Keep hammering the 6.4L option. I would be willing to wait an additional year if I knew it was coming. Hopefully, that's the idea behind the SRT-8 model.
HERE HERE!
I Agree...
We need to KEEP HAMMERING on a base/spartan optioned model 5.7-Hemi V8 & solid live axle Challenger model @ the same MSRP price range of $25,000-$27,000 as the base V8 Mustang-GT model, as well as HAMMERING on a 6.4-Hemi V8 Challenger & a high-output base Challenger & base V6 models too....
This would do much more to assure the Chalenger of higher volume sales & marketing/finacial success as well as lower available MSRP price ranges through-out such a Challenger line-up.
Remember, it is better to sell 200,000 units @ $2500-$3500 profit/unit like Ford is doing with the Mustang, giving all of the customers what they want,(v6,baseV8,& hi-endV8,),at an affordable MSRP price range, versus selling say 15,000-25,000 units @ $4000-$6000 profit/unit @ higher MSRP prices of a limited production Challenger, offering only a base V6 and a high-end optioned-out 6.1/6.4-Hemi V8 R/T or SRT-8 varriant with no base/spartan 5.7-V8-Hemi/solid live axle varriant of the Challenger.
If Dodge wants to have the kind of success that Ford has had with the Mustang, then they will need to do this right by offering all the variants mentioned above...
