I'm wondering what the Z28 version will look like? or is this the Z28? I think it's a Great start and I think a few have it correct GM doesn't want to go backwards in design and have a flash in the pan, in the long run will pay off when the other car companies are saying now what.
Besides I'll bet this car will have twice the motor and drive trains of the others, you can have the Hemi don't they put them in their mini vans?
I agree the front end needs some fine tuning, but give me a badged Z28 equipped like Z06 then see who buys the others!!

There are rumors that the new 392 Hemi crate engine, designed for racing, will go along with the new Dodge Challenger body. The 392 is apparently a racing-only engine in current form, not a production design, but a lower-power version may well be made for production and appear in the Challenger. The Challenger concept car to be shown at NAIAS (Detroit, January 2006; the Camaro will also be shown) uses, not surprisingly, the SRT-8 6.1 liter engine — but, unlike any current production LX car, it also has a six-speed manual gearbox. (Automobile suggested that the 510 horsepower 6.4 liter 392 Hemi might be used.) There are issues with the 392 - most notably the question of what untrained drivers will do with that much power. A fairly large number of Vipers left this world unexpectedly
