RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
I'll be getting a V6. I know someone with a V6 magnum and he's happy with it and the challenger will probably be 100 pounds or so lighter than that. If you plan on racing your car or HAVE to be able to beat mustangs and camaros then by all means get the more powerful engines. I just don't feel that anything over 300hp (even in a 4000lb car) is really necessary for day to day driving. 250hp is more than enough to speed me by that buick going 20 under the speed limit before the lane ends...and it'll look good doing it.
Now if they try to stick the 2.7 liter in. . . that's a different story. . . .
You bring up a good point too. I'll have my challenger and if I ever feel I need more power someday I can put a bigger engine in it if I've got the money.
