There is many on this forum that comment on the Challenger and list the main gripe being the weight as a draw back, but when I have my Cutlass parked next to the Challenger it is about the same length. Truth is that the Challenger is what I would have called a mid size car back in the 80's and that is what I am looking for. Today with the new safety requirements plus other factors to make a mid size car like Cutlass I'm sure it would be 4500lbs that is just the reality now.
I want comfort in my ride I can't climb into a car that is hard to get into and out of, I am not able to handle a jarring ride. With someone that has a fused spine I would not be able to ride in a Camaro for more than 30 min and then suffer with the result.

After reading your health situation, I see what you are saying. You enjoy a larger car that is more comfortable.

When I say, "smaller", I suppose I'm talking more about the vehicle's weight. Sure, the exterior dimensions would have to shrink slightly, but I'm not talking about making a car the size of a Dodge Omni. I would actually like to see a new 'Cuda that would be in the neighborhood of ~3,800 lbs. Considering the Challenger is strictly focused on the 1/4 mile, a slightly smaller and lighter platform would only improve it's performance stats.
