PKRWUD:

Well, I don't get to read as many car magazines as I used to so this info is all good news, if it works out.

Unfortunately, I've read similar stuff over the years regarding all three manufacturers and little of it ever comes to pass - or the 'musclecar' turns out to have a V-6 with an automatic.

I think a lot of this hype are just trial balloons and teasers that some of the departments want to build but then the bean-counters cut them off, or gut the projects to the point were they ccannot be done right and are abandoned. At least Chrysler still has the 450 HP Dodge Viper V-12. Now that's an audacious machine! Keep 'em coming.

I hope all the hype, rumors and 'you-can-take-it-to-the-bank' promises from the auto companies and the folks 'in the know' who spread the word about future musclecar offerings are all 100% true.

We'll see.
