i just got my car and driver in the mail today and that is in there. it looks like its a go in making it and its gonna retail around $35,000 for the SS (and yes that thing has a hemi) with about 425hp and 420tq. Very awesome car tho, the interior looks pretty sweet. ---

> [@BaD AZz Z/28](#): > > Rumor has it that it should be a go, the mags are always behind the gossip, and it has sounded good. The Charger was actually supposed to look like the 99 concept, which was gorgeous, but they didnt put the money behind it. Now with the success of the 300/charger platform, RWD in general and mustang in particular, a car like that is getting the recognition within the company that it should Has the Charger really been successful though? I’ve only seen two on the road so far. One belongs to a co-worker (V6 - bleh).

It looks like it has some potential to become a pretty good sports car. I had the opportunity to drive a hemi 300c to an auction in PA for work last week. i was actually impressed with it. you could really tell that it had the underpinnings of a mercedes, although softened a bit. the 340 horsepower hemi was a joy to whomp on. it made awesome v8 sounds and threw you back in your seat the way a hemi should. yet is still managed close to 24 MPG according to the trip computer thing. i see the new challenger as a smaller, lighter version of that car with more power. seems like a winner. IMO, it has a big one up on the mustang in the rear suspension department. although, i have kinda grown up around mopars all my life. my uncles used to drag me out to chrysler shows and have let me drive their old plymouths ('70 GTX 440-6 and '70 'cuda AAR). it sucks that the plymouth nameplate doesn’t exist anymore. I would really like to see a return of the barracuda. If they wanted to go FTW, they should offer a manual gearbox with a pistol grip shifter. 😉 ---

> [@98teg](#): > > who are they hiring in the design department :tup:…looks really hot :tup: > > 1st Dodge I like Mostly graduates from the three following schools: Cleveland Institute of Art, College for Creative Studies, and Art Center. I went to the Cleveland school (class of '04) and had a car design program where for each semester a company from Detroit would come in a teach a class under the direction of their designers. Most of the time it would be alumni who would run it, but they often would send in designers from other schools to work with us too. Was a great class and we saw a lot of sketches we shouldn’t have seen and got great instruction. A handful of my friends are currently working there…one of them actually grew up here. FWIW, I too love the new Challenger…beautiful car. ---

I know the 300C has been very successful though, I see them everywhere. Yeah, Id have to look up some #s tomorrow, but it is doing pretty good. Not mustang good, but lately no car that has a soul has does as well as the stang, so that wasnt neccesary for this to be a success. ---

We’ll see what kind of response Chevy gets with the Camaro next week. Hopefully they did some redesign on the pictures that got leaked. I’m sure some pics will get leaked to the web before Detroit. BTW, found more pics. Added to my site: [http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/topic.asp?TOPIC\_ID=651](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=651) All I can say is WOW!

I remember when I first showed my grandfather pictures of the 300C (spy pictures, then I think the official photos). He said he was going to go back to Chrysler when they came out (he had always bought Chrysler products before, but decided to buy buicks one time–yuck). Then he died ☹ argh. But at least Chrysler seems to be introducing cars people will actually want (the Caliber actually looks kind of neat, too).
