It doesn't do much for me but it's a nice enough car. Hopefully Dodge will have success with it.

I like the looks of them, sorta takes me back to the good old days. Performance wise, certainly no competition for the Corvette if they're stock. Not sure what they weigh, plus doesn't look like they'll hook up much with that rear tire.

With gas prices climbing now, I hope it gets decent mileage for use as a daily driver, with just 13.9 in the quarter.
I liked it when it came out in concept form a few years ago. I kinda lost interest as time went by. The Challenger is rated at around 13mpg city and 18 highway I think I will stick with my Vette. Faster, better looking, and much better gas mileage. Pretty much a no-brainer.
Cool looking car. I like all old and new muscle cars.........

I've owned two Chrysler products over the years. I figure that's enough to last a lifetime.
Worst build quality I've ever seen on any car I've ever owned ... too many production shortcuts, too many cheap pieces, exposed wiring, too much sloppy assembly and bad QC. Unless they've experienced a dramatic turnaround in the last few years, which I doubt, I'd never own another Chrysler product.

13.9 quarter mile with the SRT 8! Whoever designed it didn't care so much about handling either.
We dynoed one at the shop and the estimated 425 hp, at the crank, engine only made 315 hp at the wheels!?! That's 26% parasitic loss! My ram 1500 made 247 hp at the wheels from 345 at the crank. No wonder crudsler is going bankrupt! And it has a 55000$ price tag!
Bye Bye chrysler!
I think they look very cool. They're not in the same class as the Corvette, and they aren't supposed to be. Unfortunately, the timing of their release couldn't be worse with the current economy and fuel prices (3 years ago this car would be a major hit).
Seen one on the road the other day, they are actually really nice. I gave the dude a thumbs up, and he smiled like a kid in a candy store. He probably thought I was going to be a snobby vette owner, no way.
I do like the new Camaro better a little better, but design wise, its a good step in the right direction from Chrysler.
