Well, I think that the black on the "gills" really help out the car's lines a lot. What the SRT lacks is a look of muscle with just teh right hint of sexy curves. It is too slap sided, like the last gen camaro. Flat shapes have no sex in them. We like big, round, firm things. Look at the sex kitten pin ups today, or any time as long as I can remember, they have roundness to accentuate them. We like that. Dodge forgot that.
I remember my Dad, who is a photographer, told me when he was teaching me how to bring out interest in a subject. He told me that everything has a face. Photograph everything as if it had a mood, a feeling, something to say. Take this one step further and apply it to the car's design. It's a super butch ***** right now. It may be able to run the mile in 4 minutes flat and bench 400 lbs., but it also looks like a brick shithouse, cool for a HUMMER, not for a sports car. This car needs some curves.
I adjusted the nose a bit like Clint suggested. I also added a little bit of buldge in the SRTs hips (rear fenders). To avoid a fat feeling (remember, curves are good but fatties are not sexy) I brought in the waist (right before the rear fenders towards the trailing edge of the door) a bit. The change is subtle but one that just gives a bit of a different feeling to the car. It should also be more pronounced in 3D than in a photograph. Now what needs to be done is a little bit of work on the hood. I'm tired and I've worked too damn much recently to toil over this tonight but perhaps I will work on the hood and front fenders later if I get time next week. The rear overhang should also be brought in, and the nose as well to balance it out. Too much overhang will make the car look too large. No porkers allowed. If anyone has a 3D model, prefferably in NURBS that is readable by MAYA, I'll show you what the car shold really have looked like.
