Re: Challenger Concept looking better!!
Sam,
I am buying one to park next to my 70 HEMI Challenger if they bump up the HP from 425? I really like the look and the whole concept behind the new car. Hopefully they will learn from Ford's mistakes and keep the weight under 3500 pounds? I really can't imagine Dodge not bumping the HP up to 475 to compete with the Mustang. From my Viper experience Dodge is pretty aware of the market place and competitive I don't think they will disapoint the Challenger crowd. Unlike the GM executives Dodge seems to have some real car guys in Detroit. Dodge already has plans for a 700 HP 2007/2008 Viper. The engine is already on the dyno and in testing and easily reaches over 700HP.
The current Viper will be built through next August 2006. Then the CAAP plant is closing until January 2007 to re-tool for the fourth generation Viper. Production for the new 700 HP fourth generation Viper is set to begin in January 2007 for delivery in the spring and summer. Just imagine 700 HP off the showroom floor?
