I'd like the sky with the 427 in it, like the solstice that one aftermarket shop was doin. The car itself looks appealing to me as I've always wanted a roadster (TVR Sargeris, Z4, MR2 (second gen with widebody kit),etc.). With some power I wouldn't mind driving it.

Dodge Demon

Looks like the Demon put the sky in its place but something needs to be done for the solstice, I wonder are they going to put the srt4 caliber engine(280 hp) in it, I likes, with the current 4-door charger's front end and back it sould have been the 2-door charger anyone agree

I didn't think Dodge was following through on this car, are you sure this will see production? Is it RWD btw?

If it is really that light and comes with the caliber power plant, that seems like a winner to me. I just pray to god they come with aftermarket front bumpers the whole dodge "cross" in the middle is just way too played out and ugly if you ask me.

My mother-in-law had one of those, she just traded it in yesterday on a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. The Crossfire was fun to drive, my wife and I would take it out occationally. But it was very impracticle for her and she needed something bigger. I wish I could afford to buy cars that cost that much.

It also has roughly the same dimensions and nearly twice the hp and torque as the Demon. Looks like a serious lack of Chrysler imagination.

I would definately take the crossfire over that demon. to me the demon looks stupid in front, and in back. the crossfire may be a little old, but it still looks nice, esp. that SRT6. plus over twice the power, uh obvisous choice is the crossfire, at least IMO

Dimensions are irrelevant if you can keep the car at that considerably lower weight. 400lb's lighter than a crossfire is a lot. The 170hp is also the entry level number just like the solstice and sky, if they put the srt-4 engine in, it would run circles around the crossfire. Furthermore, how is it a lack of imagination, thats like saying the g5 is a lack of imagination in comparison to the higher displacement and heavier g6. It is just a step up.

Demon - mini Viper
Solstice/Sky -mini Vette

I kinda like the demon better than the GM products, but I still wouldn't buy one. Its too small for me, and I'm not a roadster person
