ejc6Feb 28, 2013 @Greg totally with u on that one and chevy would have to because they only have the camaro as a pony car they would have to bring chevelle or nova and ford would proly bring torino back but I'm sure it would never happen maybe slight chance
Greg LewisFeb 21, 2012 I wouldnt mind the cars interior being similar and same underpinnings if it meant more choices for us!
Greg LewisFeb 21, 2012 I would love to see a SRT cuda, but don't drop the challenger. We know the 70's and how companies just rebadged and changed a fender or two? Like the lesabre/delta 88/caprice/perresiane (I know spelling,lol) maybe Chevy would follow and revive others
Stephen IshardFeb 21, 2012 is it just me or do you read ceasers comments in borats voice?
Patrick SchalkFeb 20, 2012 That freakin sucks. I almost want a 71 split bumper more than a 69 Z28. And that's sayin somethin. I really wish I could've experienced those days.
Andy LopezFeb 20, 2012 @ Patrick, I know what you mean about your dad. My dad had a 71 Camaro z28 and regrets ever getting rid of it too.
Clint EdwardsFeb 20, 2012 I think Impalas are pretty underrated too. Hell there was one on Craigslist earlier this week, had the original 350, body was in good shape. Sold it for 5 grand
Antonio FalsettiFeb 20, 2012 I love them both. Why can't we have both?
Patrick SchalkFeb 20, 2012 I always thought they were very underrated styling wise. I though they were like a little brother to the Chevelle but still way awesome. I've found tons of em on autotraderclassic.com. I really wanna build one
Tim PreisingerFeb 20, 2012 I will die before I end up selling mine
Erik RudolphFeb 20, 2012 @patrick my dad also had a 1971 nova ss and he also wish he didn't sell it
Patrick SchalkFeb 20, 2012 I'd be pissed. My dad had a 71 Nova SS and he always tells me he wishes he could have that back. I'd like to get him another one some day.
Josh ?hompsonFeb 20, 2012 I used to have a '62 nova dragster but my aunt and uncle sold it out from under me. That's why I don't talk to them anymore
Tim PreisingerFeb 20, 2012 Anytime. They are great cars. Lots of fun to drive and they make great race cars if your into that sort of thing. Good luck! Be picky and you will come across a good deal sooner or later
Dustin LabitFeb 20, 2012 Cheaper than I expected. Ibwas thinking around 8-10k. Happiness is closer than I thought. Thanks for the info.
Tim PreisingerFeb 20, 2012 Well, depends on condition, year and what's in it of course. You cam still get some pretty good deals though. I have seen a few '71 and '72 for sale in decent shape with a running 350 motor for 6k.
Dustin LabitFeb 20, 2012 How much do one of those novas run for? I've been looking at those recently.
Tim PreisingerFeb 20, 2012 My friends Nova has a 383 and on cam2 is making 1700hp. Hell, even my Nova which also has a 383 is making a little under 600hp on pump gas. You can't compare a stock motor from 1970 with a 200,000$+ modern day super car
Patrick SchalkFeb 19, 2012 But that is only if you can drive a real manual. No finger flickers and crap.
Patrick SchalkFeb 19, 2012 The only Europeans that like torque like we do is the Germans and our friends at Mercedes Benz. The others don't understand. You European dudes can come drive my car and see what its like and why we like it.
Dustin LabitFeb 19, 2012 Not to mention we live huge engines.
Mikey JimenezFeb 19, 2012 Us americans love the our low end torque! @Clint and they last very long those engines are bullet proof!
Nick SteigerFeb 19, 2012 I agree 100% Dillon, it's all about outright power and the sound.
Dillon DixonFeb 19, 2012 It's all about when that HP is available. Us Americans want the power and torque to be there instantly and through the whole RPM range. It's all in the history and heritage. Two different styles, each has it's ups and downs. To each there own.
Clint EdwardsFeb 19, 2012 Also, look WHEN the engines your comparing were made. A 1970 454 isn't directly comparable to a $200,000 brand new Ferrari.
Yogi SvendFeb 19, 2012 Some cars should seriously say ''build for the American's,,
Clint EdwardsFeb 19, 2012 That's stock buddy. Twin turbo 572s will run 2000hp all day long. Also, look at the price. 500 American horsepower is about twice as cheap as Italian horsepower. And don't try to tell me it's twice as good, it just isn't.
Emmanuel IrizarryFeb 19, 2012 Yeah but remember the Italian car has everything 'aftermarket' (the best of the best) in it like the intake exhaust ect ect...
Mark RidenourFeb 19, 2012 What irritates me about US cars is they have massive cylinders but relatively low HP. Exaggerated example....7.2L = 450 hp (USA) - 3.2L 500 hp (Italian) not real numbers, but u get my meaning.
Jimmy WilliamsFeb 19, 2012 @Patrick the original Cuda was several inches shorter than the original Challenger, so it would make a little sense to rename if downsizing a bit. Plus, way more design opportunities because of the body lines for future generations.
Dustin LabitFeb 19, 2012 And bringing the 440 back would be awesome!
Dustin LabitFeb 19, 2012 The chally didn't sell because it was the slowest of the big three. I love them, but dodge, I mean srt, needs to step up.
Henz HerreroFeb 19, 2012 I disagree.. I think the chevelle is the best looking muscle, but this looks great.. The chally didnt really sell anything so maybe this is a good move
Jim morrisonFeb 22, 2012 I've got the srt 8 oraaange and black of this its a beast and I wouldn't trade it in for any car in the same class
Greg LewisFeb 21, 2012 And as far as prowler goes...SRT Prowler sounds acceptable to me!
Greg LewisFeb 21, 2012 The 6 is really quite impressive. Yeah I'm not going to win against a mustang or camaro, but it's more comfortable to ride in and still has 305hp! Plus it is a head turner. Only complaint is the lack of a 6 speed...
Luke DavisFeb 20, 2012 Gta say I love the look of American cars n love how they perform quarter mile alot more fun to watch than European but they are alot of flaws wit most models
Mikey JimenezFeb 20, 2012 Bob is either bored and wants to
Start a big argument or is just plain out dumb?
Patrick SchalkFeb 19, 2012 And a hardtop. I always though the Prowler should've had a hardtop.
Kevin RehbockFeb 19, 2012 And a proper transmission.
Clint EdwardsFeb 19, 2012 @Brian yeah, everybody is running around waving their arms whining about the weight, I've drove my buddy's and it felt fine. The only time I really felt any plowing was taking a corner way faster than any reasonable person would in a full-size car
Rami WilsonFeb 19, 2012 I'd rather see a 2-door version of the new Charger with a retro grill. They never shoulda killed Plymouth. SRT needs to worry more about super charging the 6.4 than designing a new 'cuda. If they are gonna do it do it right.
Patrick SchalkFeb 19, 2012 Yeah there's only a few car that can pull off any color and this is one of them.
Clint EdwardsFeb 19, 2012 I don't think there's a color it doesn't look good in

Andy LopezFeb 19, 2012 I wonder how much of a handling improvement the Boss 302 will have with IRS if it already beats the current M3 around Laguna Seca.
Vince DeMasiFeb 19, 2012 Nice that means gm is finally cutting weight on the camaro

Patrick SchalkFeb 19, 2012 Agree Kevin. The SRT10 concept was meant for the Gods and it is sexy as hell. I don't understand why they won't build one.
Erik RudolphFeb 19, 2012 It is a shame they are going to get rid of this car again when they just put a new motor in it just last year
Kevin RehbockFeb 19, 2012 Put the new Viper's power plant in the Challenger as a limited production run so they can send it out with a bang.
Dustin LabitFeb 19, 2012 I think for the chally's last run it'll get the supercharger. Man, if they could out this engine in a car that weighed 3000 pounds and they'd have a winner.
Zach PaizFeb 19, 2012 Just hope it doesnt weigh 5 tons like the challenger......
Teddy MacDonellFeb 19, 2012 what ever happened to the idea that all SRT8's would get an eaton supercharger soon? will this change anything?
Clint EdwardsFeb 19, 2012 They just brought out the 392, it'd be stupid not to put it in
Kent SullivanFeb 19, 2012 Dustin I wouldn't worry about that, Dodge won't let Chevy and ford win the HP wars without a fight
Dustin LabitFeb 19, 2012 Great. They're making it smaller, now let's hope they don't use a less powerful engine.
Sean WilliamsFeb 19, 2012 The LY platform is only used in the challenger. The 300 and charger both use the LX platform. Simple mistake :)
Greg LewisFeb 21, 2012 There is a nice tail light over lay that goes over the dodge logo, like a black rectangle. Separates the lights, give it a much better look. And the charger lights look closer to the older ones. Challengers in the 70's wasnt the same. Both look good
Stephen IshardFeb 21, 2012 viper owns the the 'Ring doesnt it for production cars. and didnt the 302 beat the M5(M3 idk) around the laguna. people buy german because it makes them look richer and more important half of the people i know that drive european cant even afford what they are driving.
Tim PreisingerFeb 20, 2012 Oh Cesar... You never fail to bring a smile to my face. I can't help but laugh every time I read one of your posts. Not only are you a troll and a total joke here, but you continue to make all European car fans look bad. Keep posting buddy!
Clint EdwardsFeb 20, 2012 Do a search of Nurburgring lap times
Clint EdwardsFeb 20, 2012 Cesar. 1, your english is absolutely horrendous. 2, the racetrack proves just the opposite
Devin BabynFeb 20, 2012 And him him not knowing anything at all mechanically about a car just makes it even better
Devin BabynFeb 20, 2012 I don't really believe anything he says. I just think of him and the other two as comedians that like to drive. To me he's the Dane Cook of the auto world. A complete idiot but man he makes me laugh
Patrick SchalkFeb 20, 2012 Kind of automotive Adolf Hitler and all of his little minions take every word of his seriously. They believe his opinion like he is the car god when he doesn't even know the difference between a supercharger and a turbo.
Patrick SchalkFeb 20, 2012 It's ok. I can't understand him anyways. Most Europeans live under a rock and still think we make our cars like we did in the 80s and 90s. It's quite funny. Doesn't help that we have a fat geriatric Brit telling them how bad our cars are like some
Mikey JimenezFeb 20, 2012 And just to throw it in there these cars have soul baby! All these new Ferrari's and lamborghini's must of forgot it because they were to worried about all the computers.
Mikey JimenezFeb 20, 2012 @Americans and europeans, can we just agree to disagree ? @Cesar stop being a troll! we leave your Farrtari lambowienies articles alone so we expect the same! Leave the 6speed manuals bigblocks articles to the big boys! Go enjoy your fingerflickers!
Skyler WhiteFeb 20, 2012 Look, Caesar, buddy. NEITHER American NOR European modern performance cars are better - they're just different. That's why people ALWAYS argue - they're both better in their own way! And by the way, I'd let Patrick speak for himself if I were you.
Patrick SchalkFeb 19, 2012 Hahahaha Addis takes pictures of himself in front of the mirror like a middle school girl. I wouldn't take what he has to say to heart. And Cesar can't even speak English so don't mind him either.
Clint EdwardsFeb 19, 2012 Wow, such an intelligent and fact-based comment. He obviously must be an expert in automotive design
Michael DavidsonFeb 19, 2012 @Addis and what cars of yours are way better than all American cars???
Clint EdwardsFeb 19, 2012 @Elijah this basically is, a 2 door Charger
Elijah McCordFeb 19, 2012 Of they made a 2 door charger it would be way better than this hands down
jdoesFeb 20, 2012 As ceaser trolls around in his cockmobile typing dumb shit wishing he was from America. Idiot. Everyone knows the car is classic. Your comments were pathetic, I took the low road with my insults, but it was well worth it.
Edgar JaureguiFeb 20, 2012 I wish they didn't kill the chally and simply added the cuda as another stablemate (: but if they build the new cuda like this original (smaller than the challenger that's for sure) and keep it lightweight + the 6.4l hemi+ optional supercharger kit, watch out gt500 and zl1 :D I'm not saying it would blow them out of the water but the competition would be intense x)
Patrick SchalkFeb 20, 2012 Haha Cesar what in the hell are you saying? You Deustchbags have a funny way of saying things and insulting people.
Clint EdwardsFeb 20, 2012 I can't even understand what you're saying. And I guarantee this is cooler than anything you drive
Clint EdwardsFeb 20, 2012 Yeah, you just proved my point. I'm really not sure if you're just trolling or genuinely mentally impaired
Clint EdwardsFeb 20, 2012 I've been fortunate enough to drive a 69 Chevelle with a 496 stroker, one of the best experiences of my life. And I'm sorry, nothing else will give you the same feeling. The hair on your arms will stand up.
Clint EdwardsFeb 20, 2012 @Mikey leave cezar on his high horse, it's useless to try and reason with people like him. Nothing's good enough, except for the pile they drive which is excellent in every way.
Tyler OhlheiserFeb 20, 2012 I think it be awesome if they model it after the '71 hemi 'cuda
Michael GallagherFeb 20, 2012 There she is. A true beauty. This is what cars were all about. Just engine, tires, radio and a stick to shift with. These are real cars. Not the computers we all drive now-a-days.
Mikey JimenezFeb 20, 2012 *know what you...it's late -__-
Mikey JimenezFeb 20, 2012 @Cesar I don't know what ordinary person that could afford that? Do you realize how much things are worth? You know never mind you big head, know it all eurotards will never understand! You my friend are a PAN off topz!
Patrick SchalkFeb 20, 2012 This thing is timeless. Just amazing. Europeans will never understand.
Mikey JimenezFeb 20, 2012 Europeans will and vise versa , it's the soul that's in these, each have there own feel and those sexy curves so sleek and refined ! Did I forget the raw power these thing had?
Tim PreisingerFeb 20, 2012 Those "muscle cars" are some of the greatest most enjoyable cars ever made. There isn't anything not to like about them.
Those Europeans, I guess they are getting tired of watching cars half there price blow by them. They need to get over it.
Vito PortanovaFeb 20, 2012 Americans always living in the past with there " muscle cars" get over it.
Mikey JimenezFeb 19, 2012 Is that green envy I see, this thing must cost a fortune!
rockstarTcFeb 19, 2012 Im a huge import guy but I love this car, especially with the 440 six pack!! This would be an amazing car to bring back
Adenis AK RuciFeb 19, 2012 This is why I love the ol'American machines
Dan KellyFeb 19, 2012 @nick oooohhhh man that would be sweet to see a new chevelle
Kristoffer LopezFeb 19, 2012 Favorite muscle car of all time. <3
Justin RouthFeb 19, 2012 @nick that would be the greatest day ever if they brought back this and the chevelle
Dillon DixonFeb 19, 2012 I will own an early 70's chally or cuda sometime in my life. These things are just monsters!
Nick SteigerFeb 19, 2012 Nothin like American Muscle, next chevy should bring back the Chevelle
Clint EdwardsFeb 19, 2012 This and the Chally, my 2 favorite muscles
Michael EvansFeb 19, 2012 Yall seen stkyer badge image a cuda sweet
@Greg totally with u on that one and chevy would have to because they only have the camaro as a pony car they would have to bring chevelle or nova and ford would proly bring torino back but I'm sure it would never happen maybe slight chance
I wouldnt mind the cars interior being similar and same underpinnings if it meant more choices for us!
I would love to see a SRT cuda, but don't drop the challenger. We know the 70's and how companies just rebadged and changed a fender or two? Like the lesabre/delta 88/caprice/perresiane (I know spelling,lol) maybe Chevy would follow and revive others
is it just me or do you read ceasers comments in borats voice?
That freakin sucks. I almost want a 71 split bumper more than a 69 Z28. And that's sayin somethin. I really wish I could've experienced those days.

@patrick my dad also had a 1971 nova ss and he also wish he didn't sell it
I'd be pissed. My dad had a 71 Nova SS and he always tells me he wishes he could have that back. I'd like to get him another one some day.
Good reason to cut ties.
I used to have a '62 nova dragster but my aunt and uncle sold it out from under me. That's why I don't talk to them anymore
Anytime. They are great cars. Lots of fun to drive and they make great race cars if your into that sort of thing. Good luck! Be picky and you will come across a good deal sooner or later
Cheaper than I expected. Ibwas thinking around 8-10k. Happiness is closer than I thought. Thanks for the info.
Well, depends on condition, year and what's in it of course. You cam still get some pretty good deals though. I have seen a few '71 and '72 for sale in decent shape with a running 350 motor for 6k.
How much do one of those novas run for? I've been looking at those recently.
My friends Nova has a 383 and on cam2 is making 1700hp. Hell, even my Nova which also has a 383 is making a little under 600hp on pump gas. You can't compare a stock motor from 1970 with a 200,000$+ modern day super car
But that is only if you can drive a real manual. No finger flickers and crap.
The only Europeans that like torque like we do is the Germans and our friends at Mercedes Benz. The others don't understand. You European dudes can come drive my car and see what its like and why we like it.
Not to mention we live huge engines.
Us americans love the our low end torque! @Clint and they last very long those engines are bullet proof!
I agree 100% Dillon, it's all about outright power and the sound.
It's all about when that HP is available. Us Americans want the power and torque to be there instantly and through the whole RPM range. It's all in the history and heritage. Two different styles, each has it's ups and downs. To each there own.
Also, look WHEN the engines your comparing were made. A 1970 454 isn't directly comparable to a $200,000 brand new Ferrari.
Some cars should seriously say ''build for the American's,,
That's stock buddy. Twin turbo 572s will run 2000hp all day long. Also, look at the price. 500 American horsepower is about twice as cheap as Italian horsepower. And don't try to tell me it's twice as good, it just isn't.
Yeah but remember the Italian car has everything 'aftermarket' (the best of the best) in it like the intake exhaust ect ect...
What irritates me about US cars is they have massive cylinders but relatively low HP. Exaggerated example....7.2L = 450 hp (USA) - 3.2L 500 hp (Italian) not real numbers, but u get my meaning.
@Patrick the original Cuda was several inches shorter than the original Challenger, so it would make a little sense to rename if downsizing a bit. Plus, way more design opportunities because of the body lines for future generations.
And bringing the 440 back would be awesome!
The chally didn't sell because it was the slowest of the big three. I love them, but dodge, I mean srt, needs to step up.
I disagree.. I think the chevelle is the best looking muscle, but this looks great.. The chally didnt really sell anything so maybe this is a good move
Best news I've heard all week
I've been hoping for this for a long time
There's a company that does Chally/Cuda conversion kits, if this looks similar I'll have nothing negative to say
So then what's gonna replace the Cuda? The ROAD RUNNER?!?! please.
Now if they'd just bring back the Superbird...
I heard the new cuda is going to be a hybrid van.
Man that got a lot of platforms from that super car company and fiat this might work
I really like the challenger... Hope they don't screw this up..
I just hope dodge doesn't have it weight 8 million pounds
They best just have it badged as the 'cuda, that's the muscle car era o plymouths barracuda
SRT Barracuda that sounds better than Dodge
i believe it would be 'srt' not dodge
