Thumbs up
That looks awseome, good to see it will be based on the 300C / Charger / Magnum Platform. Can't wait to see some decent pictures of the real thing.

I'm not hugely impressed. I don't buy into these retro things....unless its a gt40.

So yeah. I would burn one to get an old school challenger.

If only they'd make them here then they could race with Ford and Holden!

Anyway, could be a good Mustang fighter.
Yeah Vanishing point is brilliant, no one gets to borrow my NTSC USA VHS original from 2000. My favourite part is early in the film when he begins on his journey out of the city. The sound of it is awesome

If only 1/2 of Chrysler's current innovative streak could find its way to Ford...

These guys can't do a thing wrong lately.

Look's sweet I reckon!
Now all we need is Ford Aus to sculpt up a clay model of a 21st century XB Coupe, and possibly a reinvented XY GT. :
XB might have a bit more of a chance with head office though, seeing the interest in the original from the states.
One can dream!

Not bad, not bad at all. The original sketch looks much better from the front though.

Mmmm '71 440 Six Pack:

As much as I love my Fords, I am CRAZY about Mopar Muscle cars!
I Just cant get enough of late 60s US Chargers, Challengers and Plymouths etc.
They just look so horn!
(Aussie Pacers and Chargers and Drifters do it for me too)
ANd the Dosge Charger showcar of 2000 and now this challenger (to quote Russel Ingall) give me half a chubby!

(Anyone know a good website for USmuscle car pix, especially mopars?)

Please Santa, I will be good all year, I want a 2006 Challenger with 6.1 Litre hemi and 6 speed.

So damn hot, so is it coming to Aus? if it is released at all?

If Chrysler need to release a Big Power V8 Sports car in Aus to get a genuine revival of the brand happening... This is it!!

Chrysler has certainly got some momentum at the moment. With the Crossfire and 300C now this. Out of all three I would choose. Crossfire to small, 300C looks like it got its inspiration from a RR Phantom. This on the other hand looks great.

hope the build quality is better than 300c though... we have a few of them sitting in the workshop immobile alreayd... too much technology for one car... they need to get the basics right before going overboard like mercedes... hemis go good though, and the sound... omfg... cant wait for the srt8... if they could have it handle like the crossfire, and accelerate like the 300c, well...
