I saw 1 in person the other day @ the local dealership & I have to say that is a bad@$$ ride!!! They pulled off the "New Retro" look better than any other thus far & it looks identical to an older Challenger, but better. They definitely look pretty damn heavy, bulky, & wide though. The interior looks like it could easily seat 4 adults without issue... Looks like it would be a nice comfy daily driver with plenty of power....Here are the pics I took....

Posted by Pittsburg Mustang Owner (Member # 6100) on :

wow looks great but that dodge emblem on the nose killed it man. Should just be flush

Posted by Blue91LX (Member # 8320) on :

It looks like it is just about as heavy as my brothers F350! [Eek!]

Posted by EPIK (Member # 7481) on :

Very compareable to the old model....

That looks great! [Eek!]

What was the sticker + markup on that thing.

Posted by EPIK (Member # 7481) on :

You know what, i forgot to look at the sticker, but I think the salesman said something about a $25k markup [Eek!]

Posted by Eddie510- (Member # 2354) on :

I delieverd some cars to Carmean Dodge in Shingle Springs and they had two of them. Black and orange ones, the first thing I noticed was how big they were. They looked as big as the chargers just with two doors. Hopefully we see some real track numbers from them and see what they are really made of and see some aftermarket parts for them.

I saw one completely blacked out in downtown grassvalley on 4'th of july weekend. bad ass rides for sure!

I dont like them with the sunroof, other than that they are sic but to be honest, I like the proposed camaro better.

that is a bad ass ride [worship]

I used to think Ford did a pretty good job retro'ing the 05+ Mustang to look like the 60's models, but damn...this definitely mirrors the early model Challenger.

It does look heavy, but very sleek and sexy. I'm sure a blacked out model would look bad ass [patriot]

Posted by SAMACH1 (Member # 7042) on :

Nice looking car...i agree with Eddie, def. better then the 05+ mustangs but still looks pretty heavy, i would still rather have my mach lol.

Posted by NavidR (Member # 3164) on :

what was the price tag on it?

Posted by NorCalRydaz (Member # 3233) on :

Wow that car looks great!! Way better than the new mustang and camaro

Posted by Chris83179 (Member # 6017) on :

I would rock it, except it needs a 6spd...

Posted by Black 02 SS (Member # 5939) on :

$41,000 sticker. 13 MPG city, 18 MPG highway with todays current market and gas prices. 4140 lbs based on a 10 year old Mercedes chassis (97-02 E class). $15k-$30k mark ups. Same bland ass steering wheel from the Charger. The look of the car is right, they just didn't pull it together in the overall package.

Posted by slidewayz94 (Member # 3101) on :

Just looks unappealing to me. Seen a black one in parking lot today. I like the new camaros more.

Posted by 88DroptopGT (Member # 2535) on :

Sorry a 4000+lb automatic car with a $25k+ markup doesn't appeal to me.

In that price range you might as well be going with a used Viper!

Posted by Curt (Member # 6254) on :

LOVE the body on that!

The interior however looks like crap, WTF were they thinking, cheap plastic FTL

Posted by saleen_freak (Member # 6521) on :

I saw one on the freeway comin from the Pleasanton meet. It does look nice. it already has a 6.1, can you imagine the power when you add a supercharger onto it? But I still like mustangs better.

Posted by Blue Oval (Member # 2548) on :

i seen one in auburn sitcker said 41k dealership price was 80k !! [Eek!]

its bullshit too cause they only make them in autos,until next year they said

Posted by TrueBlue (Member # 1063) on :

Nice!, way better than the new Camaro IMO.

Posted by Jaime Zamora (Member # 7506) on :

Nice but they better not mess with me cuz I am sure remind him what the mach can do!!! Hahahaha

Posted by turbo50 (Member # 6700) on :

I went to school with a guy named Jamie Zamora in Concord.

Jeremy Zamora too.

Posted by Insurance Dude (Member # 8241) on :
