SRT Barracuda not replacing Challenger
Chrysler is reviving yet another one of its classic nameplates, the Barracuda. The original was a Plymouth, a brand that does not exist anymore, and the new one will be the SRT Barracuda. Will you be looking to sell or purchase a used or new SUV? If this describes you, take a look at CarDealExpert.com!
No more need for Challenger SRT
American automakers have a bit of a penchant for traditional muscle vehicles, as they keep coming up with new versions of classics from the 1960s and 1970s. Granted, so does the public; they keep buying them. Some never left, as the Corvette and Mustang have never left and the Impala has been off-and-on since its inception.
Since 2007, there have been rumors that the Barracuda classic muscle car would return, according to MotorTrend, but now the rumors have been confirmed. The Challenger and Charger have been popular and the Dart is coming soon.

The brand new 'Cuda was rumored to be a replacement for the Challenger but, according to AutoGuide, only the SRT8 Challenger is said to be getting the axe. Officially, it will be the SRT Barracuda, as the Challenger will remain a Dodge.
If the Challenger does not do the trick
Right now, all of this is still considered to be rumors. The car is not even anticipated until 2014, and it is not scheduled at any upcoming car shows just yet. You should not get a bank auto loan for it just yet. Try and wait until the rumors are confirmed.
Just like the Dart, the SRT Barracuda is going to share little more than a name with its progenitor, the Plymouth Barracuda. The initial was a large car, with a very distinctive “fishbowl” fastback which some found not-so-appealing and others loved. Certainly, it will still be a Chrysler and it could be had with a V-8. Not only that but it could get according to AutoGuide it could get a Hemi V-8. A range of engines are likely to be offered, beginning with a rumored turbo-four cylinder with a V-8 at the top.
Up to three inches are likely to be taken off the Challenger and it will get a new platform instead of the one it currently shares with the Chrysler 300. The Barracuda is anticipated to get the brand new platform for the Challenger in 2014. The brand new platform was produced in competition with Mustang.
Challenger remaining a cruiser
Essentially, the difference between the two appears to be, as Motor Authority suggests that the Challenger is going to remain a cruiser. Not a serious driver's car, but essentially a blue-collar grand tourer. The SRT Barracuda seems to be geared to be a more serious sports car.
It definitely won't be out for almost two years, so don't try to find it at any Houston, Indianapolis or Springfield Dodge Chrysler Jeep dealerships.
