RE: Autoblog thoughts on the Allpar powertrain information
I few thoughts I have about the Autoblog review. They stated the V6 engine as being a 4.5 (which such an engine does not exist at this time from Chrysler's current production), instead of a 3.5L. Some of the people reviewing this need to study the LX cars more closely before they start to whine about the rumor that the Challenger might use the 42RLE. The simple fact is in reviews, the W5A580 5-speed shows no real advantage over the 42RLE. The acceleration times are the same, fuel economy results are the same, the only difference is in the bragging rights. The 42RLE is less expensive to build and makes more sense to use until Chrysler either develops some new transmissions or reworks other ones that have a real advantage and can justify the extra cost.
