I'm pretty sure it was at Carlisle a couple years ago as well. I remember drooling all over it.

Problem is that with the 35 mpg law being signed, How many of the muscle type cars will even exist??  :walkaway:
I believe the 35 MPG is an average MPG across the entire car line offered for that year. For every muscle car type built an economy model must be offered to average things out.

I wonder what kind of mileage the 09 Challenger with the v6 will get.  I hope it is good.
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

In black, it kinda looks like the Interceptor in the old Wraith movie with Charlie Sheene.

I would bet anything it would never be built. If you want one you it is probably faster to buy a car company and buil it yourself.

Chrysler still comes up with the coolest vehicles (Forget the new Charger). I just wish they would follow through on the real exotics they come up with. And if they do follow up, they shouldn't tone them down.

Got that part right, you might have to build it yourself.  ;)

Sorry, not to hijack...

Factory Five Racing in Massachusetts, they started out making Mustang based Shelby Cobra kits, now a Corvette based "super car".  Priced right if you have the $$$.  Supposedly performs better than a Vette and looks unique.  They have open houses every Father's Day or there abouts and you get to check out all the cool cars, free barbeque.  A very nice company, IMO.
