Yeah. Drool big time!

I love this rebirth of retro styling (that the mustang started, thank you very much) that's coming out. Ford got it right, and it looks like Chrysler will to.

That god awful camaro still looks hideous to me. I love the first gen Camaro/Firebird bodies, but the new camaro concept still looks just horrible to me. At least we have two of them that look classy and cool. Rebirth of the musclecar era.. finally!!

Yeah, the Challenger looks badass for sure. What's with the short, stubby looking hood though? Bad render maybe?

Agreed. Hopefully they come out with a better final design, because that one is just rediculous.

Yeah I'm not thrilled with the Camero either. I did have 2 firebirds (V-6) that i just loved, so I'd like to see if Pontiac jumps on the bandwagon any time soon. I also had for a short time a Dodge Charger but it had too many miles and was beat to death before I had it, but when it ran right it was HOT!

I like the Camaro except for the front end. The front end of that car looks like a catfish. I am digging the Challenger though. I think that the design team has kept the look of the new Challenger retro (at least to the 1970 Challenger) yet modern. It looks great, but I raise an eybrow over the recent recall of 50,000+ vehicles over the rear brake lines catching on fire from making contact with the exhaust. An easy fix, but a small detail to overlook which could potentially be a disaster.

Well by 2009 they should have it taken care of. The concept, as for now, when or if they do it, and I think they will, the design could change a little for production. They seem to be touring the car around and showing it off to see what the interest level is, according to RPM's news bulletins.

Lets hope the gas prices don't kill it before they get it going.

Gas prices are not that big of a factor right now as with the birth of the LS-2 and several LS-1's 28mpg at 65-75mph is not unheard of at all. More then likely that is the motor that will be coming out in the Camaro and hopefully Firebird/Trans-Am.

The thing I am looking foward to is what it can do for the stang. When Dodge does the Challenger and Chevy does the Camaro, the Mustang will have to keep up and be better than it is right now!

I think all that horsepower will probably stand on its own. I wouldn't run against one if encountered in the future. Even if I upgraded my car.

All I have to say to chrysler is Bring It On! Even if ford doesn't answer it with more power in the mustang, I am sure it's enthusiasts will
