Re: Future of Challenger?
I think it would be great to have a backseat delete and make it a real coupe lol. that should shed about 50-100lbs

Re: Future of Challenger?
I was thinking since they built the ss drag car and its about 800 lbs lighter than a stock chally you never know maybe over the next few years they will use the techniques used to lighten that car to also lighten the production Challenger its a good bet they will do this.

Re: Future of Challenger?
Someone is doing that for the mustangs, specifically for the SGT I think. I saw the prototype and it looked really well done. I would really like to have that done, but I think I need the practicality of the back ones for my DD.

Re: Future of Challenger?
Grab the 1975 Challenger/Cuda prototype photos and start there for generation two!

Re: Future of Challenger?
I remember well the landau tops and the rich Corinthian leather!
I ran into a local guy back a few years ago who had like 6 of them in his yard he was piecing together. The one car he was in ran fine but the interior looked like someone took a cheese grater to the seats,but for 20+ years old I was amazed how well the car held together. I thought to myself good for him that is what a car guys passion is all about working with what you have and finding that niche. The Monte Carlos were big in my hood back in the day.

I am glad that they did not build it. The design was bad.  See for yourself: 1975 Barracuda - Popular Hot Rodding Magazine

Re: Future of Challenger?
What the hell was that thing I'm glad they didn't pursue that design,but they should have built the charger concept for 2000 that car was just like a evolved charger would have looked like.It actually looked like a UK charger from the early 70's.The UK charger was a cool car and Ive only seen a few of them.
The fish that got away looked like a left over from the old TV series Buck Rodgers thank god we all dodged that bullet. Thankyou for sharing that with us.
