RE: 2008 Chicago Auto Show: 2008 Dodge Challenger
I saw the pic's of the new SRT8 on Jalopnik.com. I'm bummed. It looks too much like the Charger/300 and the SUPER body lines of the Concept have been lost with an extended rear roof line and a boxey rear quarter. The interior and Instrument cluster are boring and the steering wheel is a joke. I can't imagine how sad the people who ordered the SRT8 sight unseen will be. This car is only a fraction of what I expected when I heard the Concept Body would be kept as close as possible.
I won't be ordering this car even with a six speed/Hemi unless they fix the body/interior or drop the price to 30k. I'd rather buy a Mustang GT 500 because at least Ford found a way to bring back the Muscle-car look of 70-71. This "Challenger" isn't a jaw dropper like the Concept. This car is a Charger/300 with a body kit. [:'(]
