I went to ESPN.com to check out a few scores and a link to a test drive of the new challengers prototype.

Nice looking and impressive for the driver although she is a prototype the expectation is a home run!

I wish they put this much thought into the new Charger!

I hope this post isn't redundent.

I don't think I like the price class that the list of competitors is putting this car into.

Dodge asked us to keep speeds below 40 mph, to close the doors with care, and not to make sharp turns. Most of the Challenger Concept's interior features are for show and not go, so the driver's seat offers minimal adjustment, the gauges don't work, the air conditioning is an idea rather than a reality, and the exhaust system fills the cabin with life-shortening fumes.


Sounds like they threw this thing together in a hurry!!!!!!...........no long range concept planning for this one! :eyes:


Look! Mustang sales have gone crazy! Quick, throw a '2 DOOR' concept together boys in time for the show!

I believe the Camaro concept made the Hot Rod Power tour.....tip of hat to GM for that at least.
