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.

 

From the spy picture I couldn't see the black valance ports. It looked to me the pipes were just sticking in the air.

 

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

 

I just took a closer look at the silver picture...I think the tips are just really dirty..look a the the wheels, they are so dirty they look painted, not polished or chrome... I have owned several cars with chrome tips (including the 300C SRT8), and it doesnt take much driving in bad weather to get them really dirty

 

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.

 

And you based this on what exactly?

 

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...

i noticed the srt8 chargers window sticker said that too! what liability is the other guy refering too??? i don't understand why they didn't go butterflies. they were designed to open ONLY at WOT. IMO the 03-04 mach's shaker is more of a liability (hydro lock) than the butterflies would have ever been in the challenger. I'm well aware of all the bends in the shaker but it's "on" at all times no flap opens or closes on it. small percent that it would seize up but who's to say it can't happen on the mach's. oh well what's done is done. i know i'm going to have fun modifying it myself even if the butterflies don't go aftermarket. i hope they make after market side mirrors for them. the concept are alot shorter than the silver ones.
