2014 Dodge Barracuda

[73 kooda]

just read theyre replacing the challenger with a smaller framed barracuda in 2014!!!...what u guys think?....i'll be 40 then...cant think of a better way to celebrate....they already make "cuda" body kits to make the challengers look like a cuda....but its sooo big they should call it "buddha"....get it....haha....wonder what its gonna look like

 

[beepahh]

your right they are discontinuing the challenger in 2014 ......... not cool at all.......and coming out with a SRT barracuda or something since plymouth division is gone.......they cannot use the "CUDA name as the rights were sold to someone else. I personally wish they would just keep the challenger and out a true 426 CI hemi in it all motor non of the supercharged stuff........just my 2cents.......

Do you have a link to this?

Thats good news. That Challenger is a fat pig. I hope they can keep it around 3500lb.

Your kidding right?

Who the hell would sell the name and who the hell purchased it!

Did just that yesterday. The only thing I've read that's fairly definitive is that the new 'Cuda will be coming in at about the size of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, which means it'll be shedding about 1000 pounds off the current Challenger. Good news.

As long as it is a 2 door with a HEMI, then yea, we are off to a good start. :headbang:

3500lb or less would be nice. What is the current Challenger, 4200lb or so? They could knock close to a second off the 1/4 mile time with just that alone.

I'm way to excited for this!

I'm just worried that with Fiat's influence on Chrysler that it'll come out looking nothing like the car we know and love.

Is that a bad thing? Sometimes the retro look can be carried too far.

Nice! IMO, a few more body tweaks to separate the car a bit more and that would be great.

I like it so far.
