Challenger twin?
Now that the Challenger in on the way will it spawn a twin. Will we finally get a 300C coupe. It seems like a no brainer. I thought the 300C chop's looked really good. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

I had the impression if Challenger got a twin it would be a Chrysler retro Cuda just based on the illustrations by Thom Taylor. I assumed because they were in the Hotrod great comeback issue he was a Chrysler engineer.

The Challenger/300c Coupe makes perfect sence. The Challenger really isnt a Mustang. Its a higher dollar small production halo car. More like a vette with 4seats.
You could then sell 300C coupes as a kind of BMW 6 series fighter. Not everyone wants a in your face styled car. You could then sell a twin to a differnt type of buyer.

Chrysler has been trying to build a case for a car like the Challenger since at least 2003, and if you include the almost produced Dodge Venom, you can trace it back alot longer. Like the prospect of the Firebird, Chrysler isn't going to compete with themself, but like Pontiac knows they need a coupe that's very different than what the other division is offering.
Chrysler is still looking at the Firepower, and is due to make a decision on it soon. A 300C coupe IS possible, and as mentioned, is relatively easy to do.
But just offering an opinion based on what little bit I do know about Chrysler, Chrysler won't make a coupe that's just a 2 door 300, and most certainly won't make a decorated Challenger with a Chrysler nameplate.
