HAHA, the challenger is just looks, thats it. the carbon fiber'd concept weighs in at 4200lbs, and like i said, with carbon fiber. and we are pretty much positive that it wont make production with the carbon fiber. infact they arent even sure they are producing it yet. they said that if they do produce it it will only be a limited quanitity car. 4200lbs(if not more) + 425hp = no competition for the GT500(3900lbs + 475(+)hp).

That is not the next challenger he meant.
I think he meant the next supercar challenger.

If that is what both of those cars weigh, they are both porkers, as my 76 Pontiac weighs right around there and it is a BIG car.

I was not even talking supercars except that most of the time they see the newer tech applied first. I just think we are in for some very impressive times. We have seen the diesel wars heat up but mpg has stay about the same. Now we are seeing it heat up in the gas wars to. Within the next 3-4 years I expect to see in the gas arena 600+ hp in a car that does not pay the guzzler tax. The pony wars heat up again with the Challenger and Camaro coming back. Don't expect the Challenger to stay at 425 either. With the GT500 have 475 and the Camaro possible getting the LS7 at 505 I expect Dodge to answer.
