I've been really wrestling with what I'm going to be satisfied with regarding the options on the Challenger. I've been reading that DCX will make somewhere between 30,000 and 50,000 Challys this year, of which 3000 will be the SRT's. Now does this mean that only the SRT's will get the 6.1 engine with the six speed? Will the R/T have the 5.7 and the 6.1 and the 6 speed as an option? I hope so because that's what I want. However if the SRT is the only way to get the 6.1 and 6 speed and being that there will be only 3000 of them, then that makes it highly unlikely that I'll be getting one. Hell, they're making 10,000 Shelbys this year and look at those price mark-ups. If all the other Challys are 5.7 with autosticks and maybe 5 speed MT's, then I'm really going to have to consider not getting a Chally this year and hope to get one next year (if I haven't bought something else). I may go for the 5.7 R/T with a 5 speed MT but I THINK i'll be dissapointed and that's really not the way to buy a new car.

What are your thoughts?
