Blogs, car sites, and automobile have been hyping up the tenet Dodge Challenger to the point at which you would think the automobile is almost ready to roll off a DCX assembly line. To say that the prototype is being well received is an understatement — quite frankly if the Challenger was available for sale today the waiting list would be many months long. Such is the demand for a retro car that takes its styling cues right from the ‘71 Challenger.

As it now stands, the car will be built as DaimlerChrysler has given its blessing to the new Challenger. Still, the Challenger is more than three years from being made as it is certain to be released some time during 2009 as a 2010 model. Yes, the wait will be hard for many, but if the hype equals the performance, then the wait will actually be worth your while.

Some folks are against the entire retro vehicle revolution. Citing that Detroit must reach back in time to make relevant cars is a sworn statement to the each automaker’s troubles. To the contrary, I suspect the various revived models currently being planned or already on our streets is a clear affidavit to Detroit eventually listening to its patrons : we want cars that are uniquely styled and we would like them to perform precisely the way you will say they’ll perform. No fake hood scoops, no heralded model name slapped on an auto that pales in comparison to the original. No, we do not would like you to build the original model we would like you to build the original model better. Take the styling cues and run with them and incorporate modern technology to boost on the first design. That’s all we ask.

So, just what can enthusiasts expect when they take delivery of their Challenger? Well, like I claimed the automobile is still in the planning stages, but what I have gleaned from various sites is the following information:

Modified Platform — If you like the Mercedes based LX platform currently used to run the Chrysler three hundred, Dodge Magnum, and Dodge Charger then the LY platform will suit you too. DCX is preparing to modify the LX platform for its next generation of autos and the LY based Challenger will be one of many cars built on it. Some have suggested that the LY will be the LX on steroids, whatever that means.

Did Someone Say Hemi? — Each Mopar product of significance will have optional Hemi power and the Challenger is no exception. Expect a V6 to be standard with the optional Hemi V8 for performance versions of the auto. Some have suggested that the the 425 h.p. SRT 6.1L V8 will also be supplied for the Challenger.

Ragtop Regalia — Chrysler says that the Sebring will be its only convertible offering, but that leaves Dodge dealers without a soft top vehicle to market [other than the Viper, of course]. Notwithstanding this bit of information, look for a Challenger convertible to show up 1 or 2 years after the car’s debut. Heck, if DCX doesn’t want to build one then O.E.M coach builders will do the job for them. You can bet that Dodge dealers will make these arrangements if DCX doesn’t.

Yes, the Challenger will not be in new automobile showrooms anytime soon. For those among us waiting with “baited breath” we’re going to have to console ourselves with the many blogs, sites, and auto shows hyping the car. Other than that, try to imagine your glossy new Challenger stopped at a traffic light with a Mustang on one side and a Camaro on the other side….
