Personally, I can't wrap my head around the Challenger having a V6 to begin with... (notice the dot dot dot) somethin' just don't seem right about that whole idea... (did it again)
Obviously, you're not out of the 1970s. The original Challengers offered an inline 6-cylinder. Part of the reason the E body design existed was that it could accommodate EVERY engine Chrysler made. Personally, the more I think about insurance and gas prices, the better and better the V-6 looks. Either that or buy an R/T (definitely NOT SRT) new, then hope the V-6 Challengers make their way into rental car fleets and buying one of those at a reasonable price for daily driving.
I know, I know... they had the bullett proof 225 slant six in those days... had a few of them over the years. Fairly good in the power department, nice torque, and as I recall the '69 Barracuda I had got 25 mpg to boot. Also knew I was setting myself up for editorial commentary when I posted my comment. I can also understand why
practical, consciencious people might want a V6, but I guess the Challenger really dosen't speak practical to me...
