showstoper93, first of all I welcome you to the site. Now to answer your question, that dealer is adding about a $25K addition to the price. My advice go to a different dealer. The 6.1L is around $40K. As far as we are aware, they will be continuing to offer the 6.1L as well as have a manual option and will offer the 5.7L and 3.5L, your dealership is feeding you lies so then you get into a panic and want to get the 6.1L automatic now at the higher price. In fact there are rumors that a bigger engine either a 6.4L or 6.5L will be offered in the Challenger later.
