[TeeWJay426]

Who has heard about this? Could it be that someone at DCX was actually listening to the enthusiasts after all???

Tom, wouldn't that be great?   :thumbs: I'd buy one and be able to say I have a Cuda and a Challenger!

Hi Mark! How are ya? Found my way here- seems like a good board!

Are you planning on the 25th cruise?

I hear ya on the new Chally.... as long as they don't muck it up! Needs the 6.1 with a manual tranny, though. Would getting one of those put me into the elite e-body owners club?

Tom it is good, albeit a bit slower. (which is good as posts stay around longer)

Yes, I am going on the Mopar cruise, and for all interested who live in new england check out the thread at moparts entitled "New England MOPARTS Cruise - Saturday, June 25th, 2005 "

And I wouldn't worry about any elite club, Mr. Hemi/Convertible! :laughing:

Time will tell.  Even if it is just rumor, they should be planning a competitor to Mustang.  GM is rumored to be working on a Camaro ressurection too.  But as of now, no one from the corporations (DC or GM) is willing to say. 

Is DCX is backtracking their statement about "no business case" for a coupe?   :dontknow:

Even the GM people have heard the rumor:

Maybe you've seen this, but here's what Motor Trend thinks it may look like:

It could simply be that their arrogance no longer allows them to ignore the forecasted 192,000 2005 Mustang sales!

With GM scrapping the only 2 true pony cars they had, they handed the whole market right over to the Mustang.

Tonight as I go to sleep, the words "Santa, please let DC make a very cool version of the Challenger and I will be good for the rest of the year"

And.... interstingly a 2004 story found here  http://motortrend.com/future/concepts/112_0401_fwish/  shows this rendition

described as a Hemi 'cuda....  I really wonder how long these plans have been in the works  :dontknow:

That yellow thing looks like a piece of crap, sorry but thats my opinion.  Too much going on.......
