I like the Bee as much as any Mopar owner but he represents the Scat Pak already. Yes he is on peoples cars and windows but he isn't the Challenger specific, as per our goal. Why not use the "M" from Mopar as that is the same thing, like the Scat Pack Bee it represents more than just a Challenger. The Charger, Runner, Bee.....hopefully someone clicks on to my point. He is awesome, no doubt, but like his saying: "The cars with the bumblebee stripes" not "The Challengers with stripes" or what-not....he's not ours to take. lol

NZ, I'm with you on this and do click on your point. If you take notice I tried to make the same point a little earlier.  :bigsmile:

I think olds makes a great point on the elegance/power point. Thats what I was trying to find with the Aeon Flux image. She is beautiful, but don't cross her. I think we could try to use guragas's thunder bolts and maybe a version of the scat bee. Maybe since they consider the hemi the elephant of engines, we could use an elephant in a scat bee
like wheels setup.

I personally like the Bee or the Moose so far.

My vision for the new Chally is a little different I guess:
I envision a car that will be built in several levels of elegance and performance.  From base options and mucho power to fully optioned mucho power.  Lesser powerplants will also be available for those models.  That said, two terms come to mind--- "elegant" & "lethal".  So with those two words in mind, I kind of try and think of something that is elegant AND lethal.  Maybe something like a Cheetah or Leopard.  Lull you to sleep with elegance then bust your butt when you hit the go pedal.  Maybe a hopped up big cat with the Bee's wheels?  I don't know, just thinking out loud here.........     :1zhelp:      Ok---bring it on----     :villagers:     :bricks1:                  :cooldancing:   
Old's Cool you are brilliant.I think your smarter than me. :poopoke: Maybe the cheetah burning out. The Cheetah is the fastest cat. :ylsuper:With NZ's thunderbolts. I don't agree with the elephant it represents all Hemis.Not that Hemis aren't cool. I thought NZ wanted to get away from something general?

Hey Hey, I'm liking the Cheetah. We may not even need a car, but sitting the way he is he definately looks cool.

Just throwing this out there... our cars are, unfortunately, confused by many with those of GM and Ferd. Do we really want to use a member of the feline family when the GTO is already recognized by the usage of a Tiger?

Anyways, didn't dodge racing (as well as the Challenger SE) use this symbol? And didn't they develop that into a patch for Dodge jackets, which could be incorporated a la the Bee tailstripe? It also evokes the modern-day crosshair motif without being too obvious...

Yep, thats called the fratzog.  All Dodge vehicles for a long time.  I think we're trying to be challenger specific...

No, I think that what we have here is an excellent start. Pratically every species of animal can be tied back to a given model of car. When they decided to use the Road Runner, did they say "Wait a minute, do we want to use a bird when there is already a Thunderbird" - Obviously not. At least if someone did say that someone threw a shoe at them or something. The Cheetah represents what we were going for here in so many ways - It is PUUURRRRRRRFECT.
