Anyone else see this?
IMO the only reason people bought the Charger was to have the name,
That car looks nothing like what A charger should look like. Yeah they brought the name back, But it was on a 4 door. Im not saying It should have looked like the days of old, But even the 1st concept that they were toying with was much better then the polished turd they released.
So now Ma Mopar sees what the boys at Ford have done and they see the sales numbers to go with it. I know for a fact that the new mustang was/is a hot item. Dealers here cant keep them on the lot long enough for other people to see them because as soon as they come in there gone. And all the while Mopar was saying there was no market for a 2 door car anymore. REALY?
Odds are the car would be in the price range of the current Charger and SRT Charger (for the SRT Challenger). But It its good to see that there thinking about it and not saying theres no market for it.
Sure it's not a 1970-71 HEMI Challenger, But think of it this way.
For the people that want the old Muscle but dont have time to mess with them can now (maybe) have one. And just seeing one on the street might change a kids mind about that neat lil' rice rocket sitting in the neighbors yard for sale and think about some real power for once.
425HP out of a 6.1L, Thats more ponys then what Ford is offering. Ford dont even offer that unless you look into a Roush Built Mustang. I didnt have time to mess with the Challenger I had due to the Cuda. but Im darn well going to be inline for this car if its built like the pictures show.
My hats off to Ma Mopar for even thinking in the right direction. So if they build it? Id be glad to give the shirt off my back to go with it.
