Big Three plan new versions of high-power autos

By Larry Hendrick | November 4, 2006

It’s time, once again, to return to the time of our youth, to a time when the air is filled with burning rubber and exhaust fumes. Yes, a return to the Big 3 fighting for dominance at the race track every weekend. A time of rivalry between the powerhouse auto makers of old …

Of course, it will be another three years before it can happen. As stated in the article, the Challenger arrives in 2008 and the Camaro shows up the next year. For the time being, the rivalry will have to be on paper, and with statistics from concept cars.

The Dodge Challenger is set to return in 2008 followed by the Chevy Camaro in 2009, both ready to duke it out with the Ford Mustang, which doesn’t have to return because it never left when everyone else gave up on muscle cars.

Soon Chevy, Ford and Dodge will be at it again, trying to eke out more power and lower zero-to-60 times than the others to attract customers to their showrooms.
