RE: Production vs Concept comparison pictures
The only difference I see is that the spy pic ones aren't covered in shiny chrome. I'm guessing chrome covers just slip over them?

I was wondering that too. As a test mule. they are more interested in the power train, breaking and overall handling I would assume.

RE: Production vs Concept comparison pictures
From the spy picture I couldn't see the black valance ports. It looked to me the pipes were just sticking in the air.

RE: Production vs Concept comparison pictures
Why are we complaining about this car? If you want the MSRP to be another 10K maybe they can justify building a different assembly line to handle the changes, as is I'm happy with the way it looks, they chopped it down in order to use existing assembly lines, which cut down on the MSRP.
Even with the minor changes they've made it still looks more like the concept than 90% of production cars compared with their concepts. So quit complaining and embrace the fact that this car will still live up to it's name, and isn't getting wimped out like the mustangs and the camaro |

ORIGINAL: Jeremiah 29:11 If the rectangular exhaust doesn't look like this 2008 Challenger picture.....I will cry. The spy pictures of the silver Challenger looked nothing like this. Hopefully it was a bad picture or a bad mule. This picture is beautiful, even without the divided exhaust like back in the day. [IMG]local://upfiles/17/40670F034EFB4C6B871BA1FEDEF59C97.jpg[/IMG] |
RE: Production vs Concept comparison pictures
not to bust anyone's bubble, but the mesh in the hood scoops is correct, as they will be non functioning due to liability reasons. I do hope the final production models exhaust tips conform to the teaser pictures also. Don't expect any deliveries before mid summer as these cars aren't ready for the production lines yet.

The specification and options sheet lists the hood scoop as functional. This does not mean it has the flaps, just means air can enter. The Charger SRT8 is also listed as functional...

If your refering to the 08 model it will be ready in the spring time, not summer...

RE: Production vs Concept comparison pictures
Active hood scopes would be a liability due rain, sleet, snow and lack of maintenance to the butterflies and linkages. Don't get me wrong, it was in the plus column on my ledger, and hope it still is. And I due agree with the comment about the mirrors, the spy pic's side mirrors do not look like they would belong to the challenger. They could use a serious makeover.

RE: Production vs Concept comparison pictures
I am hoping that all of this minor detail stuff we have been criticizing is because of bad picture angle and dirt and because it is a mule car without the final fixings.
Let's wait another 15 days and the proof is in the sublime pudding. :D:D |
RE: Production vs Concept comparison pictures
We have not heard from our friends at Chrysler in awhile by my reckoning. It would be cool if they could sneak a post in giving us some feedback on those pics as to their accuracy.
Pretty please????[sm=kissykissy.gif] |
RE: Production vs Concept comparison pictures
I think that Chrysler will keep mum on everything since it is only 14 days to the great unveiling at the Chicago Auto Show.
I have been very disappointed with Dodge's official blog, redletterdodge.com. It seems that this is a "one-way" blog- it only serves to provide Dodge with consumer opinions. It never answers questions. |
