I love it. After looking at my 70 & 71 Challenger rear ends just now, I think they did pretty well. That burnt orange one reminds me of a 71 model, now if they would only offer 20 different color choices like the original cars in 70 & 71......gotta build em' first though.

GM management ought to be ashamed of themselves. Chrysler has always been a little creative
and daring. Quality Control problems haunted them for years but since merging with Daimler they
seemed to have cleaned up their act and they are building exciting cars that make you want to stop
and look in the showroom. The only GM I would even bother to look at is the Z06 or a Truck.

My gut is telling me not to get too excited about the Camaro debut...their past history of resurrecting nameplates is not flattering in the least...and right now, GM is basically focused on bailing water out of a sinking ship...

I haven't given a modern Mopar a second thought (excluding the Viper), but this baby floats my boat. The styling is there, yeah its retro and a bit daring (where is the sloping aerodynamic hood with C/D in the twenties?). Very aggressive stance, worthy of the title "muscle car" with a beastly modern 425 HP Hemi. If you have never had the pleasure of rowing a Hurst Pistol Grip, you are missing one of the sweeter pleasures of life. I concur w/ "71-LS6" - give me High Impact colors out the whazoo! Just imagine.... Go Mango, Sublime, Plum Crazy, Hemi Orange, Top Banana, Green Go, or for the daring, Panther Pink.

Did I mention this car excites me?

On the www.moparts.com The Challenger concept has been talked about for weeks now. Theres a picture from "MPH" magazine showing the car posted. Cover picture. Can anyone post it?

Its in the "General" forum under Challenger concept, page 11.

Its worth taking a look at!! Patrick
