Welcome back Greg... I was wondering where you were!

Less than two months to the NAIAS Detroit show... who knows what will be revealed...!?! ...Production Challenger tweaks...Challenger T/A (based on SEMA Challenger S/S styling)...Challenger SRT-8...New size production Hemi...Super Hemi...'Cuda Concept...???...I hope its worth the wait!

One of the many rumors floating around:

From a thread on Allpar:

I had a older customer come in to the showroom yesterday, asking if we had any 2006 Chrysler 300C models left. Started talking to him and found out that he works for Chrysler, and he is a platform engineer. He metioned that the he and a few guys are working on the Challenger suspension settings. I started laughing, thinking he was joking. He pointed to a Top Banana 2006 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T will had out in the parking lot, and said that the Challenger will offer a T/A model, w/ very similar setup as the Charger Daytona R/T. He said he seen one mockup of it, and the color mocked the concept in a HEMI Orange color. It will have retro T/A stripes, blacked out decals on the hood, and a sporty hood scoop.

As we talked I showed him a picture of the Challenger R/T Super Stock Concept from SEMA. He said he has seen the final bodywork of the car, and it looks pretty close to the Challenger at SEMA. He said the LED tailights are a GO! He only had one complaint about the new Challenger... "...theres no chrome on the car, unlike the ones from the 70's.". He said he hasn't seen the final interior design yet. But the exterior is pretty close to SEMA Concept. He said the door handles, six shooter LED lamps, and LED tailights are going to be on the production model. I did forget to ask him however, about the B-pillar.

I sure hope the story is true!

You know how most opperate, they kick the new models out and it creates a media stir... Then the kick out one with all the cool retro graphix and there is a media stir.... The the SRT8 will come out and the media us abuzz again... It's all about keeping the car in the limelight for as long as possible. I hope the T/A does come back but I hope it's more than stripes and trim... It would be cool if it had an independet rear, ajustible suspension for handling, limited options to keep it light and perhaps non warranty soft compound tires that bite hard but don't last long??? Thoughts?
