I had a new Charger for a rental car a few weeks back. I was actually quite impressed. It was the first time I have been impressed with a Chrysler product since the 1970’s.

However, I have to disagree. The GTO, IMHO was the coolest muscle car of all time.

The GTO, IMHO was the coolest muscle car of all time.> Agreed. I had a '69 with just the standard engine and a 3-speed automatic (thanks, Mom, Dad wanted the Judge), and it blew the doors off of virtually anything out there. It was a classy muscle car, with fantastic lines to go with its power and heritage. Didn't handle worth a damn, but that was normal back then.

I'd love to see a new GTO come out (yeah, I know, Pontiac Motor Division is dead), but with a modernized version of the Ram Air V (yes, V, NOT IV) engine. Butler Performance up in Tennessee has one that produces over 500 horses on pump gas, with over 700 available with not too much in modifications (and still on pump gas). But anyway, PMD won't be resurrected, and I wouldn't buy any new Communist Motors products at this point anyway. I guess that I'll have to modify an old Goat and put that Ram Air V engine into it.
