Probably turn into another ghetto car just like the Magnum and Charger has. You will see them very soon with 22's and those stupid fender vents that are all over the place now.

never gonna happen and i'll tell ya why...because its a two door car and most guys in the hood need to cart around 4 or 5 guys everywhere they go...so many guys at the late night spot from the inner city race maximas and gs300s cause 4 door cars are supposedly so cool...so many guys will come up to me and compliment the stang but say how they wish it was 4 door (????)...anyway...i couldnt care less if that yahoo 50 cent starts puttin the challenger in every video with 30 inch rims...i'm gettin mine ,and keepin stock wheels with slightly bigger tires in the back just like my stang...



anyway...they list it as 30-32000 bucks with a v-8....i wonder what the mark up will bring it to

Yeah is the actual 08 Challenger going to look like the concept? I don't think so.

This is what the Charger concept looked like.


And this is what it ended up looking like.


Don't believe the hype of concepts. Just like the Camaro, i don't see it looking remotely close to the concept.

they didn't make the charger look like the original concept cause it was easier to just rebadge the chrysler 300's that were getting churned out as chargers.

Thats relatively cheap for what its supposed to be (425 hp).


Dodge.com/challenger says *Concept Vehicle Shown. So chances are, its not going to look like that. Haha
