I like how the guy takes one photo of the front of the car then goes home....LOL. Since the Camaro got shown Dodge is letting these challengers run free on purpose. Loving it!

Awesome. Great find.

I guess the only suprises at the Chicago Feb. 6 Auto Show will be the interior!

I honestly believe this is awesome looking albeit for one thing, the mirros I'm not fond of. They look larger than that of the pre-prod model and look out of place. Maybe it's just me.

The concept's side view mirror stems were mounted more toward the door - where the mirrors hung off the stems. The production car looks like the stems are mounted more in the middle of the mirrors, so the overall appearance is higher - and the stems appear thinner.

I took the photo. I wish I could've gotten more off but they were actually taking off with the car as I got the photo off and couldn't snap any more quickly enough. To be honest, it's amazing I got one as I was just getting off that bus as they were leaving. Here's a little bit of a higher res one.

The high res version really helps get a better feeling for what we get. On this R/T version here, looks like the wheels more closely mirror the concept, where the SRT version has a new tooling that differs from the concept. I do admire the clean look of the hidden windshield wipers as well, given that the concept had none. One word sums it all up....SWEEEEEEET!

I've been worried the car would look weird without stripes because of the design of the hood, but it actually looks great.
