How good is the car if the PCM is locked and cannot be changed thus preventing tuning ? Any luck in the aftermarket hacking Chrysler's PCM'?

sweet ass car i cant wait to get mine

02_LS1 05-09-2007 09:53 PM

I need to see it in person before I decide on the Challenger or Camaro.

The Mopar E-bodies were the best of the musclecars from the 70s in my opinion. Hopefully, the new ones will continue to turn heads. Can't wait to see one in the flesh. :devil:

I wonder what kind of effect Daimler selling it's shares in Chrysler will have on their drivetrains. My roommate was telling me that most of their transmissions are a Daimler design (He's a service tech at a Chrysler dealership).

I get damn chills whenever I watch that small video. Patrick, you guys over at Thunder Racing are going to have your hands full during the next few years. Now, if only they brought back the Plymouth Barracuda.... :drool:

jimmypop13 05-17-2007 10:01 PM

I havn't decided yet if I want to get the new Challenger or Camaro, but with all the tuning problems it sounds like the Challenger has, what's the point of it? It sounds like it would be good for exhaust and intake and that's it

CHRISPY 05-22-2007 12:55 PM

I have an 06 SRT8 and love it. (I've also owned five LT1/LS1 cars including a C5) The car is awesome. As for slow shifting the SRT8 WOT shift is completed under 300rpm. That is VERY fast. No comparison to the vette or fbody.

The brakes on the car are insane as well.

My only complaint is the lack of posi in the rear end and the drive by wire setup. Even factoring that in it is the best car I've owned.

Anything that weighs 4400 pounds with driver that has the capability of high 12s@110mph bone stock is a beast.

Cheers,
Chris

I keep hearing that the challenger gona be limited production car only 12000 unit which is disappointing

Adam_346 05-25-2007 01:14 AM

I remember all the complaing when cars become fuel injected, then obd II. Look at what this has allowed us to do now. I say give the tuners a liitle while and they'll find a way.

Mike00ss 06-07-2007 10:23 PM

Looks like some nice competition.

S1LV3R 06-14-2007 10:52 AM

That one photo looks like they left the car out back too long and somebody "tagged" the quater panel

I'm sure an SRT-8 version will.... how cool would it be if it were an SRT-10 version (viper motor) :devil: if they put in a freakin truck why not a muscle car?

1FastBrick 06-15-2007 04:45 AM

I know from personal experince, It is diffenitly as bad as it looks!!! I would spend my money on that car in a heart beat over the chevy and I am a die hard chevy guy. I own a few Gm cars/trucks but would definitly be prowd to drive that MOPAR...

Problems will be:

Drive by wire with terrible lag and disconnect feeling
Way to intrusive ESP with no way to disable completely
Terribly slow shifting transmission
No manual Option
ADAPTIVE LEARNING

Just to name a few.

And yes I have a SRT-8 and the title transfers next week to the new owner. After 6000 miles I can't take it anymore. The platform has such potential but with DCX's abortion can-bus system and no way to fix it, the car is a dissapointment.

Exactly what prevented me from owning an SRT-8.

ZR1 DREAMING 06-18-2007 05:34 PM

So I saw 6.1 on the hood.... what else will be offered? Will that be the baddest motor to go in it?

hawk99 06-20-2007 12:11 AM

It looks awesome, I plan on getting one soon after college! But honestly, I think it really needs a spoiler. It just looks odd / incomplete without it. I hope the production version has one.

RedWS601 06-20-2007 09:06 PM

I thought it was going to be a true hardtop? I see a pillar between the side windows.

NemeSS 06-24-2007 02:24 PM

i see a killer turbo system in its future :secret2:

PA Z06 06-26-2007 06:36 PM

Very cool

New photo of the production version on the road.

MavrikTA 06-29-2007 10:57 AM

Oh! Shit!!! :)

PotatoeMasher 07-01-2007 02:13 AM

My only concern is ground clearance issues, its sitting about 3 inches off the ground but it still has an inch and a half of fender gap runing 20s.

ChaseSS 07-30-2007 11:10 PM

Just read today that it will have the viper transmission :) and 2 hemi's to choose from

PotatoeMasher 07-31-2007 12:42 AM

It will have the new TR-6060 in the GT-500s, and in the new Vipers, Corvettes, and Pontiac G8s. Im sure it would come with at least two Hemis just like every other LX, the 5.7 and the 6.1 in the SRTs. But by then there maybe somthing else? 392 perhaps? One can hope... :pimp:

Adam_346 08-08-2007 06:21 AM

Oh that car is gonna be pimpin .... can I order one with an LSX engine? :lol:

Note the single piston calipers. WTF?

Mrbowtie26 09-18-2007 10:38 PM

I sent an email to dodge telling them that I would chose a camaro over a new challenger if they didnt offer a standard tranny and they replied that they will be offering a 5 speed standard with it !!!!!

lsp408 09-19-2007 08:42 AM

screw 5 speed, either go with old school 4 speed or put t-56 in it

I agree I would prefer a 6speed T-56 but a 5 speed is better than an auto for me anyways. I would worry about wheather it could handle the hp reliably though.
