RE: More Cuda Derived from Charger
Mostly into sport cars, but I think that the past with muscle cars was great, so why not keep it that way? Plus that car doesn't look aredynamic, a problem with the Charger and all muscle cars. And the looks just look outdated... just my opinion.

Awesome work!! Although when I see that and think of what could have been..... 
sorry I just needed a moment.
As far as the retro styling, IT RULES!! Considering that 60's and early 70's muscle cars are setting records at auctions as of late, I don't think an auto manufacturer can go wrong designing and building one(based on that era). yeah, yeah, the PT , prowler, thunderbird yada yada was 40s/50s styling.
As far as the aerodynamics comment, which was rich coming from a Viper owner. Cannot/should not be applied to every car. Styling would pretty much have to take a back seat or at least be compromised for the sake of drag coefficient, and for what? So you can lay claim to a ridiculous top end?? Hardly useful for street duty. When Hennessy and other tuners put all the ground effect crap/spoilers etc on a Viper to clean up the aerodynamics so it could break 200mph, I thought great it's fast but looks like bird dung now. I'll sacrifice top end for some looks any day. JMHO.

RE: More Cuda Derived from Charger
Thank you again guys..I do these for the fun of it (unless someone wants to pay me ) hehehe
and it's hearing you guys enjoying them and snaggin them for your wallpapers and such that makes it worth while. I really appreciate all the kind words and I listen carefully to the constucktive crits as well.
As for the crosshair grill well that is the one thing about Dodges that i can't stand personally. I'm just not a fan of that design cue. it was the only part of the Charger concept that i didn't like hehe but that's just me.
Anyway you guys make this worth while thank you
