ORIGINAL: 1 Bad Mirada

you cant use the 99 charger concept as a basis for comparison. that was a complete concept, and there was never any REAL intention of production. when the designers of the challenger concept were given their instructions, one of them was to "make it as close to production as possible", much like the viper concept.

also, keep in mind that the mustang that was shown first (the silver one) is very similar to what the production GT500 looks like...

as for those awful gawdy wheels, if someone wants "dubs", which have awful rotational mass and kill the acceleration of the car, they should go buy an escalade or some other vehicle that isnt meant to go slow. there is a reason that few (if any) companies make drag radials in the huge sizes...because performance cars have rims that are designed to reduce rotational mass...like a nice 17 inch DragLite.
