New Challenger confirmed for 2008, but concept car is too big

Chrysler Group Says Dodge Challenger Is a Go


Source: DaimlerChrysler


July 01, 2006

Auburn Hills, Mich., Jul 1, 2006 - Chrysler Group President and CEO Tom LaSorda today announced that Dodge Challenger will return to production after a nearly 35-year hiatus. The all-new Dodge Challenger will debut as a 2008 model in calendar-year 2008.

The announcement was made shortly before the Pepsi 400 NASCAR race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. Driving out with the Dodge Challenger was Chrysler Group Chief Operating Officer Eric Ridenour.

"We haven't seen this kind of spontaneous, passionate response to a car since we unveiled the Dodge Viper concept in 1989," said LaSorda.




------

The original 1970-74 Dodge Challenger was a pony car, not a (bigger) muscle car. Pony cars competed in the Trans-Am (road racing) series while muscle cars didn't.

While only a concept now, the new Challenger is almost one foot longer than the new Chevrolet Camaro concept.

Camaro:

110.5" Wheelbase
186.2" Length

Challenger:

116.0" Wheelbase
197.8" Length


The new Dodge Challenger concept is 4.7 inches wider and 10.2 inches longer than the 2006 Ford Mustang.

Must be the new math because I calculate only 5.5 inches which is less than the length of my hand and not even half the way to a foot.
