I want!
As long as they get the weight way down below what the Charger and 300C weigh.
It'll be a fat pig. Hell, a 4-door econobox these days weighs 3500 lbs. Nobody builds a light car--except Lotus.

Yeah, but the LX cars are over 4100 lbs. The Mustang GT is about 3500lb, the GT500 3900lb. 
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.

3500lbs would be ok, nice if it was lgihter, but an original hemi cuda's gotta be at least 3500lbs 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.
