Rockstar Games is a little busy right now ahead of its big release of Grand Theft Auto IV, but the video game developer had enough time to announce that the next installment of its Midnight Club racing series will land on the Xbox 360 and PS3 come September 9th. Joystiq reports that Midnight Club: Los Angeles will feature "no load times, no tracks, and no rules," which means much hooning can be had in the City of Angels with a large selection of infinitely customizable cars. Among those available to gamers will be the first use of the new Dodge Challenger and Chevy Camaro in a racing game. Having already been officially revealed to the public, the Challenger in Midnight Club: Los Angeles looks spot on, while the Camaro appears to sport a few quirky details like its headlights that Chevy probably didn't want to reveal in a video game or just weren't ready when it came to digitize the car. Driving your dream cars in a video game certainly doesn't replace the real thing, but it's fun to do things with a digital version that you wouldn't dream of inflicting on an actual car.

 

Yeah, spot on for the Concept. Notice the crosshair grill.

Need for Speed: Carbon had the Challenger Concept in it a year and a half ago. Of course, that might not have been "official." Maybe Dodge didn't give NFS the OK.

Always good to see the Challenger on the mainstream pop-culture scene, but I don't think Rockstar can claim it is first. It'll be the first time we can race against the Camaro Concept, though, I guess.
