In the animated movie "Cars", what kind of car is Lightening McQueen?

I know that he's a racecar, but I need to know what make and model he is. Can anyone tell me?

    According to a Detroit News article about Pixar, Lightning McQueen is an original with inspiration from a number of models:

    "The main character, Lightning McQueen, is generic, too.

    “It’s a Pixar design,” Sorena said.

    Asked why, she said: “I think they wanted to make him ‘the best’ ” and thus not peg him to any one model.”"

    Best answer greatly appreciated.

    He's Steve McQueen's (notice the similarity in names) Dodge Charger from the movie "Bullit."

    he's just a generic stock car... like in NASCAR. Most stock cars have the same basic shape and have to fit a mold, so the outsides are all basically the same.

    He kinda reminds me of an older model Corvette.
