Now as to what I want to see from either Mopar or the aftermarket in the '09 R/T additionally heheh to make this perfect IMO :
1) The/or similar to the Concept steering wheel
2)
Wrap-around Console my biggest pet-peeve missing (plz take out cup holders)
3) Pistol Grip similar or better than Concept (true to '70's shape but in metal matching accents)
4) The Concept's
Rippled Retro Leather Seats
5) Reconfiguration of the front lighting assembly :
... have only the HID Lo's in the outer lamps only
... have the inner lamps match in color when lit
... have the flasher in the bottom bumper and used as RDLs (Running daytime Lights) exactly like the '70 model
PS , I will , if they don't for :
4) Go to a custom shop and have them build me
Rippled Retro Leather Seats
5) Since the outer beam is a Hi/Lo HID and I want matching illumination - I would buy another HID Hi/Lo set and swap them with the inner lamp housing completely (hopefully circumference allows) , and have my DRL wiring + flashers moved to the lower bumper lights
Now I just can't wait to see if the R/T will get a different hood (hope not) with its functional Air Traps like the SRT8 , and some different type of graphics (again I'm not sure what would look good on this specific body architecture which is very differently sized on the flank compared to the '70's original body)
I might in the end go with the more expensive SRT8 6-speed-manual for the hood / striping !??
If any of you obtain NEW Information (compared to above) on the '09+ Challenger R/T 's (Automatic and/or Manual) , please post here in this specific thread exactly created for this model .
