Guest joelzcar Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I thought it was an old car. The pic makes it seem that way. Looks neat though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 The word over at moparts is that's pretty much how the car will look, and it will be produced in 2008. And, of course, it's going to have a Hemi. Jury is still out on how much it will weigh; I suspect, like the 05 mustang, it will be a fat pig. Here's a pic of the new one and the original: jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelly Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I've been impressed with dodge as of late. They seem to be willing to take more chances in their product line... We may get surprised by this one! It sure looks awesome! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I have little hope. Dodge screwed up the Charger (4 frickin' doors, JFC!) and given another two years they are bound to screw this one up too. Probably come in at 4,200 lbs, will only be available with an automatic, and the traction control, skid control, ABD, etc. won't allow a burnout.

280Bob Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I have to agree with you johnc I just don't see this thing being anything other than a two door Charger...too heavy and targeted at a group that doesn't care for burnouts and doesn't understand what a combustion chamber is let alone a hemispherical one...this Hemi craze has really been driving me crazy. It looks great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Burnout? John, You planning on becoming a DoRifDa? Ya never know... Actually, I just wanted to drive a Hybrid vehicle - one that burns both gasoline and rubber (credit Dodge adverising for that one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silicone boy Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Damn I like these new retro cars. Detroit has finally figured it out. I can't wait for the retro versions of the AMC Pacer and Gremlin. Now, them's some awesome cars! Maybe they can build it on a more modern platform like the Yugo.

jt1 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 As long time muscle Mopar fan, I fully agree DCX screwed up the charger. They've got a second chance with this one, let's hope they get it right. 4-500 hp, curb weight in the very low 3000# range, straight drive, plenty of rubber, and light on computer assisted controls.

ezzzzzzz Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I was always fond of the Baracuda and Challenger body styling. Chrysler is building some very cool cars...too bulky in many cases but great styling just the same (excludes the PT Cruiser and it's front wheel drive). The downside is their quality control is still the pits. After years of the K car platform and recovery in the market it seems they could get that together. Of course, I'm not just beating up on Chrysler as the other two players aren't in the arena either. It baffles me that the Asian and Euro manu's can build such better cars at competitive prices.

John[/quote'] I wish too. I don't think that low 3,000 curb will happen, but it is possible. 4-500 probably in an SRT model or something of the sort.

BrandonsZ Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 0-60 in 4.5 with a 13 quarter... with the 6 speed (probably T56). Sounds reasonable, if it gets 20mpg city and costs in the 20's I'll start drooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
