The 6.4 crate engine will be a production engine for 09. You heard it here first!

 

We posted that information, before but actually had heard it might be a 6.5L for 2009.5.

Wowsers!
What would I even do with that much power?
425 hp has a nice ring to it, but why would you want 500+ hp?

 

will it be stick or auto..... if its auto ill wait for it.... if not ill just drop a storker in my 08 and it will be the same thing without the price gauge

 

I have to say the price of the car won't bother me as much as gas prices to keep the 6.1L fed.

Getting a fully decked out RT with a 5.7L /VCT may make more sense for me - since I want to keep the Challenger a long long time and put a lot of miles on it. Especially if Chrysler keeps there lifetime warranty program running. If I want more power from the 5.7L there are plenty of options available...

Of course I'd change my mind in a heartbeat if I could get a bigger motor with VCT

 

The same you would do with 425hp, flog the gas pedal regularly and make all 500 of those horses pull at maximum pace. For me there isn't a cap on how much power a car should have available. The more the merrier.

LordFoul, I can definitely see your point. The Lifetime Warranty is very tempting as long as you intend to keep it pretty much stock. I think the VCT will find its way into the other HEMIs as it helps the fuel economy, power, and emissions. It wouldn't make sense not to extend it.

 

I changed my mind. I'm gonna get the biggest engine available.
I wanna live large and rule the road like King Kong.

 

For model year 2009, ain't gonna happen...

 

I agree, there will be no 6.4 in 2009. Dodge has ben having problems getting it to work with MDS. Look for a 6.4 or a new 6.5 in 2010.
