On the off chance that anyone still cares about the original poster's question, the current 'insider' rumor is that a 6.1 R/T will cost about what a Mustang GT vert costs, or around $31k...
Has the "insider" looked at the sticker on the SRT8 Charger? The one I saw was around $45K. I would think the Challenger is going to be north of that.
Its obvious the base Hemi Challenger will be much less than the SRT8 Charger.. "Under $31,000" came out of DCX a long time ago.. and many of the "insiders" real or not, all believe the same thing (on multiple forums).
The question remains, will the "Under $31,000" be the 5.7 or 6.1?
My guess.. $30,999 will get you a 6.1 Hemi Challenger.
The 2009-2010 SRT Charger, Magnum, 300, Challenger are all rumored to be getting the new 6.4 (392) with over 500hp.
They wouldnt release a 5.7 Challenger for late 08, then a 6.1 for 2009-2010.
I think we'll see the 6.1 Hemi in 2008.. then a 6.4 SRT sometime in 2009.
