Do you know this guy?

Don't laugh too hard. I found out about the presentation 5 minutes before.

Great job and looks like a cool package.The t-handle is nice but mine would need a clutch pedal and a Pistol Grip!  :2thumbs:

Now if I could only afford one right now.  :walkaway:

Five minutes?  It looks more like five seconds - they didn't even give you time to comb your hair!   :poopoke:   :smilielol:  (Kidding!  Just kidding!)

You know automatics have taken over when a manual trans is the more expensive option.

I like it! And like Torred said, I wish I had the money to spend. Might be able to gather up enough to add those seats to my car though.. I wonder if they would fit  :clueless:

For starters, I hope they fix the uneven hood gap at the front bumper - see the one pan-across part of the movie to see what I'm talking about.  Second, a "MOPAR TEN" should really come with, oh I dunno, TEN CYLINDERS.  (Frankly, that's what I expected to hear at some point during that video.)

I like the wheel emblems, but those wheels are so been-there-done-that.  I'm sure the classic enthusiasts will like it, but us young-bloods want to see something NEW!

Like, these....

Who Does Your Hair?    ;D

 :roflsmiley: :roflsmiley: :roflsmiley: My stylist would just utter these words: WTF
hahahhahaha. Seriously humid and bad hair. These design guys.... :biggrin:

I will see if there is a way to fit the new Challenger seats in the new Challenger.
I don't think the H-point will be REMOTELY close.

Glad you guys like to some degree. Mopar '10= Mopar 2010. really a 10.5 model.
There's MORE in store for the 11. (Save the good stuff) hang tight.
As soon as it is released, I'll fill ya in.

H-Point- (hip point to heel) is seen as a critical measurement to occupant comfort.
If the Hip point (center line) is too high, your legs hit the steering wheel, making it difficult to turn the wheel.

Make sense. So where the seat track bolts to the floor, to my rear, is a lot higher with the new seats?

Can't bring myself to comment on the hair, I'm pretty follically challenged. :bigsmile:

 :clueless:  from a dealer stand point why 10.5 ? this should have been released in january like all other mid year launches if its truly a 2010. Build out has gone and closed. Will these actually be the last 500 of the 2010 MY before change over or. Built after change over and then technically a 2011?? but called M10? looks like a cool package though. Hate to see what retail is. From what I seen close to SRT pricing, You looked good in the inter view Dan, No comment on the hair as you know i cant comment on that.

Me Like Big Time!!  Seriously, this is a good sign that Mopar may mean something again in the post-Nardeli Chrysler.  The only tweak I would make if I could would be a little cooler logo on the hood scoop, maybe something a little more "Old School" like "Hemi" badging, etc. The square emblem looks plain to me. 

Good points include the all black including black chrome grille (awesome), blacked out wheels (also awesome) and the stripe looks good (I'll take mine in red with a 6 speed please).  I like to get a closer look at the steering wheel, hope its sportier than the std one.  Also saw the blurb about Challenger sales being up 125% year over year.  That's great news, I need them to still be made in 1-2 years when I can afford to get one myself!
