Why the Challenger may be stick-shift only - It now looks as though the Dodge Challenger is a “go” for 2007-08, albeit with a stick-shift / Hemi V8 only. Here is why the car will be so limited. First, it’s a limited production vehicle, and there aren’t many to be made; that means each version will have fewer copies to spread around engineering [...] [allpar.com]

Some Nice Pics, big enough for wall paper.
Ever since we ran the first spy shots of the Dodge Challenger on these pages ("Rising to the Challenger," Nov. 28, 2005), we've heard the steady beating of the enthusiast drums urging Chrysler to build this beast. Though technical hurdles might hurt its production chances (a B-pillar-less coupe would require costly roof reinforcement, for instance), Chrysler design chief Trevor Creed didn't toss any cold water on the faithful when he said, "The Challenger is back-ahem-as a concept vehicle." But it's a concept so close to production quality in its near-perfect reproduction of the iconic 1970 Challenger that we can almost smell the production-car rubber burning. Built on a shortened version of the 300C chassis and equipped with a 6.1-liter, 425-hp, 420-lb-ft Hemi V8 and a six-speed manual, Challenger looks like it could be built tomorrow.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - With an appearance that draws heavily from the classic muscle cars of the late 1960s and early '70s, the Dodge Challenger, premiering in concept car form at next week's Detroit Auto Show, should satisfy those who thought the 4-door Dodge Charger just didn't have the right stuff.

This time around, the number of doors stays true to the original spirit. Just two.

"The people who were complaining about the Charger, if they complain about the Challenger there's something wrong with them," said David Zatz who runs the Web site Allpar.com, a site about Chrysler Group products.

The Challenger project was first started in about 1965 as Dodge's answer to the pony car. Carl Cameron refined the car for some time, and, by 1968, they were building 1970 Challenger prototypes. Finally, in the fall of 1969, Dodge finally introduced their E body (Plymouth’s was the newly enlarged Barracuda, which had been a compact A-body). With a choice of nine engines, from a slant-six Coupe (and, starting in February, a Deputy) to an R/T Hemi, and eighteen colors, the Challenger offered a lot of choice.

The E-body tag reflected current Chrysler Corp. body styles: the compacts were As, mid-size to large were B, and C and D were reserved for oversized Chrysler models. The E was built off a shortened B platform.
