Berserker said:D'oh!!! Gotta agree with this part of the article: "The only criticisms of the Challenger so far seem to be sour grapes from the GM crowd, annoyed that the cartoonish Camaro’s thunder has been stolen"

I think that Chrysler will have trouble selling the Challenger is sufficent numbers to make it profitable.
However, I welcome the competition as it will force Ford and especially the Ford dealers to keep their prices in line on Mustangs and SE Mustangs like the GT-500 and the rumored Bullitt and Mach 1.

Don't see those huge wheels making to production. I wonder how cheesy it'll look with 17 or 18s on board. Still yet if it looks clos e to show car, it will be awesome!

Just think concept camaro with a flaming turkey on the hood. Or was that the trans am?Alice Colby said:I'm waiting to see a retro'd firebird, myself.

Alice Colby said:Must be you've never driven one.Actually I don't like the looks of the Camero, I don't call it "RETRO'D", the only one close to being a true RETRO is the STANG. The other car makers can't help it if they have no concept of "RETRO" and bringing it to reality...like the STANG.:SNSign:
