It is Dodge's top of the line Challenger. I don't think it's meant to compete with the GT500 and there is no Z28 yet.

People keep bringing up the weight, but it's 300 lbs more than a Camaro. I guess I just don't see how that matter all that much. 75 pounds of that can differentiate just with the driver alone. I drop my spare tire there's another 30 or 40.
Unless they make the car smaller, I'm not sure where weight could be saved. The hood is already aluminum. If it were smaller, it really wouldn't be the muscle car that is is today. Maybe if they shaved 6 inches off the front and back...but I'm not sure how much weight that would save.
