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.

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!

i will be goin with the McLeod disk with the LT4 pressure plate. i have a hurst billet/plus shifter and i htink that with the LSS will be pretty nice. i cant wait to have my car back spinning tires like it could do when i bought it ever since i changed the trans, i just cant do it even with the sizeable amount of torque it has (330 ftlbs stock plus whatever the few mods it has add) i have the t56's 2.66 first gear with my 2.77 rear ratio, it just doesnt like to do it. but soon she shall live again!!! muahahahahahaha youre right ive hijaced my own thread Posted by jimb0 (Member # 176) on :
...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...

Saw a Chrysler Crossfire today at lunch driving.
Nice looking car!

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. Posted by Showgun (Member # 1930) on :
Very sweet ride but keep it two door! Posted by jimb0 (Member # 176) on :

...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...

Wow! That is one cool looking concept. Too bad they scrapped the project. I would have bought one of those.

I dig it! That's a cool car. Hope they can make it. 2 doors would be nice, but I am not totally put off by the 4 door.
