2008 Dodge Challenger

Do you like the car? I know its not a Ford mustang, but I think it matches the original better. I would add side exhaust pipes, side stripes, chrome deep dish rims and chrome hood latches. I think they should match the outside of the car better and I bet they would sell more.

I love it; at least it resembles the original.

I like it ok. But the nose should be longer to have the same proportions as the original. But, a longer nose might adversely affect handling. So, I guess it's a wash.

Can I get it in a hemi?

I like it, probably even a little more than the original. IMHO, Dodge has been hitting some homers with styling lately...I wish I could say the same for Ford (and I don't care about the crap that GM puts out, except maybe the Vette). Mustang good, all the Jap/Euro-styled stuff bad (Focus, Freestyle, Fusion, etc.)

I agree with the deeper wheels.

I want one. I like the retro styling that the big 3 are doing. I just wish gas prices would retro to the 60's again.

it reminds me of the '67-'69 camaro as much as the charger, maybe its just the angle the picture was taken at.

They need a chrome bumper to break up that double chin look. At least it's a two door and not some re-worked family car.

I like it and i think its pretty awesome but if your a die hard muscle car fan (like me) nothing compares to the original challengers that where in the 70's

I love it. My first car was a '70 'Cuda, and this looks soooo much like it.
