based on wheelbase length given in video..(i did not make this one, found it posted on another site.. can't vouch for it's accuracy.. and i also have no idea where they got a straight on side profile shot)

Camaro:
110.5" Wheelbase
186.2" Length

Challenger:
116.0" Wheelbase
197.8" Length

 

dang. Dodge better make some power if they want to keep up. but I'll bet the camaro will be about the same weight as the GTO.

 

Wow sweet work, where'd you get the side profile shot of the Camaro anyway? I've missed that one. (EDIT - Doh, my reading comprehension is working quite well...)

Are the heights of the cars really proportional? Damn that Challenger is massive...

 

Your dimensions on the Challenger are a bit off.

Here's the press release on the Challenger:

And here are some bigger, different pics of the Challenger:

I read somewhere that Dodge built the car proportionate to the chassis of the 300C. One of the end prototypes built was one in which they had this huge engine compartment with a relatively small cabin and rest of the body. So to compensate for this massive front end, they adjusted the dimensions of pretty much everything.

Now this muscle car is huge!

 

i made a typo on the wheelbase.. meant 116.0... the length is right though

 

as i said in the post above when i posted the image.. i didn't make that picture.. i have no idea where the creator got the side profile pic from..

after viewing the R&T video..there is a shot , directly side on, where it pans from left to right.. i assume one could take a shot of the front, and then the back, from there, and line them up and combine them to form one image

these images i did capture from the video:

 

that is what they did, look at the palm trees in the back on both pictures.

 

The one thing that I do like about this concept is the length. I think that is the perfect length for the Camaro. If the size comparison to the Challenger is right, then the height looks pretty good too. Now all we need is a size comparison to the Mustang.

 

camaro:
wheelbase: 110.5"
length: 186.2"

vs 05+ mustang:
wheelbase: 107.1"
length: 187.6"

i'll work on an image, side by side, and overlay

 

Good work FS. I also think this is a perfect length. It has a pretty good wheelbase with (for its class) a small overall length.

 

On closer inspection of the size comparison pic, it can't be right. Look at the front end of the Camaro as compared to the Challenger. Half of the Camaro is below the Challengers front facia. That can't be right. Cameras can play some tricks with your eyes on profile shots depending on the distance away from the car.

 

I am rather curious on the weight of the camaro as the challenger is supposed to be around 4100 lbs from what I have read.

 

I still highly doubt the Challenger will be 4100. I don't know where that figure came from but that's just waaaay too much it seems for a vehicle of its size.

 

I'm here to guess 3600 on the Camaro.. any takers?

 

i didnt make that pic, so i can't vouch for its accuracy..

i decided to do my own version..

the pic of the challenger is the original unedited pic.. i just pasted a scaled camaro over top of it.. and lined up the bottom of the front wheels
