Full Frame is funny.So you don't mind a 5000 pig? :o

I wouldn't mind the extra weight since there were nice options on the engine sizes. I am not sure, but I would think the extra weight involved reinforcing the unibody could be eliminated to supplement a full undercarriage frame.  Plus - I like big heavy cars...  ;D

an all alloy big block,like what gm did with the zl1 camaros-less weight on the nose for better power to weight ratio,and tilt and telescope wheel

i think all dodge's were designed to go very fast IN A STRAIGHT LINE thats it...dont' try to turn, it don't work...

Daddy ran whiskey in a big black dodge
bought it at an auction at the masons lodge,
Johnson County Sherriff painted on the side,
just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside,
well him and my uncle tore that engine down,
I still remember that rumblin' sound.....

Full frames wouldn't make it a 5000-pound pig.  It might add 150 pounds at the most.

 Shoulder belts in early models, kind of boring, I know,


Why would you want anything else?  Just give me a Charger and I'll be happy.

You can keep your full frames.  I'd rather have the Mopar unibody with the front and back tied over the setup of any of those Fords and GMs from the 60's with their full frames.  I get seasick everytime I ride in a Chevelle or GTO.
We may not like how our cars handle compared to today's offerings but they were far better than their contemporaries.

On the outside the only thing I would have liked to see is a different style door handle. Maybe something similar to the early 70's Corvette where the handle was built into the top of the door and flush with the body. The Charger doors would look great with something like that.

On the interior, I have to agree on the better seats but would have liked to see a better insturment cluster too..

I would have liked to have seen:

- the fuel filler neck more curved and out of the way in the trunk. (takes up a lot of space).
- disc brakes that did not have the problems that they were known for.
- power locks
- more cars with power windows
- more cars with power sun roofs (still jealous of John's 69 Green with tan top charger)
- better bucket seats with side bolsters (so you dont slide out of the seat going around a corner)
- standard 26" radiators (not the poor excuse 22" radiator I have now)
- better rust prevention

From what I've read, most of you want an 06 car.I like mine just the way it is.I don't want power anything except steering.No Nav systems, cruise , or power windows.If I wanted a bunch of luxury garbage, I wouldn't own a classic Mopar.I'd buy an 06 Creeder.
