Default RE: New versions of muscle cars


ORIGINAL: Hoping4aT/A

I sure hope so. Even if they don't revive the 'cuda name, they could release something like a Challenger T/A (Hence my sign-in - I'm certainly not hoping for a Trams Am!!).

Not sure if you remember the T/A version of the original Challenger, but as I recall they were street cars built so that Challengers could be raced in SCCA. I think the 'cuda equivelent was called the AAR. Not sure if they were higher performance that the R/Ts were, but I believe they were produced in fewer numbers.

I'm just hoping for an additional 'step up' from the SRT-8, just like Ford is doing with the Shelby.
I believe you're correct about the SCCA racing and the T/A version being the Dodge equivalent of the AAR. I also hope they offer something more than the 6.1L or give it a power upgrade to offer similar hp & tq numbers even though it appears it will be pretty even with the GT500 already.
