Looks pretty sweet, the rear bumper could use a little changing though.
Wander why they didnt do the 6.1, cost?

[okra1981]

With 500 - 700 hp, it doesn't sound like they need the 6.1L. It will be interesting to see how well it does when it is priced so close to the Viper, looks mean though.

[Bruce Leroy]

New challengers look tall and narrow to me.

With the 6.1 the numbers would have been 600-800hp.

[NevrNufTorq]

looks pretty sweet, cant wait to see one in person when they come out

[Sammich]

this..is...awesome.

although i wont be able to afford one, ill be happy enough wetting my pants everytime i see one pass me on the road

[StupidBikerBoy]

Looks really good, but they are 4200 lbs stock so I wonder what this one wil weigh with all the added goodies.

[The Youngn]

I'm pretty sure it'll be able to put all the power down with those rear tires

[DinanM3atl]

I love the new Challenger.

[JBalla1036]

Dam thats pretty sweet.

[EJ25RUN]

Rear bumper is fine but i would have put a wider exhaust tip.

[Sammich]

i was thinking the same thing..but i imagine they did it for aerodynamics?

[4uh8ers]

Viper is a completely different car. This is a functional snotty DD. The Viper is an affordable race car. That, and there's still a 20k difference in price. I think it'll do just fine.

I love it!

[BexSican 408]

[mirz833]
