Default RE: REPORT: 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 not sold out, but bring your wallet

ORIGINAL: Carbon


Sweet, that is the version I've been waiting for!!
anyone know what the MPG on that motor is?
It's probably the same that is in the Charger and the 300c
Not quite.
The current 5.7 HEMI in the Charger/300/Magnum is MDS only. The refreshed motor/engine will have VVT.......manual will NOT have MDS, but the autostick WILL have MDS on this engine.
The auto should be comparable (if not a slight bit better) MPG to the current 5.7L auto MDS drivetrain. Manual trannys should see a slight drop in MPG - slight. The 6th gear should help overcome most of the loss of MDS if driven with economy in mind.
