I've got the fuel economy on ignore and I'm looking at the ponies. Better yet &gt; 600 HP gets my vote.

I voted for 600HP but I would prefer it have VVT because with that kind of horsepower it would be very rough idling at a red light.

Ditto on that. If we are not considering fuel economy, insurance, initial cost, or anything along those lines, why would anyone vote for anything besides 600hp? I think what you are wanting to ask 2008challengerdreams, is what engine output instead of displacement. Displacement is how many liters or cubic inches an engine is (such as a 6.4L/392 cubic inch). 600hp is the engine output.

I voted for 425hp, since there wasn't an option for 350hp. I will mostly likely get the 5.7L, not just due to the fuel economy. I already have my 70 challenger that I want to build to be a monsterous motor. I would use it as my daily driver, and don't need any more hp than 400. That just my opinion. But everyone know how it goes, you always want more, once you start modding it.

I had to stay in reality and vote for the 475. 600 hp would be what I would want, but in reality there is no way it would go over the Viper unfortunately. 475 seems like a nice number, though I would have voted for 500, only because I always want to consider the weight of the car to the hp ratio. What is it going to take to get this beast off the line and moving fast?
