Sorry to burst your bubble. That is the very first concept - but as you see Diamler side has steped in to modify the new model to look more like the front end of the Magnum.

Sorry... ;)

my bad?

So this is what I get for not staying current with Chief Delphi posts...Anywhoo..those look reeal nice. The old school look is comming back..which isn't a bad thing. I'd drive either of those cars any day...but the supercharged Hemi sounds verry nice. . .

::returns to drooling::

I have to say, I dig the old-school-turned-new look.

Of course, there's the big question--are these good for straight-line speed, or can they handle the curves as well? (For me, there's nothing like whipping around my neighborhood and all its hills and curves at the breakneck speed of...25 miles per hour. Hey, the law's the law.)

That's the juicy part.

Some of the articles that have posted these images (Trust me - I probably have read over 100 articles [yes - the whole thing]) and they claim that the BASE (yes - no typo) Charger will handle like the BASE C6 Corvette. (New 'Vette).

Now- if that's just the base - how in the heck will the (crosses fingers) 6.1 supercharged HEMI with the sport suspension handle?! :yikes:

Again - as soon as I drive one of the new Chargers (I have a good friend that is a mechanic at Century Dodge in Taylor, Michigan :D) I sware - I will do nothing else (besides grab a towel :D) and report back here ASAP. Just thinking about sitting in one makes me drool.

With some Intake/Exhaust/combustion chamber modifications/better suspension - can this vehicle be the sub-40,000 dollar Corvette Z06 Eater? Ooohhhh - I only hope, I only hope...

Actucall 2006 Dodge Charger.
 


:( :mad:

Chrysler has let me down. NO 2-door coupe. Just a 300C with a Dodge badging.

It will have the 6.1 HEMI - but no supercharger.

This is the biggest letdown that Chrysler has IMHO. I am very disapointed...

It reminds me of an evil-looking Durango that rolled. I don't like it.

Rear. Exacly like the 300.


How did they go from their prototypes to this?! I am still astonished what their selection was.

SSSSOOOO DISAPOINTED.

If someone here has 'relations' with one of the upper people of DC - let them know what I have to say and feel free to give them my information if they wish to contact me.

:(

Wow, the four doors killed that. :( I'm saddened that Chrysler didn't tackle this project with a much more sportier look. :mad:

Billfred 17-09-2004 12:53

Re: New 2007 Camaro
 
No kidding. I swear, it's a Magnum sedan.

I mean, even if DC decided to go with two doors with a look that's eerily close to the 300, I might have some sympathy. But right now, the new Charger looks exactly like a 300 with a new grill and paint job. No.

i still like it and i wouldn't mind driving the charger. And that lime green and black brings back some heritage of the Super Bird.

That lime green was one of the many colors Chrysler offered in the early '70's as part of thier high impact color line up.

Petty Blue reminds me more of the Superbird.

Lime Green, Hemi and Vitamin C Orange and Purple, are more of the GTO and Barracuda style of things..

Ooh.. Flat black hood.. nice! At least they did one thing right.

<Useless Trivia>
Flat Black was a popular color for hoods back in the day especially in racing, because those long hoods that held them big motors painted with gloss reflected a lot of sun into the drivers' eyes. The Flat black minimized the glare.

Hey check this one out.
http://www.chrysler.com/300/300c.htm...dex&type=promo

Hmmmmm....

Re: New 2007 Camaro
 
Yea - that'll be avialble to the public in Jan/Feb of 05.

I'm still extreamly upset with DC, that is by far one of their HUGEST letdowns...(ties in there with the new IFS WK)

Man...Maybe I should just switch to Ford now...

:mad:
