nice excpet for the escape pipes i dont like how they look

back to the rumor that the ‘concept’ is actually an S0 or S1 prototype.

That’s awesome!

Too bad its ugly next to the Stunning Camaro

why the hell does car company rascism exsist? both the camaro and the challenger look very good. if i have the money, I will be testing each car + the newest mustang together, and decide on who is better then, not just because the badge they wear. Car and Criver will help out too!

the camaro looks like a womens car!!!

I’m with Scotty… can’t we all just get along!? I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today…. OH yeah, that People will judge cars based on their merits and not on their badges.

I knew that ever since the Challenger “concept” was introduced last year that it was more of a ‘pre-production’ car than a concept like the Camaro. I’m glad to hear it will look just like the concept. The Camaro on the other hand will undergo alot of changes to make it legal. Both exterior and interior of the Camaro will change.

“I have a dream today…. OH yeah, that People will judge cars based on their merits and not on their badges.”

This won’t happen until manufactuers market their products that way. These days your marketing needs to be as good (or better than) your actual product.

chevy needs to make the camaro any way im gettin the camaro if they make it

I wanna get me a Camaro too! Imagine my Mullet flappin in the breeze with my 2 cent hooker in the passenger seat crankin “Achy Breaky Heart”! The chicks are going to go gaga over my Camaro

Is it going to weigh as much as the concept, too? If so, it’s really gonna need that 6.6l hemi.

Personally I think the challenger looks much better then both the Mustang and Camaro. Saying that even though the Challenger was almoct production ready unlike the camaro which was pure concept. When the comaro comes out it will look alot more softer and probably the worse looking of the three.

#13. LOLOLOLOL!

the challenger is deff the purist interpretation of “retro” of the 3 muscle cars. Which is why i think it is so talked about, it has that generic musclecar look to it. and it pulls it off really well. i think alot of the camaros intrest is more in the Name itself rather then the car. They could have badged any 2dr rwd car “Camaro” and ppl would flock to it. though i think the deisgn is really well done also. and i think the Mustang is the best of both worlds, great shape and more history then you can shake a stick at

Anyone know where I can get some IROC-Z stickers and rear window Louvers for my new Camaro?

they will still screw it up

good insight James. :rolleyes:

#19. LOLOLOLOL!

I have to stop reading these comments.

I like em all. #13 what part about 6.6 litres is not going to pull whatever wheight is on it? Oh and do I get a giant flaming eagle on the hood of the camaro are do I have to wait for the Pontiac’s Firebird incarnation of this? And what about the shaker hood for the Challenger? Mustang should also do the California Special for the Mustang right? A fin on the back sequential tail light blinkers, skirt kit. Why isn’t anyone else saying this stuff?

#18. Don’t forget about the heavy gold chains and the inability to drive. Even worse, the inability to corner.

Rich, theres already a Cali Spec version of the Stang. See http://www.seriouswheels.com for pictures.

Will it have a vinyl roof option?

/I’m going to my dealer and putting cash down next week

Ok…#13, ” I got my Joe Dirt mullet all picked out’, you and I see this car as fun. Hell yeah!I Got an Old School Drag in mindwaitin to race yer Camaro.

Cool.. I’ve always wanted what would eventually end up being a $45,000 Chrysler

Of course it will. They already made the exact same body 35 years ago.

American kicka$$, however I would still buy a BMW even if they are alot more.

You GM guys don’t get the picture because, all of us here know the Challanger is better looking than the Camaro, and you all know who you are and I believe y’all are scared of what Mopar can pull out of its hat.

I think Plymouth should be revived just so a new Barracuda could be made.

the Challenger is a limited edition $45,000+ car. the Mustang and Camaro both will have an expansive price *range*… from low $20k to $50k or more. that is. the Camaro and Mustang are *mass-market* cars…. the Challenger is not.

Well said #34.

Word on the street is that the Challenger starting MSRP will be what a loaded Mustang GT is going for, around $36K

the SRT8 Charger is 38k i cant see the challenger being cheaper then that. 30,000 untis/year, brand new engine, no shared sheet metal/interior. its going to be pricy..im gonna say $45,000

According to several sources, Chrysler is trying to decide on which strategy to follow: a high-price, low-volume run, or a high-volume, lower-price run. Also in flux is the question of engines – restricting to just the Hemi, or allowing both the Hemi and at least one V6. However, a manual transmission will be available along with an automatic, each having five speeds; an SRT-8 version will have the 6.1 Hemi while the stock Challenger will have the 5.7 Hemi (no, they will not have the new crate Hemi, nor did we expect them to). At this point we believe there will be a first-year run of about 50,000 Hemi equipped Challengers, possibly with automatics, followed by a smaller run of Hemi Challenger SRT-8 cars with manual transmissions.

pretty sure it was annouced a few weeks ago it would be V8 only. and limited to 30,000 units

http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/07/04/brampton-to-build-30000-challengers-yearly/

30,000 per year, manual V8 only. and they would be fools to put a 5spd in it. it needs 6spd.

Sorry, but nothing is set in stone yet. Some at DCX want the Challenger to be a Mustang fighter and to compete in that market with variants, Others at DCX want it to be a limited exclusive halo car for Dodge. Trust me on this.

unless you have some proof im sticking with the article i posted.

Seen ANY Ford or GM crap sell at any BIG auctions for 6, even 7 figures lately?
Enough said!

I work for DCX and that is all I will say.

I thought the Viper was the halo car?

Why people always say “I work for them, I know…” I’ve worked for big compaines and just because I was there everyday didn’t mean I was in on thier secrects. And what did post #41 have to do with anything? Just beacuse people you work with want something doesn’t mean anything as they also aren’t an important part of DCX’s decision making process.

The only reason I doubt everything you said is beacuse you mentioned that it will have a 5-speed manual. Don’t be stupid! There is no way that any auto manufacturer is going to produce a 5-speed in a $30,000 car. Especially when the only high hp car that they had with a manual has had a 6-speed since it came out 14 years ago. So if your info says 5-speed then its just wrong.

I work for DCX and that is all I will say.

again, that doesnt mean anything to me. when allt he reports coming out about the car say it will be a V8 manual why shold i belive someone on the interent??? i guess we will jsut have to wait and see…

Yes, wait and see.

From the comments here implying that the camaro is a car designed solely for rednecks and hillbillies, I’m guessing you all have forgotten about a certain popular tv series featuring the challenger with a slew of moonshine-smuggling yokels? They’re both nice attempts at jumping on this retro bandwagon and I wouldn’t make any assumptions about anyone buying either.

Some people know the difference between a CHARGER and a Challenger…
but then again…
some don’t!

#44: LOLOLOLOL!

Challenger = Vanishing Point, Charger = Dukes Of Hazzard, Cuda = Nash Bridges

Some people just dont know their cars…

I belevie the 2008 limited addition should come with the T-top cover on the roof it would look great. In addition, it should come with the DUB EDITON can come with the nice wheels chromed out with a nice borla dual exauhst system as mufflers. This Dodge would be the ULITMATE car that I would love to own. It’s the greatest car invetion. It also stands out just as the old 1970 American Muscle Challenger. Please Dodge you should think about the T-top cover.
Greetings,
Judge
