    Do mind that he won't be able to call it a Ferrari or a Pininfarina or maybe even a P4/5 and can't use the name NART unless he get people to let him use the name.

    And there's like only one major racing organization that'll allow this car to run at a race...

    I think it's great.

    Unlike the latest attempts at recreating the Trans Am, this actually doesn't look like a satirical caricature of the original.

    I also like what they did with the interior; a little bit of color contrast goes a long way towards making an otherwise painfully bland interior a more interesting place to be. They can keep that shift knob, though.

    This could have been executed a little better, but I'm glad someone had some fun with it. These images look fake for some reason, and the seats are also different in pics #1 and #9. I guess some of you have seen it in person, though. #dodgechallenger

    I was around when the original was produced. Back in the days when NASCAR actually raced real cars. Like Pessimippopotamus, I wanted to not like this version but I do. Too bad Chrysler doesn't have the cajones to produce a car like this. #dodgechallenger

    I had an opportunity to buy an original about 24 years ago - just $3500. The guy had died and his wife just wanted the car gone.

    I had $3500, but I also had out-of-state tuition. I've been kicking myself for 24 years. #dodgechallenger

    Here's a flash: The government is not going to take away all your vehicles and force you to drive these.

    I can't believe the haterade here. It's just fun---these cars were always for specialized tastes and you don't have to buy it, go near it, or even look at it. They are just playing with the styling to see what happens with the old Daytona get up.
    We should be glad that someone is making amusing big boys instead of tweaking wee jellybeans. #dodgechallenger

    Both very true. And sadly I'm not going to anything new.

    Some folks need to revisit their history books.

    That's a 'Bird nose. And they obviously didn't read the reason for the scoops over the front wheels were for tire clearance.

    Fail. Nice try, but fail. #dodgechallenger
