Put a Chevy engine in a Dodge vehicle? Blashphamy! Actually, a big solution would be to get rid of all that weight. I don't buy the whole safety standards are increasing the weight because Ford and Chevy don't have an issue with it. I'm sure it has to do with the platform that they used. The Charger and 300C aren't light cars and that's what this is based off of. I can't blame them for that since that is what they had to work with, unless they wanted to used the Caliber, but it is still a shame that it weighs so much. Great power, heavy car.
