Although Too little too late (projected date 2010) & I am a huge fan of the 71 hemi cuda of which this concept Challenger seems to owe all it's styling cues to. BTW Chrysler actually sold off the rights to the name Hemi-Cuda .
This (other muscle cars) is relevant to the stang as it is the first real attempt at retro 60's styled pony/muscle car war. On the Flip side I here GM axed plans for a rear drive camaro replacement that was to be retro 69 style. Restyled 2008 GTO will be the only serious competitor . Which is to say the Stang will own the pony car wars for the next 1/2 decade at minimum.
It's a shame , I was hoping for more retro models for competition which leads to the ultimate Horsepower wars & often deep discounts :smoke: This could've represented the ultimate retro state of muscle cars aka 60's all over again. Too bad it aint happening
Hard to belive GM & Damlier/Chrysler can't put a freakin rear drive V8 pony car out :shrug

For the hell of it 2008 GTO concept..this car does absolutely nothing for me & doesn't capture too much retro either.
