Not unless they're media. It's not open to the public until Saturday. I'm going for the "Industry Preview Days" (Wed./Thu.), but I'm going on business and won't have time for photography :(

Well that sucks, I thought it was open to the public on Sunday. I have seen one press release photo of each car, but nothing in great detail. Well I guess this becomes a mission for anyone willing to accept it. Of course you know if you accept this mission and are captured, POTN will deny all knowledge of you and your mission. ;)

The Challenger has coverage in both Car and Driver and Road & Track current issues, so if you just want to see pictures check there. I've also seen the Dodge in online news photos.

The Challenger isn't a bad modern "tribute" to the original, and best year: 1970.

No, but they're in the paper. Camaro = 400bhp 'Vette engine & 30mpg on the highway. (Yeah, rigggghht!) "Air intakes at the rear wheels"??? Build date = maybe never???
Challenger = 425bhp Hemi! :D

It's going to have the displacement on demand - so it'll probably shut down 4 cylinders when cruisin' on the hwy. :)

Barring GM's demise, this vehicle (or a variation of it) will be built.

It will do 30 mpg highway. Heck my old LT1 gets 28. Many LS1 Camaros get over 30. With the double overdrive you are talking like 1600 rpms 70 mph. They officially said it has the green light for production now. So word is '09.

30 mpg... not an issue.... my old '02 vette did about that and if they put some more engine managment on it... no big deal.

Source? According to GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz this AM, they'll "decide over the next few months whether to build the new version". I expect that they will, but it's still in rumor mode. ;)

Yep you'er right. But this is the source people have been talking about as to why they think it will be made. http://www.edmunds.com …/do/News/articl​eId=108825 (external link)
My mistake, not official, but suppliers have been talking.

I'll be happy to see it happen, but for now I'll file it under "Hope springs eternally". ;)
