‘Cuda Concept - Dream or Reality?

    im pretty sure this car will never come out for several reasons

    1. the biggest reason is the car buisiness is not good at the moment, not to mention performance cars

    2. all the muslce cars are headin in the camaro retro/futuristic direction which is a load of crap, eventually they will have such an un-resemblance to the original, that no one will buy

    3. they would have to bring back plymouth, or sell it as a dodge or somethin

    I honestly think that if GM and FORD can create these “Concepts” and make them affordable to the average middle-class workers the Imports will FINALLY have a serious problem economically.

    I would sure hope so. I’d love to see these imports GTFO for good.

  4. VinnyGN

    AMEN! haha

    the 6.1 isn’t a 426, its actually a 380, you can buy stroker kits for the 5.7 HEMI’s which stroke them to a 426 which is pretty dope. Also there was never a production 440 HEMI, the 440 was a big block wedge motor.

    I doubt it will happen now, I test drove the Challenger and wasn’t impressed and it is better looking than this custom concept car. Both of these have the same interior, it’s like being inside a Charger. Bad thing about these is that you need to buy an SRT8 so you can outrun a 4.6L mustang. The 5.7L just won’t do it. You can talk about modding the engine, but you can mod mustangs too so that kind of scratches that out. Also the tiptronic in this thing is very lackluster.

    wtf is a 380? never heard of that in my life to be honest.. was that a motor from the earlier years or did they just come out with that? i’ve heard of 340 and 360 but not 380…

    a cuda would be kick ass so the 6.1 is 380ci hu close to a old displacement in a cuda / challenger the 383 they came in variety 225 -6 273 318 340 360 383 440 and 426 hemi

    Personally I hope this car never makes reality because it will brandish the Cuda name. The rear end looks like something you’d see on a model car and the interior has an 80’s cookie cutter design which only brings back bad memories for me. After owning both a 73 Challenger and 72 Charger (and with a friend in high school who had a 74 ‘Cuda in which we cruised around in) I can honestly say this car needs considerable improvement in both design and interior styling.

    Boooring - the interior looks like ripped off a Mustang. And don’t fool Yourselves - IT’S NO LONGER ABOUT RIMS - NO!!!! - Don’t forget: IT IS THE CAR ITSELF THAT MATTERS!!!!!

  11. CodyLee6969

    the 6.1 is 370ci

  12. CodyLee6969

    i would pay anything to have 1 of these

  13. CodyLee6969

    the stroker kits for the 5.7 bring them up to a 392 hemi. the 6.1 is the 1 that u can buy a stroker kit for to make it a 426

  14. stephensamperi

    yeah the interior definitely didnt match the car…AT ALL

  15. camaro88iroc

    that is badass!!! it is the most modernized looking muscle car

  16. RMCHRGR88

    that is a gorgeous car i would love to see that go into production

  17. JMMoosey

    It’s a good idea that the ‘Cuda may come back. One problem though, which nameplate to put it under. Since Plymouth has been out of production for years now. Now if Chrysler revived the Plymouth nameplate for high performance cars like the ‘Cuda and the Roadrunner, that may work. Although that gets away from what the Plymouth Brand stood for, which was affordable basic transportation.

    I’m a Mopar fanatic,But if they brought the Cuda back,im not sure i could take it seriously with Plymouth on it,because Chrysler Hasnt done anything to the Plymouth Branch in forever.Nothing serious at least.But it still looks cool,wish there was sound clips pr something in the Vid.

  19. MovieMakerKeith

    if I had sound clips they would surely be in there

  20. casey88camaro

    Very true lol

  21. justinjdc24

    The whole back tailight section reminds me of a mustang…

  22. needzpower2

    is it just me or do all the new cars like camero, challanger and cuda have the same body style

  23. MovieMakerKeith

    camaro, nah

    challenger and cuda, yeah

  24. Eidrian111

    what a really really stupid idea to put an automatic transmission in this car

  25. MsPinkDink

    no one wants a 5 spd at the qtr its almost always a 3 with a shift kit or a powerglide

  26. Hemi Hot Rods

    I think with the way the auto industry is going, you know with the rising cost of fuel and all, we should be glad that they are producing anything that future hot-rodder’s could call a muscle car! And if that car has a hemi well that’s just fine with me.

    HI Jgto17,

    You make some great points. As a lover of everything car related, I think it’s so funny that the automakers don’t realize that there will always be market for muscle cars. The mustang retro design made that loud and clear. Followed by the challenger (they really need the cuda), and lastly by the NON retro Camaro.

    Performance will always sell. You have to keep the price where the market can buy and then make a good product.
