Jesus the interior on that thing is just SWEET. If they put that thing anywhere near Mustang GT prices I think I might aquire one... that car is seriously the best looking of the retro styling so far.. and 425 hp... wow. It will probaby be well over 40k though

RE: Challenger at the Detroit Auto show
40k??? im thinking more like GT pricing for the V6 model and around 33k for the V8....
i could be way off my rocker but i think i read those figures in a car magazine a few days ago...could of been for something else but yeah....
i could never see it go for 40k....muscle cars historically havent costed a ton of money...affordable performance is the mustangs mission statement...hopefully its similar for another muscle car.

RE: Challenger at the Detroit Auto show
actually i believe i heard those figures as a estimate for the new camaro if it goes into production....the camaro and challenger have similar lines.....they did back in the classic era too so oh well i guess.....but still.....i really hope these go into production because competition is good....both for fun...and for pricing.....once the camaro and challenger take market share away from the mustang u will see prices drop a bit maybe...and a rekindling of a whole lot of fun...muscle car wars 2..... :-D

That new Chally looks good. All they have to do is build it.
$38-40K wouldn't surprise me at all.
Even in 1970, those cars were NOT cheap if they were dressed out and had a big block in them.
Hemi Chally was probably $4000 minimum in '70 and more likely $4500+
Hemi option was about $900 and the car base price was about $2400. Best deal was 440/6bbl, that deal was only about $275 extra.
I know something about those cars as I owned at least 1 for 23 years.

I think it will be similar in price to the charger.. and the r/t charger with the 6.1 is almost 39 right now..... I hope they can get it 35 or less... but probably not gonna happen.
