New concept to debut at the 2006 Detroit auto show. Notice how it's only TWO doors?? Looks like a sleeper but definitely better execution IMO than the Pontiac GTO.

Now if only they keep the weight down, it should compete in N/A form with the new Mustang GT500

What were they thinking before with the charger. Thats a much better step and when they shuv the hemi in there like every other it will be one mean car to run by.

joey, those pics that you have arent DCX concepts...they are drawings by doug schramm, but they are awesome.
as for this challenger....as the resident dodge enthusiast, i have seen PLENTY of RWD 2 door coupe concepts come and go, and the only one that made it to showrooms was the viper.

Dodge would actually put out a "sports car" other than the viper if was released

that's absolutely gorgeous. i'd sell my GT for that.
like it more than the new mustang, too; it's more delicate.

I like it, we recently sold our 70 440 pistol grip last year. Awesome cars IMO, yet I am more of a Cuda fan.

its what the charger should have been instead of a fugly 4dr grocery getter.
is it me or does this concept look a LOT like the new camaro concept??

I like it, but I wont believe it until I see it. I had big block Cudas' (still have a couple) long before I discovered 5.0 Mustangs. I don't see myself as ever getting one to modify, but would make a nice driver for my wife.

i hear they are supposed to be priced to compete with the mustang. i think they look awesome, and it is a very good step for dodge.

Yep, the Mustang will have company if that car ever makes it to production. They did a really good job from what I see in those pictures of capturing the original e body cars.

I think that thing sucks. I would never give up my mustang for one of the ugly things. that car belongs in the 1970's and nothing from the 70's was good!

i agree, its nice looking and everything, but theres no passion in the design. I think that the new 05 looks very good, and is a design marvel, but look at everyone else: chevy with the concept camaro, looks like the old ones, and now dodge with the Challenger! I mean do something diferent, dont follow others i always say. Just to prove a point that chevy needs to copy ford, look at the 67 camaro and the 67 mustang.... huh looks pretty damn similar to me, exclude minor here and theres.:eek:

I think it looks funny too, the front end seems very small compared to the rear. It looks like it has a fat ass. The grill needs some work too, not sure what but i dont like it. I like the GTO more.

As far as I am concerned, let them build the beast, its just more compition on the street! What I am worried about is these cars the Stang, GTO, Charger, Camaro, they are all getting bigger, and heavier, just like in the 70's. I mean 2 tons of sports car is just not right, and to get the beast's moving they keep putting more powerful motors in them, at a time when gas is going up again. I am just concerd that when the Babie boomer bite the dust, and if gas goes up any more, that the F$*%ing imports will end up owning the streat.... See where I am going with this, its time to start thinking about blown 4.6 and 5.0 alum. blocks and heads in fox sized and weight class cars.....

well...considering a Mustang, Charger, GTO, etc are considered muscle/pony cars, they're going to be heavy. Muscle cars were built in the 60's and 70's and sports cars typcially are better in the twisties and have IRS (350Z, Vette (i think), Porsche, etc) and are usually lighter...
As for heavier cars...until we as americans give up our addiction and stop buying american cars, we're stuck with what ever the big three think we will like. Just like in the 70 and 80's.... I don't bitch about gas prices because I know that if it was THAT important to me, i'd go out a buy a 4 banger manual tranny that gets 30 mpg and cost less in insurance.

Looks like everyone is starting to copy ford in bringing back the retro styled muscled cars. If they do build the 6.1 charger, maybe it will entice ford to make the 4.6 or 5.4 DOHC standard in the GTs and a 6.1 in the cobras

Here's the only Dodge I'd consider trading my 05 Mustang GT for, however, I'd really miss my stang!
