Might be a slick little grocery getter. I'll bet the gas mileage is probably a bit frightening though.

That's a show car. But hell, Chrysler might just build it like that. They did with the Viper, Prowler, etc..

Now if it was Chevy, we'd see it at the shows with a TT LS1 putting down 700+ HP to a 6 speed, but it'd hit showrooms with a 3.8L and auto only.

Interesting, but I would'nt trade my Fords for a Chrysler and I don't care how damn fast it is!

Hell... if Dailmer/Chrysler builds it... I'll prob buy one. ****ing sweet car!

Just another case of an engine they have already built being put in another chassis. Same with the Viper using the V10 Ram engine. Dodge/Chrysler has the absolute worst designers, I have never seen a good looking design from that team.

I am sorry guys, but this year's Cobra has been the only stock Mustang, SVT or otherwise with balls that could compete with the Camaros. The Cobra R did it, but it was hardly a widely produced or affordable car. And even the Cobra R which was a stripped down Mustang with a new engine could not defeat even the 01 Z06. Which by the way was cheaper.

Now, I have my flame suit on because I am sure I have "Chebby" glasses or some moronic thing like that, but lets face the facts here. BTW I am not talking modded cars...Just trying to make that clear.

I'm looking to get a new SRT-4 as a daily crusier. 14.0 1/4 I will call it the import eater

 

[03SoCalCobra]

GOD, they really need to ditch that Intrepid grill, then it'd be a hellova car. Although it would put up a really good fight, 13.4 @ 103 and a 4.7 0-60 isn't anything for even a stock 03 to worry about; unless you blow the launch, but even then you'll catch and pass it. Then again, if they start swapping pulleys they could be a small threat (we still have the weight, 5spd and aerodynamic advantage).

That car looks ****ing sweet

I would totally buy that thing if production is with all included in the concept. think about it 430 hp and 480 tq for $33000. hot daum! plus i think the styling is badass

wagon memories

Harry,
Thanks for the wagon pix. Brings back the memories of having the old '72 Buick Sportwagon at school as an undergrad. I don't remember the exact weight, but it seemed pretty light, and that 350ci engine could definitely get up and go. Try getting six guys, luggage, and a trailer with kayaks and a windsurfer to Florida in a cobra!!
