i think it looks kinda neat! Along with the name, we also brought back the heritage that made Charger R/T a legend. This concept car advances four-door style into an entirely new dimension. True to the original muscle car form, Charger R/T, with its low, thrusting hood, has a powerful V8 matched with a five-speed manual transmission that drives the rear wheels. The front grille and lamps look menacing. The body is taut. The rear deck with spoiler, and the fascia with sly-looking taillamps and twin exhaust outlets, all signify a vigorous departure from the past. In true retro form, 1966 meets the millennium. One look at the radio knobs and three-spoke steering wheel will confirm that. The pistol-grip shift lever adds to the feeling.
Throughout this interior past and future, street and racing are balanced. Exposed metal is emphasized -- but the front and rear bucket seats are made of carbon fiber and have red leather accents. Because the Charger R/T is supercharged, the 4.7-liter SOHC, 16-valve, V8 engine has the kind of ferocity that results in 325 horsepower.
But Charger R/T is environmentally gentle -- its Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel produces negligible emissions at the tail pipes.

I love that concept...but I think Chrysler pulled the plug on it.

What clutch did you decide to go with...I know you were asking for recommendations awhile back. The Lous SS is a great addition...I can't imagine going back to the stock stick.
Dude...I just realized, we got off subject here!

...that's the original concept car that came out several years ago. Chrysler has announced they will produce either the Charger R/T or a car they are now referring to as the "Daytona". The Dodge Winston Cup (and their new sponsor) teams announced they in all probability will use the new body stlye for the 2005 season. Contrary to what was advertised at the auto shows where the original concept car was showcased (and due to public demand), it will in all probability be offered also as a 2-door, and with the Hemi engine.
I personally can't wait to see Chrysler get back into the (affordable) performance car arena again...

I saw that at the auto show a couple of years ago. I thought it was pretty neat. I would have kind of liked to see it as a two door. Posts: 142 | From: Kansas City | Registered: Oct 2002

...that's what the Wahine wants as her next car...it's a Mercedes SLK C-Class with different sheet metal and $10-20K less $$$. It's a little lacking in the ooomph department for my liking, but rumor has it they're going to offer the supercharged 3.2 liter engine in it next year...
...that would pep it up a bit for sure...
