The orange one at Cars & Coffee? It was big.

Because all new cars have tall cowls, the new muscle car 'tributes' look tall and narrow. In fact, the 'envelope' of the new Camaro looked a lot like the new Challenger. I'm told the higher cowls are an engineering response to side impact requirements -- or at least test results.
