That drawing is from Motor Trend I think. It was part of an article called "Cars we would like to see built" or something like that. Also had drawings of a new Ferrari Dino and some other stuff, but regardless, I think it was all done by Motor Trend artists.

ORIGINAL: BadStratRT

all i have seen thus far were drawings by hopeful owners.
i would like someone else to back up this information.

heres what i found...take this as you will...its 5 years away..by that time, factory 4 cylinder cars will be building 350hp, and the musatng wil be leaps and bounds above that...go figure..dodge dropped the ball again

yea but 5 years from now when dodge says the challenger (whats suppose to compete with the stang) is still only getting 350 hp from the 5.7 and 425 from the 6.1, the stang is gonna have a lot more

2Coff - I agree with you about the bitching.

It's going to be here in 4 years, not 5. It says 2010 model year, meaning 2009.

In saying that, in 4 years, the Hemi could be putting out more horses. Many things could happen in 4 years. So quit the whining people.

There's good reason to whine about it. First of all, its missed the retro muscle car mark. Second, the design sucks for a concept... I'd rather be driving a Scion Xb. Third, "could" doesn't cut it. I don't think the Hemi will get that big of a Hp boost, but the Mds system would be nice for it...

First, who says there is an official "retro muscle car mark". That's like following clothing trends.

Second, I garuntee you that the Challenger will not look like these concepts.

Third, how do you know what Chrysler will do. They might boost it up quite a bit, you nevere know.

I agree 5 years is a ways off. DC will for sure make the hemis better. But the bad part about 5 years off is that there is plenty of time to kill it, or set it up to fail to validate the coupes don't sell crap.
