New Dodge Challanger
What I really love about the new Challanger, is that it looks spot on the original. Fortunatly, the new 'Vette should take it, at least the Z06 will. Be carefull out there, people!

I'd buy it now, if i found one with a 500 hp Hemi...the new charger Hemi engine with 430hp won't be enough for this car...
PLAY LOUD!. they really wake it up in the end

My guess is you wont be able to touch one for less than $43k out the door not including taxes and the like...the 1st year is a limited run so you can count on the "cool car fee" of $5k or so, just like what occured on the PT cruiser, the mini and the 1st year mustang.

It looks the part but I think most high HP cars will be able to take it not just the corvette. From the numbers that Dodge is claiming it appears that it will be slower than the SRT8 Charger/300C.
Sure 425 crank horsepower sounds like alot but isn't THAT much to brag about when it's in a car that's going to weigh more than Jabba's sail barge.

With a curb weight of 4140 lbs and a 0-60 in "low 5 seconds" I wouldn't be too worried.

I don't have to have the fastest car on the planet. I don't care if it weighs 4,000 +; I like the looks of the car. Perhaps it is just a trip down memory lane for old farts like me but I want one. Unfortunately, unless one is willing to pay well over MSRP getting one this year may be next to impossible. Perhaps as others have told me the picture may change next year and mere mortals will actually be able to order one.
I like the camaro too but I may be dead and buried before GM gets their heads out of their collective butts and releases them.
