I saw they had the new GT500 at least for the ARCA race, looked cool to see all these new cars making public appearences finally.

I must be the only person in the world that does not like this car at all. Before I spend $30k+ on something like this I would buy an real '69 big block and have the value remain the same. I hate the *** end, trunk, big front nose and short side windows. I do like the motor so all is not lost. I can't believe that the Challenger is more appealing to me. I must be getting old.

I didn't like it either at first, but I admit it's growing on me. I have toyed with the idea of finding a 69 doner car, dropping all my go-fast stuff into it & returning my TA to stock & letting the wife drive it. (& selling her Charger) Or buying one of these for the same price as a 69....

i dont disslike the look of the car, but its not the greatest to me, i would have to say i also like the look of the challenger more. My cousins husband ordered an rs/ss 6spd, i want to race him when he gets it (hehehe). ONE thing I really dont like is the weight of the car...who cares if it has more power, it weighs 2 tons.

You're not the only one, I don't care for it either.

I'd like to see it next to a '69. From what I see, the new one is going to finish second in that contest. It looks thick from low to high, and heavy -like the Challenger.
