That'd be sweet, Oh wait it is sweet.
Can you feel it all of us dreaming about cars we cant afford but probably could if we stopped buying magazines to read about them.

The concept was realeased in 99 FYI.

But the actual car will be a sedan model with supposedly the SRT version being the 6.1/stanrdard tranny available. At least thats what I'v gathered from my research.
