RE: Anti-V6?
Well we know they are offering a 3.5. My 3.5 in the Charger is plenty quick, lacks exhaust note tune, is good on mileage.
I think buying Challenger for looks is great!!
Same buying principles apply now as in 1970. Each package has its pros and cons. If you wanted the elephant in 1970 you bought the hemi, no B.S. then, you were the king and the front hood badging said so. Likewise 440/ 6 pack and 440 magnum said so on the hood and meant business too. Cost a factor then, and now too. Me...no SRT 8 for Steve, but 5.7 or 6.1 mid year, yes, I'd send the message with the badging and performance and cost.
Reminds me of my friend when we were back overhauling the 440 on my '70. This was 10 years ago, we were both 40 ish. He says, "man I can't wait to get this out and maybe we can race against some young guys in a rice burner" Me I'm thinking, that the badge says it all, and I could read the headlines, "Local Dentist arrested in late night drag racing bust, Classic muscle car impounded." I guess I'm a grown up after all.
