Dodge Challenger (the new one)

This is the Dodge Challenger...
It's simply gorgeous.  And, it's pretty darn quick.

There's just one (HUGE) problem with it -- it doesn't have a limited-slip differential.  What does this mean?  It means that when you try and do a burnout (like in the picture above) only one of the back wheels will actually spin and create smoke.  So unless you strategically photograph it from just one side (see above), you will look very foolish.  This is a massive design flaw in a muscle car because, lets face it, the whole point of owning a muscle car is driving fast in straight lines and doing burnouts.

Nevertheless, its a great looking car -- in my mind the best looking of the three current retro muscle cars (although supposedly not the best driving).  That's because its got the best looking C-pillar I've seen on a car in a long time, it has those awesome recessed headlights, and it looks unmistakably like a ferocious muscle car searching for its next victim.
