very encouraging to hear that. more and more things keep pointing to this being put into production!

Hello everyone,

This is my first post. I am a huge fan of this great country's original muscle cars regardless of make and model. I don't hate on anyone's ride of choice. To each his own. Here is the letter I sent to both Dodge and DaimlerChrysler regarding this incredible vehicle:

I am a 37 year old male who has always had an admiration for America’s original muscle cars. I can attribute that to growing up in Los Angeles in the early and mid 70’s and seeing all those beautiful cars rolling through the city streets. It would be reinforced through television and cinema as these vehicles were romanticized in all their glory whether they were being driven by the good guys or the villains. Unfortunately, I was neither in a financial or demographic situation to afford such luxury, so I ended my childhood only dreaming of one day owning such a classic. As the 80’s and 90’s rolled through, automakers for whatever reason, started to design cars that were all too round for my taste. So here I was, in my 30’s and not seeing any car that even closely appealed to my version of what a car should look like and all hopes of owning THE car was quickly fading.
Fast forward to 2003 and I start seeing glimpses of Ford Motor Company’s concept that would replace their existing New Edge Mustang. Talk about a dream come true. I knew from that moment I was going to own that car. True to my word, I purchased an unbelievably beautiful satin silver 2005 Mustang GT in September ‘05. This car is so stunning I almost don’t want to take it out of the garage but instead park it inside a museum to keep the harmful elements safely away. With the huge success of this “old new” style from Ford, I started hearing grumblings from GM and DC about bringing back the Camaro and Challenger respectively, with similar homage to their storied pasts. Ever since a spy photo caught what looked to be a Challenger concept in November, the chat rooms and forums have been lighting up with comments about the good, the bad and the uglies.
All I can say is: “what a beautiful piece of American pie”. I love this concept so much I can’t stand it. Knowing I would have to wait two, possibly three years or maybe forever, if for whatever reason DC decides to pull the plug on this project, to own one is driving me insane, no pun intended. I have read all the negative feedback about being “too retro” and it’s time to move on to the future and quit trying to relive our youth etc…etc. My comment for those guys is there are more than enough vehicles out there for everyone to enjoy. Whether your ride of choice is a sleek European model or an economic Japanese car, they are available for you. For myself and a few hundred thousand Americans, as the popularity of Ford’s Mustang proves, there is also room out there for original American muscle purists.
There is an old saying “less is more”. There is another one that states, “keep it simple stupid”. Those two quotes are what make muscle cars so beautiful and endearing. All it takes is a simple clean chassis and some big bad tires and wheels to give it the right stance and you have yourself a great looking ride. All the other extras like ground effect kits and high spoilers don’t do any justice to muscle cars. The Challenger concept is exactly that. It doesn’t need any aftermarket products to finish its look. It is already finished. DC, if this car goes into production, not only will I have one sitting in my garage next to my ’05 Mustang, but my brother will be buying one also. And if the price is right, perhaps we could get one for our Dad too. The question is not whether you could afford to build this car, but more accurately, can you afford NOT to build it? Thank you for your time.

Surreal: I agree with what you say, I am 37 too, I got a 2005 Mustang GT as well (Legend Lime though, I wanted to go retro' as well color-wise) !
But when the Challenger gets here, my Mustang GT will have to go, I don't have enough space for the two of them, even though it will be a very sad moment as I love my 05 'Stang...

Done! And I've never owned a Challenger in my life. I would buy THIS car!

Great letter rcaponong ! welcome to the forum. I have never owned a dodge, only gm cars in the past, 70 camaro-z, 78 Trans Am, 86 camaro-z. When dodge makes this car I will buy one, They did a incredible job of capturing the look of a modern muscle car with this updated Challenger. How they did it on a 116 wheelbase car makes it even more amazing.

I immediately sent DC a congratulatory e-mail encouraging them to build the Challenger. I had one in high school and never got over it. I also begged for the 6.4 Hemi crate engine. And one in red.

Done, even told em they are pulling someone away from a Stang
