There's no doubt we all love 60s & 70s US Muscle, but there have been some horn creations in the last decade. Both factory concepts & custom builds from more modern platforms.

I came across this shot today at work (Chrysler head office - Yes, I know...) that inspired me to kick it off - The 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Blacktop. Awesome.

Deano, I'd take both those, I posted a blue ZR1 earlier in this thread. If I wanted a supercar I'd not even go any of that euro crap....OK maybe a couple like a Zonda F, but give me a ZR1 any day.

That orange Gen 5 gives me a woody also

Plymouth, not my favorite car, though. I leans more toward the big block Chevrolet Camaros and Chevelles. They were just a bit more sophisticated Plymouth. Ford Mustang with 428 engine, but the car had its origin is a common economy car, and I never cared much about them. They do not go like stink, but even if the treatment is not so great.

It is a concept and I hope it stays that way.

Its a stingray concept car bought out in 2009. I read about it a while ago, they said it was a concept made to combine the classic corvette design with modern features. Comes with all the concept wankery like scissor doors etc and I think it was a hybrid. I also heard a rumour that it may be the basis for the C7 corvette, whether that will happen or not, I don't know.

It was also in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen as Sideswipe (the one that 'rollerblades' around and cuts the Audi in half at the start)

The front is terrible but I don't mind the side or the rear, I think if they toned it down a bit it might be OK.

I think the concept car also has a split rear window like 63 vette.

Car designs have gotta start somewhere, radical concepts have brought us some of the aspects we love about our cars.
