Sweet ride man - looks a lot better w/o that CF hood too - Really clean!

Thx. I've made down payment on the Challenger. DCX has officially stated the car will go into production in Apr 2008. They are being built in Canada.

hmmmm.... you guys got me wondering... how crazy would a 7MG-TE that was breathed on to the tune of daily reliable 400WHP in a RWD converted Solara be like out on the road... (you know... just to DO it...)

i actually thought of that... NOT that i would do it but just thought... and would be better with a 2jz gte with 1jz head

They let you make a downpayment on a car not yet in production? Strange...

[Paladin06Greg]

Not really. It's been done many times before.

OK, if you say, I have never heard of that before.

It happens all the time, anytime a new Ferrari or Lamborghini is introduced the wait list goes to 2+ years right off the bat. Sometimes it's not even a downpayment but just a name on a list.

OK, but a Dodge is not a Ferrari...and a name on a list is different than a downpayment.

All I said was that putting money down, and a dealer accepting it, for somehting that hasn't even seen production was strange...that's all. You have no idea what the REAL car will be like.

Yeah. I have to agree.
Paladin, thats a bold move to put money down on a vehicle which hasn't even begun production yet. Its cool and all, but thats a big risk.

I have my name on a list for the first Nissan GT-R, but thats not going to happen. I bought a Yaris instead and decided to throw all of my extra money back into my Solara.

Good luck with your Challenger.

I'm a personal fan of throwing in the 2UZ-FE if we're making a RWD Solara... it's been done to the Celica and pushed to close to 1000 hp for the drag; I'm sure a 5 or 600 hp street twin-turbo 4.7 would be a sweet wheel-stander!
