What the Charger should have been

My only Mopar...Back in the early 80's I had 72' Duster with the little 318 CID, "jacked-up ass-end," US Mag 5-slots, custom bucket seats and headers with 4' flex tubes into cherry bombs (couldn't afford a real exhaust system). Wasn't very fast but fast enough for a long-haired punk and loud as a MoFo, really loud. Use to hang-out, fight occasionally and chase ass down on nevada Ave in the Springs, good ride for that.

I don't get too excited about new renditions of old classics, just not the same after you lived it real-time...they're kinda like really nice silicon titties. I do like the new tech and I have to give it the nod overall (for my tastes these days).

But...for me...it's the rare 70' Hemi ‘Cuda Convertibles...there ya' go (PS, I never saw one in-person, few did). Superbirds were fun too, funky as hell but fun and plentiful and man...the ol' Super Bees with the acid dipped fenders...

I agree with most here about being disappointed with the redesign of the (4 door) charger. Being a ford guy I feel that Chevy and Dodge ripped of Fords idea about "Going back to classic design" from the redesigned ponies. I would however own a Challenger, that's just pure sexy!

+1, looks wise I like the challenger, but gm and mopar are killing them with all that weight. Im a ford guy til I die and love that they brought the retro look back. no guessing you know its a mustang when you see it. As far as the charger... Blah, it has hemi..cool, but make it a 2 door and lose that black out front end on the srt models that shit looks like a rip off of the evo's front end.

Being a jack of all trades master of none in the car world. Shoulda left the Charger/Challanger/ Camero where it belonged..... The 60's.


Waiting on some dillhole to redesign the '32 Ford.

Just my 2 cents!

current crop of domestic designers is playing it "safe", not to mention lazy. maybe lazy. now is the next generation camaro going to look like a 71. They looked good. That would be easy.

I wouldnt call it lazy, ford hit a bullseye with the retro look, thats a car that appealed to the young and older crowd, I see a bunch of older folk with 05+ mustangs bc it reminded them of the car,they had/wanted back in the day.

Of all the retro throwback cars the Dodge Challenger is the best looking. Unfortunately the dealers are a little to proud of them w/ their 6K markup over the ridiculously high MSRP. If the Challenger was priced w/ the Camaro and Mustang GT I can promise you that there would be one sitting in my garage right now.

I was pretty dead set on getting the new Camaro SS but after everything I have been reading about the Coyote motor in the new Mustangs that may be the route I end up going.

You're right about the 05 and laters, and the New 5.0 is flat awesome. When the kids are out of car seats, I'll be ready
