Dodge Barracuda

Postby suzq044 » Wed Mar 07, 2012 6:24 pm

- i know what ur thinking.. Dodge didn't make the Barracuda. I know that, but they will be, soon-ish. So I made a concept of what it could be. The word is, it's supposed to be replacing the Challenger on the line, and won't be as retro as the Challenger. It's supposed to be smaller than Challenger, lighter and get a supercharged 6.2L V8.

Onto the Chop, well, it's not really a chop, it's another air-brushing. As per the usual, not entirely realistic, but IDK what to do with it from here.

LMK what you think, and if I should do anything further to it.

Great concept! I like the whole look of it, especially the tail lights
Also, I like the vents near the front window. Looks like gills, which you were probably going for! :)
I think it would look much better if you fixed the rear arch though!

i would say to find a donor in the same angle and just copy the arch from it!

Maybe just a modern take on the exhaust, rectangular and what not.

I thought about using like.. the new Charger exhaust [link], but it didn't quite look right, so I left it classic round, like the SuperBee [link]. Plus, it's cheaper that way.. irl.

I meant like the Mazda 6, http://autoblogcar.com/mazda6-to-recommends-spiders-problems-peta/2009-mazda6-rear-view/ look closely into the back holes for the exhaust, you'll see they are round.

Don't want to be rude, or point you towards JDM cars, but it really needs a larger diameter exhaust, comparing the looks of the vehicle, the ones you have are to punny.

At least make it quad or different shape.
