Years ago I went to a big local car show.  I went on a Thur. or so, the
first day it opened, and there weren't very many people around.  I was
looking at a concept car up on a turntable and decided something wasn't
quite right.  You couldn't get very close to the car so I was down on my
knees trying to look under it when this girl walked over in a business suit,
trying not to grin.  She said she was an employee of the automaker and
admitted that it was just a mockup with no real running gear.


> The Challenger CONCEPT car has the 6.1L SRT-8 Hemi under the hood.  All of
the SRT-8 vehicles have an automatic.  The Automobile Mag article says it
has a 6-spd.  But it IS a concept/show car, hell they could put a 6-spd,
10-spd, or 20-spd in it.  Does anyone know if this car actually runs?  How
do we know it's not just a plywood buck with the big ghetto wheels and
Challenger bodywork bolted to it.
