we are prepared to pay 300C srt8 prices for a 6.1L powered challenger...if these rumors are right and it only costs me 31g for a 6.1L challenger, that would be AWESOME..but im not getting my hopes up...i used to work for dodge...
Read my previous post again.. WHY would they release a 5.7 Challenger to only have it replaced by a 6.1 in 16-18 months... If they want to do 3 Challenger Models.. fine. But the current trend at DCX is "Base Hemi" / "Performance Hemi"
The new 6.4 (392) is very real.. its happening very soon.
The Charger, Magnum, 300 SRT will get the 6.4 SOON.. they will not build a 5.7 Challenger base, with a 6.4 SRT.. What exactly do you think is expensive.. its new body work on a platform which will be used on all future Magum, Charger, 300.. and probably a few other new vehicles (Chrysler Sedan).
425hp, 6.1 Challenger.. for $30,999.. is not that crazy of an idea.. its an AMERICAN car.. we've known for years that our build and engineering standards are far below european and asian standards... I have no problem thinking that an AMERICAN MUSCLE CAR was much cheaper to produce than a $35,000 Mitsubishi Evo / Subaru WRX STI.
