Umm I can't tell you what that picture has done to me, for fear of getting this thread blocked but I need to go clean up now. I know by hook or crook I'm going to land myslef in one of these and, that pictures almost brought tears to my eyes. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. Good god why do we have to wait until 2009 for this!

 TMI!...TMI! 
How about buying it in early 2007 as a 2008 model?...
Please spare us any details that scenario may have brought about...

Hey, for what it's worth, Eddie Alterman from MPH Magazine has requested that the cover image shown on this post be taken down. I guess he's concerned with DCX's possible reaction?
I had emailed him a few questions about the article, and he asked if there was anything I could do to help him avoid getting into any hot water about that cover image. I told him I would post a request, but also that I am powerless over this situation! LOL...anyway...8 page story in MPH due out January 10th.....
As you said... for what its worth, I went back to my post and pixelated the image to obliterate the Challenger image on the cover...  As I mention in my edited post I had no idea that MPH had not released the magazine already...  Once its loose on the Internet like it was when I found it, how do you get it back in Pandora's garage? 
Did the guy from MPH indicate how he thought the image got out? Printing company maybe???  Or could someone from MPH have released the image early to raise sales of the issue... I know I will be buying a couple of copies (in disguise O'course...  ).
XS 
I had never even heard of that magazine before I saw the cover pics...but now I cant wait to get a copy of that edition. Doubt DCX can get too ticked off over it. Judging from the collective reaction here if that thing is close to production they have hit a home run this time.

Taking a quick look at that grille, I thought the R/T logo in the lower right corner was a Mustang logo
Only problem with that picture is that DCX doesn't do R/T anymore. It is all SRT now, so I'm obliged to say that is a photoshopped pic created from the spy photos.

Not true. There are R/T Stratus, Chargers, used to be R/T Neons.... R/T still is around. SRT is the top of the line, though.

geez you guys are a bunch of winey snots. it is cool, yes...but it aint the end of the world. nations are not rising and falling over the re-release of a poor handling, ill built car. (that does look great)
let them build it, then complain.
I am certain that DCX will copy the exact suspension from the 1970-71 era to make it underperfom all vehicles in its class. 
It has been over 35 years that Chrysler Enthusiasts have had something to get excited about, and the best you can do is call is us a bunch of "winey snots". Well son, I am pretty sure you are just a Mustang fan. (Please see post above)
This is a Mopar thing, and quite obviously you don't get it.

 Half of the Chargers at the local Dodge dealer are Charger R/Ts, not a single "SRT" to be found... The SRT8 versions are the top end peformance ones having the 6.1 Hemi instead of the 5.7 MDS Hemi the Charger R/T has.
Go check out the various versions offered at the Dodge website: http://www.dodge.com/charger/home_static.html
The spy pics ARE real, the magazine cover IS real... only the conspiracy theory has been photoshopped!

If they make an SRT8 Challenger, who in their right minds would get an SRT8 Charger?
I just hope they make the 5.7L standard and do not DARE cheapen it by offering a "base" version w/a lousy V6! Feh!
You mean, like that "base" 318 Challenger you have?
Without the V-6, it will have minimal sales. Most of the Pony car sales come from the V-6 models. If you don't want the V-6, then buy a HEMI. Easy fix.

You obviously dont know how photoshop works. This picture couldnt have been made from the spy shots, its a compelty different picture. Its one thing to photoshop an R/T badge, totally different to photoshop an entire car, at a different angle. And like said before, they do make R/T's

Yah im sure Chrysler will love to lose out on millions of dollars so you can be happy that no one gets a V6 model. Like I said before, I can care less what else they offer, as long as a HEMI and a 6 speed are on the option list.

I swear so many people here wont be happy unless they are complaining about something. Lets see hear: -Awesome styling-check -More power than most of us can deal with-check -Most likely comparable in price to Mustang-check -Everything we have been asking for from DCX for 30 years-check BUT we still have people who will complain if someone wants one with a V-6. Do the slant-6's and 318 Challengers lessen anyones 440 or Hemi 70 Challenger? No of course not. So why is this a deal at all now? They do have to make money remember. And how many times do people who know have to say that this is legit? Not just has DCX released a sketch, but almost every major automotive news source has run the story AND a reputable spy pic source delicered the pics. Some of the spy pics did look a little funny but thats only because a few people decided to lighten tha front end a little in photochop. Car Connection has the originals and the grill area is much darker because these were taken with a crappy camera. So to everyone who isnt convinced or has to complain, pinch yourself because this is no dream. Here is our car, so be ready to bust out that checkbook and get to your local Dodge dealer by at the latest 2007.

in order for this particular car to be successful (remember, compete with Mustang) it must have a V6 option.. Second, remember when the 70-71's and some 72 had the Slant Six as a Base? yes, everyones beloved 70-71..atleast i can tell people my 74 challenger had a V8 standard..  but really, the stangs come in a V6 and V8, and this is to fight Mustang in sales and time slips. Some of you are being silly with the non-6 cylinder, Manual 6 speed only way of thinking. Car has to be made for everyone like the Mustang and Camaros were/will be. Think, for the car to last, some people that are low on cash, or they are girls that want one but don't need the 8, like the car but can't afford it or don't want a V8..so they buy a v6 stang, one less Sale for the Dodge, x so many other similar cases...and the car won't last long. thats my

Good point about the V-6, most stang sales are the v-6. Hey if they do a 6 ill make sure my girlfriend gets one as well. As for me, I have already made up my mind and set up a seperate savings account for the "Challenger fund." I feel like I went back in time to 10 years before I was born with the Mustang/Challenger options out there. Its a dream come true.
