Re: What other cars are you looking into?

Well actually none, but if for some 'strange' reason DCX either 'pulls the plug' on this project or no longer keeps the Challenger 'true to concept', then I will most definitely purchase one of the following (in the order of desire), as nothing else I've seen to-date has really 'struck my fancy'...

1.) '70-'74 Dodge 'Challenger' / Plymouth 'cuda (restored)

2.) '80-'85 Ferrari '308GTSi' / '308GTS Quattrovalvole' / '85-'89 '328GTS'

3.) '68-'72 Chevrolet 'El Camino SS' (restored)

4.) '68-'73 Chevrolet 'Corvette' (restored)

5.) '05-'08 Ford 'GT' (but, more than likely, it'll be financially unobtainable)

Three possibilities:

1) DCX produces the Challenger: I buy it (with the most powerful engine option, hopefully the 6.4).

2) DCX doesn't produce the Challenger: I stick with my 2005 Mustang GT, perhaps I could mod it a bit, nothing extreme only trying to gain some 30-40 hp (CAI and a retune ought to do the trick).

3) DCX doesn't produce the Challenger and I happen to have the money to spend on another (more powerful) car. In this case I'd be looking at: a) the new BMW M3 (with a 4.0 Liter V8, 415 hp) b) Audi RS4 c) Audi S6 (V10, 5.2 Liter, 450 hp) d) the new Mitsubishi Evo X (if they keep the look similar to the concept introduced in Tokyo. I am not a ricer fan, but this one is really cool...) e) Chevrolet Corvette, either the regular or the Z06.
All in all it would depend on the money, of course...
Another possibility could be the Mustang Shelby GT500, even though I get the feeling that real availability won't be there until my2008, seen that the 07's will be so few with so many buyers...

Re: What other cars are you looking into?

Consider other cars? What are you? Nuts? :-)

Seriously, my other choice would be the Mustang. Barring that, I'd stay old school and look for a nice 67 Charger to park next to my 66. The Charger would be much cheaper than any new car and more fun too. Plus a good 440 would probably wipe the new Hemis. I know my 66 can give a 5.7 Hemi in the Ram truck a 1/2 mile head start and in a 1/4 mile race and still beat it (no mods!). LOL
