I don't know mate but if the price was right I'd be there with money in hand.  ;)

I like it. Needs PLENTY of options, sunroofs some colors (other than the European favorite, silver) brighter stand out colors like the MoPars of old, good engine range, a sports/track model if this is not already LOL!  :laughing: I like the look and it's good to see they are going back to the styling of old, the "Coke Bottler shape" is there for all to see in this car, long hood high back with a shortened rear end.

You forgot to put this option in you poll: "I bloody hope so!!!!!!!!"

Looks really similar to an Aston Martin Vanquish.

Dunno exactly but read somewhere the firepower would be a 600hp car, still based on a new Hemi.. but a bit spiced-up. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I would remember. Won't bet on my head though  :grinno: :grinno:

gee the chrysler z06 killer   base it at 69,999 5 less than the z06 and put a blown/turbo 6.1 liter in it   around  600hp  :drool: :drool: the viper needs more power, a vette thats .2 faster than a viper  :puke: fix it.

Id guess they produce something along the lines. just maybe not this.   :thumbs: Id drive it.

Where is the car for the rest of us?? Performance minded, joe lunch box types.

They (DC) are not hitting the mark, not even close. Just give us a muscle car/pony car and stick a new Hemi in it.

Is that so hard to figure out!!!!   :???:  :mad: :mad: :stomp: :stomp: :gripe: :gripe:

Will NEVER be built, just more corporate money wasted ! I heard (I think from the LA car show on speed) that even if it was built that it would cost close to 1 mil., better get your deposit and order down to the dealer............what a joke! D/C better get their collective heads out of their arse holes.  :bs:  :bs:  :burn:

The Viper got lucky with the Crossfire and 9 months later look what poped out!   :dogpile:  I kinda like it (not silver though) but even if they do make it I heard it will be on the Viper chassis and would be another rich mans toy and nothing us working stiffs could afford.

The dark grey one reminds me of the Maserati. Are they not able to create new ideas?

to me this car looks like thye just cut a viper and a crossfire in half and mated the front of the viper to the back of the crossfire and put in a hemi and souped it up and wa,la look what thye got. no new ideas DC? no retro stuff to kick ass on the poopystang DC?
DC needs to pull their heads out and get with the program and make a workin mans play toy with some cool styling and a nasty motor. everything that they keep commin up with looks like everything else that they already make. hmmm stratus, 300, Charger (joke)
GET WITH THE FRIGGIN PROGRAM AND LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE DC AND WUIT TRYING TO MAKE MORE MERCDES AND STICKING THE CHRYSLER NAMES ON THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok sorry i got a little carried away there but that is just how i feel about DC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :boxer: :boxer: :boxer: :boxer: :boxer: :boxer: :boxer: :boxer: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:
