It's on a revamped viper chassis.

I think it's hot as hell. The only similarity to the California is really the rear hips. Kinda like the 5th gen and the older chargers are similar. I love that it's still viperesque. I love when you look at cars and know exactly what it is because it carries the same styling cues just refined and modernized. Kinda like a 5th Gen ahem ahem ahem. Makes the Vette look like a bland kit car IMO. Congrats to Dodge. Nice work.

No. They said yesterday during the unveil that they looked at it, but decided to go for their proper solution as "nothing was good enough"...

That is so awesome. I love that they built this thing from the ground up and didn't just slap on a supercharger and some suspension in a already tired platform.
