RE: New Challenger?
I too love the functional ram air hood scoops with the butterflies.
The Lil' Red Express doesn't have ram air, it has more of a CAI/fresh air as it just gets the air from in front of the radiator core support. My '88 Daytona Shelby Z was very similar as it got cooler air from the same general area and the SRT-4's get their air from between the inner and outer fenders. None of them are ram air, they are more of a cold air intake. To be ram air it has to scoop up air using the vehicles movement and generally a scoop of some sort to increase the amount of air going into the engine, essentially forcing more air in like a really weak wannabe supercharger.

RE: New Challenger?
The ram air as seen on the Challenger prototype is similar to GM's implementation on the 96-2002 Camaro SS. The intake is actually further up the hood than the actual air intake point. Those two scoops may have fed air into a carburated engine back in the day, but throttle bodies are now usually in the front by the radiator and not on top. I know you know this already.

RE: 2006 Dodge Challenger Concept:
it looks a bit like the camaro concept. easy to say right now, but i havent had a chance to see the pics side by side. Its not a bad looking car, but the pics of the one that was built, looks like they took peices of and old challenger and fab'd some new parts, and slapped it together. just my opinions

RE: New Challenger?
Hmmm...I dunno if I like the Challenger better than the Charger at this point. The lines on the Challenger seem sort of "forced"...that's the best way I can put it. It reminds me of some of the old vintage print adds that Mopar released for the Roadrunner and 'Cuda...you know, the ones with the crazy, exaggerated cartoon cars. It definately looks like they took the original and squished it to fit on this new platform.
