RE: Weighty Challenger?
2005 Chrysler 300 Specifications as Tested
Model Tested MSRP Chrysler 300C ($32,370)
Standard Equipment 5.7-liter V8 Hemi engine, 5-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick, 18-inch wheels; leather seats and trim with tortoise shell accents; foglights; heated front seats; 8-way power driver's seat; power front passenger seat; dual zone automatic climate control; electronic vehicle information center; power windows, door locks and mirrors; performance brakes; traction control
Destination Charge 625
Options as Tested (MSRP)
Gas Guzzler Tax
Price as Tested 32995
Layout rear-wheel drive
Horse Power 340 @ 5000
Torque 390 @ 4000
Fuel Economy 17/25
Wheelbase 120
Length/Width/Height 196.8/74.1/58.4

Ground Clearance 5.6
Curb Weight 4046
Stock Tires P225/60R18 self-sealing
Brakes Front/Rear vented disc/solid disc with ABS and Brake Assist
Fuel Capacity 19
The old 300C loaded up with all the options weighs in at 4046 pounds
As 1 Mad Mirada points out, the Challenger concept weight is 4160. However the new, shorter LY platform hopefully will lose some weight. I hope the Chrysler engineers are putting the Challenger concept on the "Jenny Craig" diet before she is unveiled to the Mopar enthusiasts.
I'm cheering for a sub 4000 pound Challenger. They gotta be able to slough off at least 46 pounds on the above-tested 300C production vehicle.
