I was looking at the latest issue of Musclecar Enthusiast magazine and they have a great article on the Challenger concept. It seems they went to Chrysler R&D and got a comparision of the car up close. Just for giggles , they also did a side by side photo/tech comparision with a '70 model Challenger. You don't realize how much bigger the concept is until you see them beside each other. Also , they had some interesting facts that I didn't know. The concept is designed where four adults can sit comfortably in the car and the hood is carbon fiber, the stripes are actually the the hood skin , not painted on.
The Challenger has a very good chance of making production , too. It is based on current model platforms , not a hodge podge of parts like the Camaro concept. If it is offered to the public , I would seriously consider the car. Priced above the Mustang GT but lower than the GTO , the pentastar boys have really done their homework on this one. They also stated the concept was in the works long before the newest Mustang hit the streets. Let's keep our fingers crossed on this one.
