Not true, look at the '66 Oldsmobile Toronado. It had a 425ci and the '67 Toro had a 455ci.

i shall end the toronado thing on this note

the power from the big block went to the front tires via chain

big block + front drive = bad

BB + FWD + chain drive = GM engineers should have killed themselves out of mortal shame lol


Jay Leno did it right .................. that is the last word

[BIGWORM_25]

Just think of how many manufacturers are building rear wheel v-8 powered sport coupes.Ford has the Mustang.The limping home General has the G.T.O..Along with a very VERY few import companies.I cant see Daimler Chrysler risking it on this car.(dont count the Viper,Vette,GT they are considered "premium" sport coupes.)

quote for the fuking truth. gm is dead lets let them die in peace and not speak of them again.

[BigDon]

amen to that

[ratfink454]

I should say that my respect for the Toronado stems more from aesthetics than design. If I were to get a '66 Toro, (which might happen soon) I'd covert it to AWD, not RWD as Leno did.

BTW Traction, If the sixties were dark days for GM, when were the light?

the wrong wheel drive oldsie's were the dark days for gm, i want to get my hands on the fuker that sat at some meeting and said " why don't we make it powered from the front wheels" and put him through the pain i feel just from thinking about the front wheels spinning on a real car.

trust me i have owned my share or maybe mine and alot of others share of gm heavy metal gm cars, but now i'm floating with the ford camp but as long as it is a domestic v8 rear wheel drive car i'm all for it. i right now own ford and gm and mopar cars. but the ford is my baby.

[ratfink454]

Well, the '66 Toronado is the only FWD car I even remotely like that I can think of at the moment. as far as this new Challenger goes, I must clarify that I would despise the thing if it was anything but RWD.

Also, I currently own two Ford's and two GM's, so I have seen how they hold up and whatnot, and I have observed that Fords generally cost more to maintain/modify and vary greatly quality wise depending on the price bracket your car is from whereas most GM's do not. That's just my experience, however.

Meh who cares.. the Tornado wasnt no Chrysler lol!!!

But um.. How can it look like a caddy from the back... All caddys have long vertical lights (most of them) going down the sides....

I REALLY HOPE that its RWD... ima go check...

i find nothing... Not even if I try to customize a "Charger"

STFU Phrequency, SRT-4's suck BTW.


Oh yeah, and the 6.1 could easily be made FWD, wasn't the Olds Toranado a 7.0?




EDIT! After reading the article carefully, they sid its based off of the 300C/Magnum?Charger platform, so that means its RWD

[ford_racer]

YES!

the challenger looks badass, but id still take the new GT500. but this would be second.

How about you STFU. Just because something is based on a certain chasis/platform dont mean ****. Dumbass
