You know, I hope the Challenger is here to stay. Sure, the "limited production model" may be priced a little high for the average consumer, but who knows what other engines will be dropped under the hood of those tanks. There has been some rumors of Chrysler doing away with HEMI power. I'm not interested in one at all, but when the Camaro comes out, I'd like some variety on the streets for me to leave in the dust. Beating the crap out of Mustangs and Chargers will get old after a while. Sure, the imports will be out in abundance, but I'm talkin' about the good 'ol American muscle car races. A little healthy competition is good. In fact, I hope more cars come back. Maybe not so 'retro', but I'd like to see the old nameplates around again. If Ford were to affiliate with De Tomaso and do a re-make of the Pantera, the Chevelle comes back, the Charger lost two of its doors, 'Cuda, a GTO that looked less... well, you know. (no offense to all GTO owners, I do like them a little). So far all of these companies are all on the right track. If they keep going this way, we'll be back on the road with all the fun cars. Maybe even bring back the Grand National and a REAL Cougar, instead of whatever Ford did with those last two generations. I would love it if they were all successful.
