If I was going to have an American Muscle Car, it would be a Challenger.\
When the Big 3 did the redo a few years back of the 70's cars, only Dodge kept it true to form. The Camaro looks like Godzilla stepped on it and squashed it, The Mustang is pretty good, but Dodge hit it out of the park, at least styling wise. Put a 70's Challenger next to a new one and they look almost the same. The new one is updated slightly, but very true to form.

As far as 700 HP, well it will be really fact in a straight line, but our Boxsters will run circles around it on curves, even with a 3rd of the HP. Hell, the 0-60 time isn't that impressive considering the HP and Torque. A new 911 turbo is faster with a lot less HP
