALLENGER I CURRENTLY HAVE.

please put this car into production, I was looking for an oldschool but, i’m going to have to hold off so I can put the new challenger in my garage. Nothing would be cooler to cruise down the road with my beautiful wife and my boys in the backseat, having a good time playing around with all that car. I can’t wait please put this car out, you have put a serious dream into my future. Thanks for your time, i’ll be waiting, Dave

why does alot of american car companies always go for the retro look? isn’t it time we moved foward?

Dodge, please make this car and make it soon. The positive reaction to this Challenger far, far outweighs any negative opinion, and even people that know nothing about the original car, love this new concept. I wasn’t around to buy one in 1970, and seeing how unaffordable vintage Challengers and ‘Cudas were becoming for the average guy, I was lately starting to feel that I had missed one of the great automotive experiences of all time. But suddenly a new hope blossomed!!! Passing by a magazine stand, an amazing picture and the words “Dodge Challenger Returns” caught my eye. Wow! Suddenly things were looking up. I felt a sense of automotive optimism I hadn’t felt in a long time. Muscle cars, especially Mopars, now have an everlasting place in the American dream. And their magic has spread around the world. I dream of driving a new Dodge Challenger along an open road and off into the sunset. Please make my dream come true. (p.s. My wife says if it comes in Panther Pink, she wants one too.)

as i know this is Challenger R/T, what abiut SRT?

Nice Concept, but I’d Much rather have an ACCORD.

when is this thing coming out

[...] Edit: This car got some nice lines as well. It’s the Dodge Challanger Concept. Obviously the american car manufacturers like doing new versions of old classic musclecars. Well I don’t know what to think of that, but at least they are easy on the eyes! [...]

As more time goes on more and more news is surfacing that shows this thing is going to hit production.

For those of you interested in discussing the vehicle, be sure to check out:

http://www.challengertalk.com

yes but will they make it affordable car should be in the mid 30,s if in 40,s they can keep it.

this is awesome

i have got to get one, i wish they would come out sooner cause i get my licenses!! i love what they have done, its going to be a top sale!!!

http://www.srtmopar.com/hemiblog/?permalink=471

It’s about time there is another challeger, that car with the “HEMI” will be a big hit!! what we call a truely american

This isnt a range Rover site, I suggest ya go find one. Mopar is what we wanna here about

I love cars period……….Doesn’t everyone love this Challenger I do!! I have already started saving for my baby!!! I have never even felt this way about a car but the smooth distinguishing lines and simplicity makes it all work. I just love EVERYTHING they have done to the car the WHOLE engine bay, the interior and the exterior are the greatest. I WILL BE on the streets with this one boys and when you see the Orange matching colored rims you know its me…… “That Thing Got A Hemi?” Your about to find out bubba!!

DODGE SUCKS

I think that they need to make this a 2006 production car because everbody is waiting for them to be on the market for sale.

dodge is gay

awesome car,I want to order one.

I love the pics of this car, but i was turned off when i saw it in real life at the New York Auto Show. the body is really high/tall, and looks really narrow. the back end has got to be reshaped. but with some rework i could appreciate it.

Build it. It will sell. Be part of the resurgence in American cars that don’t suck.

that rear is too retro. yes, it is traditional but looks to much retro

I got to see the Challenger in person 2 weeks ago, Dodge brought it to a local weekly exotic car show at crystal cove, even chip foose was there. weird. anyways, i really did like the overall look of it, however it looked a lot shorter in person for some reason. the pictures weve all seen make it out to be a lot longer.

at any rate, i loved it. and i would love to test drive it

Can I get some hood pins from the factory on this? I LOVE HOOD PINS! I would like to see more of a Rallye wheel and the pistol grip gear shifter too. And since I am still old school – where is the spoiler? Viva la MOPAR!! : P

THIS CAR IS VERY COOL AND FAST!!! IT LOOKS LIKE A CAR THAT YOU CAN BURN RUBBER IN ALL DAY LONG PS CAN’T WATE TO GET ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the car man it is the best

I owned a 1970 Challenger SE Small rear window vinyll top ****pit interior center console 318 enginebought in 1970 of showroom floor in Washington state. That was the most reliable car I ever owned plus I had a custom frame tow hitch added and it towed my house hold items around with me (Military lifer) until I retired in 1982. I gave it to my step son for his 16th birthday and he still has it and I cant get back from him. Oh well my loss. But the concept car really looks awesome and should be a proud addition to the dodge family.

MUCH BETTER THAN THE UGLY CHARGER!

IVE HAD 9 CAMARO Z28S IN MY LIFE AND HAVE AN SS NOW,BUT I FEL LIKE A TRAITOR NOW BECAUSE I DESIRE THIS BAD MUTHA *^%$#@!! CHALENGER IS WAY COOL!THE DESIGN STAFF CAN TAKE A VACATION NOW.WAY TO GO DODGE!.

its a nice looking car but it just shows chrysler needs some new ideas fast. The PT Cruiser is a joke car in Europe and the caliber aint gonna sell there either

Keep screwing around and waiting Dodge, while Ford is soaking up sales with the Mustang GT and Cobra.
Build the Challenger !!!!

All you people talking about religion, war and gas guzzlers, chill out. Not everyone has unlimited funds either, so get a grip. This is a car, a very beautiful car. I can`t wait to see this baby in person. I was one of the very few girls in my town to have a muscle car in the 70`s. RS `70 Camaro split bumper-how many people remember those? This is an awesome looking ride! HURRY UP! This car needs to sit next to my `89 Vette and `50 Panhead. I REALLY want this car.

Heritage design is so played out

Oh look! I’m number 378!

How many agree this is one of the best looking concept cars they have ever seen

My brother In-law brought an Challanger 1970 440 six pack 2 4carb at one time the fastest car in Seattle, WA he love the car, that was when they put an $100 dollar bill on the dash broad, not long ago he suffer an stroke I would love to pull up in front of his home show him the new Challanger to bring back the good days one more time.

Comment by chuck h, posted on January8 at 2:15 pm

NO, I BELIEVE THAT IS GEORGE (W) BUSH AND HIS CROOKED CABINET YOU SPEAK OF!! Sorry, I am going to order one as soon as I am able to do so…. Complete with the HEMI!!!

well done dodge I have not owned many but i would definatly own the challenger and to you japaneeeese car lovers go choke on some rice and fish americans should buy american period!!!!

You obnoxious Yanks better send that stiffy-inducing Jap-import-eater over here to Australia.

It’s only fair, you got OUR Monaro (that machine you guys badged as the new Pontiac – Made right here in Australia).

That’s a sweet machine you guys have got there, I can only hope a few make it over here as right-hand-drive imports (you know, the side 90% of the worlds population drive on? Oh don’t mind me, I just think left-hand-drive, imperial measurements and Bush are three things the world can do without)

Ha! (but can you still put me down for one?)

I happened to catch a couple comments about our soldiers, and what’s happening to them in relation to gas prices? My question for you tree-hugging low-grade morons is when did you serve? By getting a car like this we are contributing to terrorism? Again yet another instance of an un-educated idiot. The majority of big media only lets you know what the have for a perspective, and a slanted one at that. This car is beautiful, plain and simple. And as for the Mustang comments, production – how many pony cars had freakin’ useless six cylinders for motors? And the new GT 500? How about the fact this car will pass your top-end in 5th gear? Don’t get me wrong, Ford did an exceptional job in it’s recreation of an automotive icon. To the point I almost thought of the ultimate sin, buying one. Four E-bodies in my history and to have one of these would almost be a dream come true. Don’t tease us Powers-that-Be at Chrysler.

i own a 1970 ta challenger and a 1970 grandcoupe cuda and cant wait for the new challenger we a new cuda also victor in arizona

If you price this right / I will buy. Great car! It’s about time!!!!

2009 & 1/2 CUDA 5 SPEED TURBO HEMI PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

We had a 71 charger. Loved that car. Hope the Challanger will meet the love of the 71 Charger!!!!!
The new Charger dosen’t move me at all. Bring back the
old days, you will sell a lot more even with the gas prices as they are. We will give up the Lexus and the Explorer for the Challanger.

old-school-style, very nice, they should build it

MOPAR….GIVE US THIS NEW MUSCLE CAR!!!

Is the clutch hydrolic, cable or electronic?

I’d like to first say that I’ve always been a loyal GM buyer. In fact, my dream car has always been a ‘69 Trans Am! I thought GM made a BIG mistake when they discontinued the Camaro & Firebird lines. Then I saw the new Mustang & thought WOW!! I’m switchin’ to FORD!! But after seeing this Challenger, I’m afraid Ford AGAIN takes a backseat! The Camaro BOMBED! The Mustang was a step in the right direction. But THIS is a giant LEAP!! If you build it, they will come!! Wallets WIDE open!!

Can I Buy the proto-type?

proto type camero..just doesn’t look right…should have followed a ‘67 more closely…..I have already submitted my deposit on the Challenger in Orlando Florida (in the event the car is built )..I am a baby boomer who is about to blow my 403b..what the hell

fur hundresd thts what i thn

I was hoping to buy a1970 dodge challenger untill i heard that dodge was coming out with a new challenger in 07 or 08 please let me know if this is definite. and at what price range. I will purchase one. Thank you Joe B

Mopar?
oh I get it
Mostly
Old
Parts
And
Rust

I’ll buy one if they let the japanese look it over first to make sure it will last past a hundred thousand miles, but I’m still trying to figure out wh dodge, ford, and chevy ever bothered adding a sixth digit to their odometers. I could care less about gas mileage though, that’s the price of fun, and this war has nothing to do with oil.

We are talking about a beautiful car here. Not about milking chickens or world peace, not that either belong on this forum. Make THIS CAR sane people will buy it! Car lovers ONLY. Weirdo’s not appreciated. Personal oppinion, I want THIS car.

416, I like that number.

holy **** that car is beautiful!

I may be only 16 years old, but I pray to God that I will own that car someday! untill then, I’ll be counting the seconds.

Yep Nathan,you are OFICIALLY a piece of ****!Just stick to your small,gay looking,underpowered Japanese car that sounds like a swarm of mosquitoes.Screw you and your fart canned buddies!

They should bring back the style of the 80 thur 85 cadillac eldorados, they are a eye catcher i am sure they would sell and help General Motors a lot in car sells. A lot of people still like those old eldorados if only they would build them back again.

I want one of these bad boys so bad! I am just hoping and praying that Dodge learns a lesson from Ford when it comes to prices. The Ford dealers are out of hand on the price for the Shelby GT-500.

General Motors. Please pay attention to the competition. I was raised with the money that my dad earned while he was a Chevrolet Motor Division employee. His (if I said it now) name would be recognized by all current employees on the East Coast.
Please take a hint at what is happening here. The Follower(as far as muscle cars go) is leading one of the leaders 40 years later. Please figure out something , other than the 2006 GTO to combat these 6 cylinder Mustangs that I see everywhere, and have something ready for the Mopar boys. This car is nothing to snooze at like the Mustang. The Mopar guys are serious about the performance, not the “look”.
Lets see a kick ass Camaro come out in time to diminish the shine of this car. Besides, I now have the money to buy the car I want, the Camaro! Ray

when this car comes out, I dont think I,ll call myself chevygirl anymore. looks way better than the camaro, but dodge is stupid for releasing that ugly charger

I owned a 1970 Challenger 383 Magnum SE (Special Edition) in red & white – very fast, good top end (140 stock) and great handling thanks to torsion bar front suspension.

I also used to own a ‘71 AMC Gremlin, and would love to see the new Challengers offer a hatchback with a fold-down rear seat. The pics shown here most closely resemble the ‘71 Challenger of ‘Cuda I believe.

A person would think they’d be able to offer a lighter curb weight – 2500 lbs or less. Actually, I’d like to see them take the new “Smart Car” that they got from Mercedes Benz, and make “IT” look like a Challenger – lower the top height, and put the “trunk” space all up front to preserve the look of a long hood, which would provide for a larger crumple zone too.

American made,
American muscle,
the American way.
WTF more do you want? I’ll bet that most every solder in the Middle East would LOVE to come home to something like this myself included!!!!
Dodge BLEW IT with the Charger. I had a 72, black with the red side stripes, rolled it trying to elope.
GAWD WAS I FRIGGIN STUPID.
That is all.

I owned a 1972 Dodfge Challenger and had no problems, other than a stater going out. Sold it in 1975 and have regretted it ever since. A 340- 4 barrel
with positive trac rear end. The color was red with a black canvis top.

I’m interested in the new Challenger and what it will do on mileage and durability.
My 1972 would be forth $20,000.00 if I still had it.

POODLES ARE NICE CAUSE THEY CAN FIT IN THE HOUSE

SHABANG boys!!! this new challenger is da bomb! YIR! man i can wait to get my hands on that piece of ass! Just upset about the 6.1! not because i’m an environmentalist, but because i’m a broke student who happen to love these lovely beasts! screw my tuition, i need that orange beauty! i can always challenge my friends and others with my challenger and win some money that way, cuz no one will be stoppin’! besides 5-0 if they can catch me….

I can’t wait until this stupid retro craze goes out of fashion! Good car makers are straying away from the right design path, because a few nincompoops out there want a car that’s a 60’s wannabe!!

No, you are wrong,Srivatsa.The Baby Boomers hit a sweet spot,and not just with cars,but with almost everything they touched(and continue to touch).By the way,my friend,you think this planet will last another twenty years?(Without a nose smashing paradigm swing?)Wow.You really are BLOODY ignorant!You just proved my point.

first, to all the whiners out there on gasguzlers and nonsense, whaaahhhh whaaahhh!!!!! now, the subject at hand. “the dodge challenger” i started out on chevy’s, but was swiftly corrected at age 17 by my pop who had a pro stock 69 coronet rt named “the tazmanian devil” needless to say my enthusiasm came alive. shortly we got his 70 baracuda and 70 chalenger rt,440-4speed and i have been fixed since. i can’t wait to see this in the flesh. awesome!!! now,the charger, get that 4 door pos back into the design room and don’t come back out until it’s a 2door 69 retro as unveiled before–or at least a retro of the chargers. hey, rebadge the charger a coronet as the 71 was a 4door and then build a 2door retro charger. i own a 72 and would love to see it, just the same, awesome move.

ps hey, what in the heck does new england clam chowder have to do with this car? as far as people’s hostility,it’s too bad. the car still rock. and as far as our guys fighting, which i support them unconditionally, they need to be avenged and what better a way than old fashioned car muscle. way to goooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The originators of the Hemi.Drag racing engine.

The interior is ridiculously good the way they have mooned what Srivatsa was writing about(current convention).

Great looking car. I think the hood should be reshaped a little so it does not cover the round headlights at the top and maybe a little better styled tail lights, but over all a great looking car. I also hope the Dodge dealers do not do what Ford dealers currently are doing with the 2007 GT500 Mustang Cobras, selling them to the highest bidder for $80,000 +. The MSRP for that stang is $41,000 and the dealers are selling them for 2-3 times over the MRSP. Ford should put a stop to this. I currently own a 1998 Mustang Cobra and I am disappointed in Ford not clamping down on the Ford dealers in ripping off the public. I am thinking when Dodge and GM puts out the Challenger and Camaro, the Ford GT Mustang Cobra will drop off in price (I hope). I will be keeping my eye on this car for 2008, would love to drive one!

Chyslers has made the best car ever. Ill take mine in Plum Crazy Purple with a 392 and a 6 speed pistol grip shifter.

In response to 444. Why don’t you take your imaginary money and deposit in the Bank of Bahrain? They deal with almost anybody. You don’t need an American for you to deposit your fake $10,000,000.00 (ten million dollars). We know what ten million dollars is stupid. You don’t need to spell it out to us. That is what the $ sign is for. Nice try on the name trick. Lillien Dumas. What do you think, I must be a dumbass?

omg… this car is awsome! i want 2 get it when i grow up!!!! it is soooooooooo cool!

last word

in 1977 got a congeust tsi wife gone in1992 got astealth rt give up drinking in 1998 i well get a chellerger that old dog is gone gone gone

When I heard, read and saw a picture of the Challenger I immediately called my local dealer and asked if I could put my name on the waiting list I always wanted a 70 challenger or cuda this will do rather nicely, cannnnnnnnnnnnnn’t wait.

I have nothing interesting to say…
But by the look of things neither does anyone else.
Have a nice day, my friends.

love this car!!!!!!

PEOPLE PEOPLE!!! Your not all thinking with your head! Stop bashing the Charger, not every mid-life crisis guy can buy a 2 door like this awesome challenger. You think chrysler would just leave us burnt with the 4-door charger for the American working man with 2 kids! HECK NO but if your a person with 2 kids and wouldnt dream or a 2 door I think the charger is a sporty car with lots of power! BOTH cars are home runs. Although i’d like to see the chargers rear apperence beafed up a bit. looks like they took a r&d shortcut! But nonetheless i’d buy a charger over a ford 500 or chevy malibu ANYDAY!

were do i leave my deposit? it’s about time old scool meets new school. 2008 needs to hurry up.

Love the car, how much is it & when can I order one?

SPEECHLESS!!!! WOW !!!! JUST MAKE IT AFFORDABLE!!!! P.S. IF YOU DONT BUILD THIS CAR I WILL SELL EVERY MOPAR IN MY GARAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good good good!

Better than ever !

I think this new car design sucks……if you’re going to bring back and old car, dont screw around with the body. The 1970 challenger was a beautiful car. I’m 17 and my frist car is a 1968 chevelle and I plan on getting a 1970 challenger after I finish this one…this new car seems nice but don’t call it a challenger, the only thing that resembles the challenger is the tailights and (although messed up completely) the body line…..if you like the way an old car looked, buy an old car and restore it..this snot-bubbled with wheels does not compare in any way to the classic muscle cars……

oh and for those saying that the gas guzzler is killing soldiers…how old are you?..some overwieght middle aged man? maybe….if you support them so much go join the war don’t complain that a car is killing them, it’s ignorant idiots like you…..

IF IT AINT A MOPAR IT AINT A CAR THATS ALL.

I would like to say It is a beautiful car, But how bout the chevy Boe-tie Camaro!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes yes now we are talking cars chrysler!!!!!!!!! manufacture this baby please

Where will the Challanger be built?
I need a garge mate for my 1973 challanger.

i luv it

is is faster than my 70 T/A with a 496 ci

the 2008 challenger is the best and closest to the old school new car ive ever seen to date!aawwwssome!love the curves on this one i want to do the new comercial on tv call me 408 629-8965

had a 1970 challenger, lost it in my divorce,(which was 7 years after they quit making them)(may her legs grow together). I started drooling when i heard and saw my musle machine might be comming back. i know for a fact if dodge would have started to build these a few years back (when ford started changing the mustang bodies and engines)there would not be as many mustangs on the road today. My wife now drives a 2005 mustang gt conv., and my father in law has a 1998 roush (with a kenny bell super charger),i will buy this challenger and put a few tricks under the hood, and i will be the one laughing at the finsh line. i just hope they decide to let us get the 6.6 hemi/6 speed tranny.

I hear they arent buildingit then I hear they are wtf Dodge get off your asses before all the baby bomber cash is gone and spent on mustang gt’s
I hear now its slated for 2008.
Anyone hear any thing else?
Ill own one that is for sure and put it next to my C5 vette in my 5 car garage.

They have to offer it in alpine white! A vanishing point edition would be great marketing,not to mention awsome tv spots.
They could sweep the retro car market with this car ands hut down the mustang big time.

Its a go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2008 early that year they are rollong this car out read below..
Im on the list at ny local dealer already.
I have a magnum hemi awd and love it and this car will join my c5 vette and magnum in the garage soon enough.
6.1 is a bit much,horrible gas mileage 6 mpg city 12 hgwy.

I prefer a standard hemi 5.7,with auto stick .
Alpine white!!!!!!

Kowalski lives!

2008 Dodge Challenger

Late in the 2005 Calendar year blurry pictures began to surface of what many believed to be the next big thing from Daimler Chrysler Corporation. The muscular, bright orange car strongly resembled the e-body based Plymouth Barracuda and Dodge Challenger of the early 1970s, but with a sort of modernized feel. Rumors were rampant and in early January 2006 DCX made it official that the new Dodge Challenger Concept would be showcased at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, later that month. They made good on that promise as the centerpiece of Dodge’s huge section was a glowing beauty that was the new Challenger Concept.

While this picture may not accurately portray the massive crowds surrounding the car at almost all times during the public viewing days, many found it difficult to get near the new pony car concept while the Challenger made its week-long NAIAS debut. That same excitement was obvious in the press as just about every automotive media source, from internet blogs and forums to the big name motoring magazines worldwide featured the Challenger, even though little information was available at that time. The only real information numbers available were the very basics such as the specifications and estimated performance numbers.

Over the months following the debut of the Challenger, speculations of what ‘could be’ with the revamped classic were available all over the internet, and just as discussions began to die down, the Challenger popped up at a handful of car shows on the west coast, and then at a huge Mopar show at the Walter P Chrysler Museum.

Again, rumors flew over when the new car would be announced, as the public and the media alike were certain that this modern muscle car would find its way to the showroom floors of your neighborhood Dodge dealership. One of the most popular rumors, which may have been forgone since it made its way to the public well before its time, was that the Challenger would be debuted at the Woodward Dream Cruise in Metro Detroit, which is a massive rolling car show, but on June 30, 2006 newspapers hit the stand, from the Detroit Free Press to the Wall Street Journal; the Challenger was “a-go”, and it would be made official the following day at the Pepsi 400 NASCAR race at Daytona International Speedway. Mopar faithful and the performance world eagerly waited as there was a short presentation with NASCAR Legend Richard Petty, current NASCAR and Dodge Motorsports star Kasey Kahne, and Chrysler Group President and Chief Executive Officer Tom LaSorda, and with them was a 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A. Among the display there was a starting line-like setup, and with the throaty roar of the 6.1L Hemi engine, the Challenger Concept drove around from behind two large semi trailers and Mr. LaSorda waived a green flag, and made the move of the Dodge Challenger from Concept to a production vehicle official.

While full details are still somewhat sketchy, what we do know per Mr. LaSorda’s comments during and following the official announcement, is that the Challenger will be released as a 2008 model, and it should hit the showrooms early in the 2008 Calendar year. What we are yet to know for sure are things like what aspects of the Concept will be excluded from the production model, production numbers, and retail price. While it is assumed that the 6.1L Hemi engine and manual transmission displayed in the concept will make their way to production, it is unknown whether other engines will be offered. However, DCX’s new marketing campaign of “ask Dr. Z” in which questions pertaining to the corporation can be directed to Dieter Zetsche, the head of Daimler Chrysler, has opened up to some interesting information. When the question of ‘what engines will be offered in the 2008 Challenger’ is sent in to their inquiry address, this is the reply:

“Dear Patrick:
Thanks for contacting Dr. Z. Your message has been forwarded to us for response. The all-new Dodge Challenger will make its debut as a 2008 model, in calendar-year 2008. It will have the available 5.7-liter or SRT-engineered 6.1-liter HEMI® V-8 engines coupled to either a five-speed manual transmission or five-speed automatic transmission with Auto Stick”

While this bit of information is not exactly official, it does come from a member of the DCX marketing team, so it would lead one to believe that the Challenger will be offered in multiple trim lines. It is assumed that Dodge is releasing the Challenger in 2008 anticipating the release of the Chevrolet Camaro, which is also currently just a concept, but GM executives have said that the Camaro will make it to production in the coming years.

All in all, this announcement and the information surrounding it paint a promising image of a new alternative for both lifelong Mopar enthusiasts and performance car buyers to cars such as the Ford Mustang, and the Pontiac GTO. It appears as though even with fuel prices getting increasingly higher, we are in for another exciting horsepower war, similar to that of the 1960s and 1970s, and this one is rapidly shaping up to be every bit as thrilling as the past horsepower war. Now, all you have to ask yourself, is do you wish to enter that war yielding the 4.6L packed automotive equivalent of a handgun, or a 6.1L packed automotive equivalent of a Sherman tank? The Challenger is a-go and while it will be roughly a year and a half before it becomes available we are certain that this new weapon in the horsepower war will make a lasting impression on its opponents.

What is its price?

NOT BAD!!! I’ll take mine in lime green and lets make it a convertible. Will Dodge offer convertibles in ‘08??? I want one now!!!

Please make Green go Green come back from 1970!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If i get word of it being an option, or at least a color close ( as in the 2007 Charger Daytona lime green color) I will sell my car right now and pre- order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This car is what us Muscle Car guys has been waiting for.I will buy one of these!It’s got the same look as the old Challenger but looks like CHIP FOOSE updated it.I also hope Dodge has it available in the old colors like ( Plum Crazy Purple,Hemi Orange etc.) and well the HEMI is a plus.NOW FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HATE CARS AND TRUCKS THAT DONT GET EXCELLENT GAS MILEAGE,SCREW OFF!Muscle cars never did get as good of mileage as family type cars.NON OF THESE ANTI-GAS IDIOTS HAVE TO BUY ONE,SO LEAVE US ALONE THAT DO LIKE THESE TYPE OF CARS OR TRUCKS.BLAME THE OIL COMPANYS AND THE GOVERNMENT,THEY ARE THE ONES THAT GOT THE PRICES THIS WAY.WHEN THESE IDIOTS PAY FOR MY CAR,GAS AND INSURANCE THEN THEY CAN TELL ME WHAT TO DRIVE!!
Mopar and Dodge hit it big on this one…2 THUMBS UP!!
