General DiscussionThis section contains general discussion about the new Dodge Challenger concept. If it does not fit into a more specific area, it probably belongs in here. (Dodge Challenger General Discussion)
There is no replacement for displacement. If I am not mistaken the Shelby has a Roots Blower. If you add a supercharger and make the same modifications to the Challenger, you will awaken the sleeping beast.
I saw my first Shelby Mustang convertible in 1969 and fell in love. And a friend of mine in high school had a Challenger. I fell in love with the looks of that car, too. I vowed that someday, if they ever came back, and they were done right, I'd own one of each. That time has finally come and I'm totally pumped. My wallet is screaming, but I'm totally pumped.
The Shelby will have a new stablemate soon. My dream garage is complete!

very nice comparison. Thanks. Looks like the challenger and gt500 sit at about the same height. how do they compare on in length? Is it that obvious that the challenger is bigger
