The Charger really captures the old school look.
As well as the Camaro.
Can't wait to see see these rolling around.

IMO if the production Camaro looks anything like the prototype then Chevy will have failed miserably. I think it's too overdone.

Pictures of the production Camaro are already out.
As for the challenger. It does look awesome. Per the "first drive" article AND the design engineers, it's a heavy, slightly shortened Charger SRT-8. I think it tips the scales at almost 4200 lbs and has pretty much the identical drivetrain for the same, if not more, money.
In their own words, side impact standards have killed them as far as weight goes. IIRC, the OG challenger was a "small" "light" car with a big motor in it.
Not this bad boy.
Now, a RWD, 6.1 Hemi'd Avenger might do the trick....
