I just saw this on www.jayski.com, a Nascar website...

Look under the "Cup Series" link on the left, the first article posted.

Rascal

Dodge Charger? the Dodge Intrepid replacement for Dodge's NASCAR entry has
been rumored for months to be a Charger [see my Dodge Past News page], and
am hearing it will be introduced as a new body line in mid year 2005, will
be rear wheel drive, have a Hemi option, and be a four door.
AND The automaker [Dodge] is expected to build a higher-output, 6.1-liter
Hemi to join the current 5.7-liter model, now available in Dodge pickups and
SUVs as well as the Chrysler 300 Series sedan. As many as half of buyers
choose the Hemi in those vehicles. Chrysler has begun putting the bigger
Hemi in prototype models of the all-new 2005 Dodge Charger sedan, which is
in test production in Brampton, Ontario, according to two company sources
familiar with the project. The Charger is expected to reach showrooms next
spring.(Detroit News), July 1st is the drop-dead date set by NASCAR for new
car submissions.(6-19-2004)
