COUNT ME IN ON A V6 & AUTO!!!!!

I hate to disagree with everyone on the thread so far, but I will buy a V6 model if they make one. Also, I prefer an Auto Tranny. I am currently in Iraq. Meanwhile saving up money to purchase a "Daily Driver" car when I get out of the Army. Which at time of post is another 20 months.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY.... GOD BLESS YOU ALL...

Your logic is good logic, especially for you & others like you who will want to BUILD or radically customize their own car... Like I have said if an only if, in my case a 5.7-V8 were not available at a reasonable price, would I even consider a V6, and then if it were a 325 to 350hp range with higher V8 like torq...In that case it would probably have to be a Turbo-V6 in the same vain as the 1980s Buick Grand-Nationals or GNX...

This would be an OK choice for me, but NOT what I truly would have liked. I am a V8 person and I am like alot of buyers who as much as I'd love to build/swap out engines, do not have the time or expendable cash to have it done. Also am one of those kind of guys who will only do very minor mods to his car wanting to keep it near stock...So, if Dodge does not make a reasonably priced V8, then people like myself will probalby end up buying a base model V8-Mustang-GT, or will end up waiting in hopes that in a few years after the Challengers release that they get very lucky and find a well taken care of higher mileage USED 2-3 year old V8-Challenger at a price they can afford...

The idea of a V6 for someone like you, who will want to do an engine swap, is perfectly logical...
My son is 21 and a mechanic in the Air Force and if he were into the Challenger, he'd want to do the exact thing you are planning to do except he'd probably want the 6.4-V8 Hemi knowing him...

Thanks again for your service & keep up the GREAT work...
May God Bless & protect you and your buddies....
