A hell of a lot better than the original one.

Stefan · 24-10-2010, 10:53 AM

AAAAAHHHH my eyes....

This car features some liberal doses of FAIL.

I love the original Superbirds...but that thing is hideous. Proportions are totally wrong.

Road_Warrior · 24-10-2010, 10:55 AM

It looks bloody stupid. Just like the old one.

WMD351 · 24-10-2010, 11:04 AM

Sacrilegious

Rodp · 24-10-2010, 11:06 AM

Had many posters of the original - this one just looks wrong.

**TUF_302** · 24-10-2010, 11:13 AM

Its big and ridiculous, just like the original, so it works

Total blasphemy, you phillistine.. You should hang your head in shame..
The original was a work of art..

This is a nice retro look back, allthough the Superbird was based on the Plymouth version of the B series body (Charger/Roadrunner body), not the Challenger/Cuda E series bodies.

I actually like it. Great piece of retro styling in my opinion, the lines and proportions of the donor challenger suit it really well.

What he said.

As a Full on MOPAR man at heart, that is NOT a good reincarnation.

These idiots obviously didnt know that the original was made from a CHARGER. NOT CHALLENGER. The proportions are totally wrong, they DON'T match up. They should of used the current charger (albeit being a four door, which itself is wrong "A four door Charger WTF????". That may have looked good. The old SB was LOONNNNNNGGG & elegant. The Challenger is too short & stubby. Old Superbird: Marilyn Monroe, "New" Superbird: Bridget the Midget

To be honest this is a cop-out. Like a tuning company grabbing a FPV GT, modding it out to look "retro", then slapping a GTHO badge on it.

Nope, sorry, I'm, a diehard MOPAR man but this is wrong.

Credit for trying. Good on you guys, but that same credit is wiped out by the result.

Pretty cool, great idea. Execution is actually alright although that rear wing is about 4 inches too tall imo.

**Revolver** · 24-10-2010, 07:24 PM

YUMMMMM!

Hey!!! That works...

Hell, even that works.

OOOOHHHHH YEAH!!!!

ERRRRRRRMMMMMMM *grabs bin*

Plus its not a Plymouth. Its a dodge..... (Yes I know they were a subsidiary company)

Ryan · 24-10-2010, 07:41 PM

Looks bloody horrible. They just wrecked a nice retro U.S muscle car.

Unlike most "performance" cars of today, the Daytona / Superbird was form over function. It was designed for top speed at NASCARS new super speedways like Talledaga. The nosecone was basically made long and low enough to fit the Charger front guards, headlights, etc. The grille opening was small and they were pretty notorious for overheating. The rear wing was made high enough to allow the boot to still open (but it was adjustable). They already had the Charger 500 fiberglass rear window insert to clean up the airflow over the car. In NASCAR form with single four barrel 426 Hemi, they hit 200mph on the super speedways .. Before they were finally hobbled by authorities.
Kneel before the King ...

Hey its not that bad...

Its better then this.

I wish retro cars would die though.

madmatty · 24-10-2010, 08:02 PM

I Like It

buickman · 24-10-2010, 10:47 PM

Never command the $"s of the orignal. Every one has different tast but I think it's OK and stands out of the crowd

irlewy86 · 24-10-2010, 10:49 PM

I know its wrong but I like it.

MexicanBatman · 24-10-2010, 11:21 PM

if its a dodge then why not the road runner?

above is what happens if you have too much cash and just drop your car off to be built...

dodge daytona

plymouth superbird

they looked the same but were different

TheInterceptor · 24-10-2010, 11:23 PM

The original charger ones are like a kick in the pants in the looks department, but in a good way, a very very good way. Although the challenger one (to me) doesnt really have it, could probobly grow on me though.

kinksta · 24-10-2010, 11:53 PM

It looks good. Nuff said...

Rev28K · 25-10-2010, 12:01 AM

The original had a reason for existing (homologation) this one doesn't. Are the fender flares real?

And seeing as Plymouth is dead shouldn't they have tried for a modern day Daytona?

I bet it'd be easier to do the "beep beep" horn with today's technology.

Sapper · 25-10-2010, 09:04 PM

I've had a good look at the photos and I reckon that without the rear wing it would look tops.

Fled74 · 26-10-2010, 08:57 AM

I liked the original, and I like this one almost as much.

Long live "The King."
