    God, that's hot.


    I'm gonan say that this is incredibly tasteful, and dare I say-- way better looking than the factory thing and way better than the concept. It looks like it always should have. I love the return of the chrome.


    I love the taillight treatment, too. It breaks up the division lines that show up between the light chambers for each bulb.


    That car is class and it now has the proper motivation to move its 4,000+lb heft.

    I doubt it could keep up with a determined mid-life-crisis-Miata driver in the mountains.

    @RamblinReck89: The SMS 570 Challenger will be the first vehicle with a host of aesthetic and functional innovations including the patented SMS Red Butterfly Induction™ hood and a full compliment of SMS ultra-high performance components including: drivetrain, suspension, aerodynamics, tires, wheels and interior


    That's the entire extent of any mention of the suspension/tire upgrades. I'd venture a guess that it probably couldn't even keep up with a casual weekend Miata driver in the mountains.

    Its kinda porky, but hey I'm not complaining. 700 hp sounds good, but I would like to know if it has a shitload of turbo lag.

    @.357:Half Man-Half Amazing: Since it doesn't have a Turbo I'd say it doesn't have really bad turbo lag.


    And the US Automakers wonder what their problem is.

    You know, the issue with strapping roller skates and a rocket engine to a fat chick is that while, yes, it'll go fast as hell, getting her to corner or stop is gonna be messy.

    @A strolling player, now in British Racing Green!: You're in luck. I couldn't find anything that quite fit my mental image online, so I was going to photoshop something, and then I decided that's way too much effort and I should really be doing my schoolwork instead.


    Besides, I'm distracted because I think there are squirrels fucking on the branch right outside my window. Horny lil buggers.

    @Wankelin' For A Rotary: I'm pretty randomly hilarious in person, mostly thanks to my ADHD. You're especially in luck since I just ran out of Adderall! (I, however, am significantly less in luck because I still have piles of schoolwork to do.)


    Sadly, I did not make it to the meet, no thanks to aforementioned schoolwork. >:( I'm planning on going to the NYIAS either on Thursday or Sunday of next week, though, so if you or any other Jalops would like the privilege of basking in the glow of my super awesome wittiness (/self-promoting cynical bastard mode), you are more than welcome to meet us there! I guess the best way to get in touch would be via private message and/or Facebook, if any of you are actually interested.

    It's a good thing Saleen did this, because we all know Chrysler would never get Congressional approval for a 700hp muscle car.

    Dear god I want a Challenger.

    I think I saw one on a portable parking lot yesterday but I wasn't driving the car and my co-worker thought I was nuts and wouldn't turn around.

    Well, we were on the interstate, so that probably was sensible...

    What is it with Steve Saleen and messing with the tailights of cars?


    First he did with the Saleen Mustang, and now this. It was perfect the way it was, dammit!


    I'm not a big fan of the side-facing hood scoop thing, either.

    I have to disagree on both cars.


    To me, it has parallels to the whole Altezza tailight things. Just because you can, doesn't mean that it looks good, or that you should. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is be original and keep the original.
