First of all, the car is a CHALLENGER, not a "Chally." Absolutely NOBODY who had one of the 1970-1974 models EVER drove a "Chally." The new cars cost considerably more than the original models, so please give the new cars the respect they, too, deserve. Also, this is America, not England. We watch televisions and drive Challengers, not "tellys" and "Challys."


Seriously, the concern over the weight arises from its affect on performance. A heavier car, logically, can't run as fast as a lighter car (assuming both have similar engines). In the case of the V-6, which you probably want for gas mileage (in addition to keeping your insurance rates down), the heavier the car, the harder the engine has to work -- which would cut your gas mileage.
