    I like it. Auto sucks, but other than that, I think it looks pretty good. The seats look really nice. I didnt read all of it, but I noticed in one of the pics, the stripes on the hood look to be some sort of carbon kevlar or something. Pretty hot if you ask me.

    They will come with a manual in a year or so.

    This is probably the best executed "retro" car I've seen yet, new Mustang included. The profile of the Challenger is just mean as all hell and really gives you that muscle-car feel. Still, tipping the scales at over 4,000 pounds, this thing is a tank. Even if they are just shooting for a sub-14 1/4 mile, I would hope it would do better with over 400HP on tap. We'll just have to wait and see.

    Keep in mind that this first batch only comes in automatic. I'm sure that with a real gearbox and a man-pedal, it'll do better.

    Mmm, I can't wait to see one of these. Can't believe it weighs more than the original. I think they came in just shy of 4k pounds.

    It's about time. I'm glad they didn't water it down.

    Seriously, hasn't this car been a concept for over 5 years now? What the hell have they been waiting for? Honda brings concepts to production in roughly 20 minutes.
