g60karmann 0 Posted October 28, 2008 I was really dreading the release of the new challenger as it is one of my favourite cars and I think my fears have been confirmed :( still not too sure about this one http://www.supercars.net/carpics/4250/2008_Dodge_ChallengerSRT10Concept1.jpg certainly wont make me want to see a vanishing point 2 film Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted October 28, 2008 Dunno mate - personally I'm absolutely loving ALL of the retro style muscle cars that are coming out of the states at the moment - Charger, Challenger, Mustang, etc.. would absolutely kill to be driving around any of them!

g60karmann 0 Posted October 28, 2008 but now instead of lovely pressed sheet and freaking awesome paint jobs, they are covered in plastic / carbon and huge wheels which IMO really don't suite a classic looking muscle car. The old cars were expensive and well built, now they are made on a budget :( the one in the link above is the concept "expensive" version as well and it looks like a tonka toy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted October 28, 2008 Have you looked for the standard Challenger SRT8? They don't have any of that stick on tat glued on them.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robz 0 Posted October 28, 2008 i dont mind actually, better than wat i thought it would be wat i dont like is carbon fibre bonnets... i hate them, lol they just - to me - look like theyve been to the scrappy and got the first spare bonnet that fits the car, never understood having one panel a different colour, but thats only my opinion!! i get the feeling i may started something now, lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C488ADO 0 Posted November 5, 2008 this car is absolutly awesome......... we looked at them in the states earlier this year, they have changed a bit though the interior is a little upsetting as the one in the concept is uber cool, the interior in the actual car has just been taken from the charger........ looked @ the super bee as well loved it .......... only been following american cars since my dad got interested... viper srt10............. it is very nice... also rebuilding a 64 thunderbird which will be retro cool....modest 450bhp 550flb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 5, 2008 Not keen on the bonnet nostrils, but the standard SRT8 orange one looks brilliant imo. It's a big car! Nearly 2 tonnes, 6.5" feet wide and nearly 17" foot long! Not easy to park in Tescos :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted November 5, 2008 That's awesome. With Rado-esque door mirrors too. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
