yah it is supposedly similar to the LX so it should start at low 20s for a 6, its all in the chassis! pretty much a 2 door Charger/300 with some new skin. I wonder how it will look with the Bently grill

Wheres the duck tail spoiler Wheres the TA hood Unfortuanately I'm a guy with a mid-high 20's budget and knowing DC it's gonna be a 30k + car
I'll bet there will be aftermarket shaker setups available pretty quickly.
I think they'll price it in the stang range - probably not cheaper since its an all-new design but I'd say within a close proximity. 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...

Yet another link... 5,000 to 10,000 annually?!?... Ya got to be kidding! 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

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.

That concept is sexy. Schwing!!! If they insist on putting a crosshair grille in it, thats the only way to do it. 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!!!

The early releases will probably include a 6 and a low HP hemi or just standard 8..Thats the lure then they pop out with the all out Hemi/shaker or R/T model a year later to make the hot rodders happy and keep sales up..Each year will have the bigger and better to peak/hold interest..Ive seen it a million times..
1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles..
A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..
If you love someone set them free.. If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!

Mark is the guy that is seated. The guy standing is a friend named Eric, and the seated girl is Eric's girlfriend at the time. I still need to get you more old pictures... did I ever send you any yet?

The car looks off, the grille looks pasted on, the pictures look fakish to me like the "challenger" bits are out of proportion to the rest of the car.
