so, HXC, you expect to see a production model with a 727 trans, and a dana rearend? maybe leaf springs? i mean, why else would they put them on the production model if they werent going to use them in production?
Obviously not.. I never said the Super Stock was a preview of the Production model. All I said is that the Super Stock was built to promote the 392 Hemi. Would seem like a large waste of resources if the vehicles only intent was to sell some Crate Motors.
I'd be perfectly happy with a 5.7 and $30,999. I'm more interested in the price being kept down.. lower base price allows for a higher potential aftermarket business.
As much as we have no evidence of there ever being a 6.4 Challenger.. Dodge has also never had 3 Hemi options in one vehicles.
A 6.1 Hemi just will not cut it when the Camaro SS comes out, and already against the GT500. On top of that the Challenger will probably weigh 4,000 pounds.
I have no problem accepting a 5.7 R/T, 6.1 SRT, then a special edition 6.4. But Chrysler has never gone that route before, so its the same as assuming we'll see a 6.1 R/T then a 6.4 SRT. Two possibilities, neither of which Chrysler has done before, speculate what you will.
