Some Nice Pics, big enough for wall paper.
Ever since we ran the first spy shots of the Dodge Challenger on these pages ("Rising to the Challenger," Nov. 28, 2005), we've heard the steady beating of the enthusiast drums urging Chrysler to build this beast. Though technical hurdles might hurt its production chances (a B-pillar-less coupe would require costly roof reinforcement, for instance), Chrysler design chief Trevor Creed didn't toss any cold water on the faithful when he said, "The Challenger is back-ahem-as a concept vehicle." But it's a concept so close to production quality in its near-perfect reproduction of the iconic 1970 Challenger that we can almost smell the production-car rubber burning. Built on a shortened version of the 300C chassis and equipped with a 6.1-liter, 425-hp, 420-lb-ft Hemi V8 and a six-speed manual, Challenger looks like it could be built tomorrow.
