RE: Supercharging the new Challenger
No beater. The wife and I ride share her SUV. The Solara is a once a month maybe, car show, or once in awhile race car only. Not sure what it's status will be when I get my Challenger. If the daughter does well in college I may make it a gift to her.

RE: Supercharging the new Challenger
I was talking about production engines. I know what small displacement supercharged cars are capable of and it's amazing. I'm just saying from a production stand point DCX would just be better off putting the 6.4 in the Challenger for the simple solution to the GT 500. Aftermarket, yeah it's going to be a free for all so to speak if you can afford it!

Man I hate to burst your bubble but I got a SC V6 that just plain eats V8 and they carry the displacement advantage..

RE: Supercharging the new Challenger
Sure you are always going to find V-6 engines faster than a V-8.
Everything else being equal......nothing compares to large displacment/forced induction engines.

Although, I agree that they should drop the 6.4L in the Challenger. Their is something they could do to the 6.1L that would offer just enough extra hp and torque that could defeat the GT500. If they add Dual-VVT they could boost it at least 20 hp and considering how close the two cars numbers already are, that might be all it needs not to mention that the Dual-VVT helps the engine offer a more consistent flow of hp and torque throughout the whole range. Another thing to think about is how long the GT500 is going to go before it breaks down. I have doubts that the GT500 will be trouble free. If GM can't make their 3.8L 12 valve OHV completely unaffected by a supercharger in terms of quality (NA the 3.8L is bulletproof) then how can Ford make their 5.4L 32 valve DOHC completely trouble free with a supercharger when the 5.4L hasn't had a perfect history in terms of quality.

I was just thinking simple solution, and as far as VVT, I don't know they will be willing to go to that expense. Remember that WE will be paying for any new bells and whistles. Existing technology is less expensive and would still blow the 500 in the weeds.
