If you want to drive a pathetic little wind-up toy, then knock yourself out. I like a car with substance and POWER (I won't even look at a car under 200hp). You can have your SmartCar or whatever...I'll take that bad-boy with a Hemi anyday.

I am glad to hear that you guys like the look. We really missed the boat on the Charger making it a 4 door. Selling like crazy though.

Like Challengers past, this concept packs more than its share of muscle under the hood in the form of an SRT-tuned 6.1-liter, 425-hp, 420-lb-ft Hemi V8, linked to a six-speed manual transmission. Chrysler estimates the fully functional concept should rocket 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, clip the quarter-mile in 13 seconds and attain a top speed of 174 mph.

(1) It's a concept, there hasn't been an announcement about production yet. They may announce at NAIAS next week, or not...
(2) It's heavy - over 4100 pounds.
(3) If the 300C and Charger are any indication, the SRT8 version with the big "Hemi" will be close to $40K.

all drag/funny cars use a hemi design.
why do they blow up?
UA_Iron said:
Not the same thing, at all. The engine currently in production is not related in any way to the old 426 Hemi from the '60s, or the Chrysler Firepower Hemi engine from the '50s, which are the basis for the drag racing engines.
As for why they blow up, I dunno, I guess they under-engineered the new design.

this is ONLY a concept at the moment, but seeing as how Dodge seems to be one of the few American mfgs that has any balls, this will most likely see production if they can find the space to actually build them...
production is at it's limit in Canada now on the lX platform...
this should be a winner even at $40K... i think it looks amazingly hot, and the 420hp Hemi will be a rip snorting bag of fun...
i recently traded in a Magnum RT due to the shitty gas mileage, much lower than the claimed number on the sticker... it was a hoot to drive, but $50 a week was a bit too much than i wanted to pay in gas...
Dodge quality is not on par with the Japanese, nor German counterparts though... not even close IMO...

Magnum, 300 and Charger. 4 inch shorter wheel base on this model. Might still be on that platform though.
This is just concept though.

They've got V8s that work. You can get 1000 HP out of a supercharged Ford "Modular" V8 from the last-generation Mustang SVT Cobra. Chevy's got the Corvette with the LS2 V8 and the Corvette Z06, both of which are good enough stock, but the tuners can get quite a bit more out of them.
So why are the tuners avoiding the "Hemi"?
Chrysler's got the Viper, which speaks for itself, and what else? A de-contented version of the last-generation Mercedes E-Class platform and a truck engine.
Friends don't let friends drive MOPAR.
4100 pounds!?! great googly moogly!! That's almost as heavy as some of the heifers in my gym!!
It looks like a mustang rip off.
Why is the viper only 500 and some hp when this "V-8" is 425?
What is the big deal of a hemi!?! There are a bunch of "hemispherical" engines used in cars all the time now.
OH, and it had better have a musical horn since it looks like a newage charger.

The original Challenger was no lightweight either. It was almost as heavy as a Coronet/Charger. In 1970 the Challenger weighed 3800 lbs, when a Mustang weighed 3250.
It IS a Mustang rip off. So were the originals. Face it, Ford created the "pony car" genre with the Mustang in 1964. Plymouth was first to the game a year later with the Barracuda, which was little more than a Valliant with a fishbowl grafted onto the back. Chevy didn't get in on the act 'til 1967 with the Camaro. Dodge finally got their own version of the Barracuda in 1970 with the Challenger.
