The quad headlights as used in 1971 were more attactive in my opinion.

Are they going to call it "SRT' Barracuda rather than "Dodge" Barracuda? Kinda like what they did with the Ram moniker? That would make more sense. Last rendering in the lime green looks ok IMO. I still would never buy a Chrysler product.

Lol mod should merge the threads... But I think its a great idea. BUT that picture looks identical to the Challenger? Make its body lines different. No point in making the same looking car just minus the headlights. The concepts shown were but ugly though

Maybe they should make a convertible Challenger first, then maybe lighten the LX platform. The renderings are ugly.

Yep. SRT is supposed to take over the SRT8 300C and SRT8 GC.

I think dodge/chrysler/srt should work on their current charger and challenger to make them compete with their competition, instead of creating a bunch of mediocre cars with names from the past.

Theyre slowly digging their grave if they make another muscle car that comes out in 3rd place behind the mustang and camaro.

Well there latest creation to compete with ZR1 and GT500 is the SRT viper. That thing looks sweet. Cant wait for UGR or Hennessey to twin turbo charge the **** out of it. By that time the cuda wont matter. Plus Hemi's are no more since the new hemis arent really hemi's. Im an all out GM man and have some history in the family with mopar. Chrysler isnt living up to Ford & GM.

The GT500 isn't even in the same ballpark as a ZR1, and probably not the Viper either. As for the "Cuda", stupid. They have two good cars now with the Charger and Challenger, they just need to make them competitive.
