As a mopar guy the 2010 Challenger takes 5 years to be made because Dodge doesn't want to compete with Ford.. They want to destroy ford... I can see it now... 440 HP STOCK with a 6 speed tranny old school style and ready to kick some ***

RE: Dodge coming after the Mustang
i am hoping that dodge would not price the challenger as an elite car like the shelby because that would mean either killing the viper projects, or competing with themselves. which they wouldnt do....

Seriously. It takes 5 years to make a car that can compete? Yeah, I'd say that's definitely a sign that the mustang is one hell of a car.
I think a lot of companies probably feel the pressure of the popularity of the new stang though, you can't watch tv or flip through a magazine without seeing one in a contest or on a tv show.

By the time 2010 comes around with the way gas is now, the challenger is going to have a 4 cyl, or v6 in it. Like it or not it seems the HP wars are coming to an end.

Let's not forget the new Accord even, with the hybrid V6 that makes upwards of 255 hp & 232 ft lbs... while still managing 29city/37hwy mpg.

RE: Dodge coming after the Mustang
I thought the GTO was stupid when it first came out. Yeah it looks good but its nothing like the original GOAT. Its like some car from austraila or something that GM just bought. At least FORD comes up withtheir own stuff
