Wonder if it will be affordable to regular folk, or if it's just gonna be for the priviledged? Guess we will just have to wait & see. Top of the line 300 SRT-8 totally optioned out costs about 45 grand and that's the Chrysler group's flagship. Chances are, this car will sticker for the mid-to-high thirties for the SRT version. The expensive one's gonna be the Firepower. 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Hemi Orange U-code 4-speed 1971 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V-12 4-speed 2+2 Signal Red.

I wonder how it will look with the Bently grill Its supposed to be built on the next generation LX platform. Dodge is gonna get the Challenger and (rumor has it) the Firepower (or whatever itll be called) will be built on the upcoming Viper platform and will be a direct competitor to the standard Corvette while the next Gen. Viper will be a Z06 killer. 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Hemi Orange U-code 4-speed 1971 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V-12 4-speed 2+2 Signal Red.

Top optioned models will run over $30K I'm sure but think of how expensive the hemi cars were back in the day in relation to the others. Actually, I have been told that some versions of the car will have a factory Shaker hood... lets just say I totally trust my source on that bit of insight... As for the duck tail spoiler and T/A spoiler, no word from my source... but it seems likely over the life of the LY series. I am sure simple changes like those will be done at some point to garner as many niche sales as possible... I can't hardly wait... XS

Unless the people begging and whining for the past 2 years are full of it and won't back up their talk, the first year's sales should top 50,000... Well guys, looks like DCX may call your "bluff"... what ya gonna do? As I stated before, I WILL buy one if it looks like that and is priced to compete with the Mustang... won't even wait for rebates... won't be able to control myself that long... Here is the new link: http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ EDIT - OOOPS, direct link did not work... scroll down the business page to find the link.. XS Last edited by xs29j8; 11/21/05 11:25 AM.

I have several pictures of the black Superbird. It belongs to a friend in Austin, Texas and is the one that was in Dazed & Confused... I even have a video of a TV news story about a Mopar meet in San Antonio that briefly showed the car. The car was restored to the original B5 Blue about 10 years ago... attached is a picture of how it looks now. XS 2158406-KenB4406BBLSuperbirdSAMeet1.jpg (184 downloads)

It looks like a stacked 71 grille. I like it..... That is beautiful and I hope it is priced competitively with the Mustang. From what I see here that concept does a better job of emulating the original than the new mustang does. Fingers crossed!!! 2017 Contusion Blue Challenger T/A 392 M6 "BLKNBLU"

Yeah, I agree that they don't scream photoshop... but there is just something about them... or maybe I am crazy. Whatever the case may be, I just wonder if they would produce a car today with such a small rear window. Don't get me wrong, I love it like the old ones... I think the drawings front end looked a little better than the photo... more deminsion. I gotta say though... it is AWESOME. I don't know if I would be a buyer though. Gotta have my truck. And if there is to be an additional $35K car to be purchased, it will be vintage. But if I could talk my wife into letting go of the Acura around 2010, then maybe I can have my cake and eat it too!
