Default Modern Muscle on Wheels - CNN

Albeeno should like this as it has some interesting stats on Stangs....

http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/wayof...5/muscle.cars/

"....At Chrysler, the Plymouth Barracuda won't be back, but they've decided the Dodge Challenger certainly will, likely sporting a 6.1-liter, 425-hp version of the old Hemi engine and a 6-speed manual transmission. Looking a bit more mature and a bit chunkier than the last Challenger of 1974, but very similar in style, the Challenger is scheduled to hit the showrooms next year as a 2009 model....."

Good article overall, but there is only one problem I have noticed so far. The GT500 is rated for 500hp not 450hp. That was an rumored output rating that was upgraded before production. Thanks for sharing it though.

I really wish they'd quit sending amateurs to report on the Challenger. "Challenger is scheduled to hit the showrooms next year as a 2009 model." Any time you see something so basic incorrect in a story, you should doubt everything in it.
