I want!
As long as they get the weight way down below what the Charger and 300C weigh. |
yah, the originals were cool, kinda wanted one back when you could still get em for $2000
|
There are already stroker kits available to take the SRT8 6.1L up to 426ci.
426 Hemi Cuda / Challenger, brand new car, sweeeet! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...nkeedance2.gif |

Yeah, but the LX cars are over 4100 lbs. The Mustang GT is about 3500lb, the GT500 3900lb. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif
If they did 425hp and 3600lb, that would be pretty good these days. If the Camaro comes in at 3500lb or something, they would look like fools with the Challenger at 4000lb plus. Considering how much weight there is in multiple airbags and other bolt in stuff, it would be pretty cool if designers of performance cars would make it easy to strip the interior and other heavy stuff in an hour. Pull everything out Friday night, track day Saturday or Sunday, put everything back in Sunday night. |
Next Evo looks pretty cool too.

I saw them both in person again today, the Challenger looks nicer as a package I think, but the Camaro is smaller and would look just as good if they re-did the nose.
Exige S and Elise still looked better, but cost way more and wouldn't work too well in my budget. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif |

I'm still having a hard time adjusting my mind that 3000lbs is a light car. My Jetta weighs in at 2600 w/ 3/4 of a tank of gas, and I still feel like it is a pig. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.gif

That's cause Volkswagen thinks they did you a special favour if they gave you a motor with more than 100hp.
|
It'd be a lot better if it didn't have power windows (x4), power seats and AC. Those 3 items would shave off a significant amount of weight. The AC will be going away once I get around to rebuilding the motor.
|
I like the new camaro, but the problem w/it is it's going to be like the 05 mustang. When it comes out everyone is gona go "oohhh ahhh" then after the first year there's going to be one on every corner and you will get tired of seeing them.
I'll stick to my 68' |
If they stick to making them in limited numbers, then it would be a little bit better. I won't get worn out seeing them all over the place. That's if they even put it out.
|
The Camaro and Challenger are a go, they are building machinery for the factories now.
|
I also went to that show Tyson...I was actually surprised at how big the Exige was...I was picturing something so much smaller :-/
|
Well, deffy what's the craic! That's a bit strange that you said that, those things are small even by our standards.
