Can anbody validate this tidmit I read on the Internet “As of yesterday (Feb. 9), Challenger was given a “go” by management. Model year unknown. 6.1 liter Hemi and 6-speed manual transmission only.”

 

Can't verify but you just made my heart skip a beat! And then stupid me reads the top of the forums page and sees that it's true! We need more info and we need it now!

 

i was told by an employee, whose indentity i obviously cannot reveal....but evidently it is all over the internet as well...

 

So we can take this news as being "confirmed"?

 

the problem is that all of the sources that i have read are "inside sources"...no official statements...what i dont understand is why dodge went to the trouble to ask all of those poll questions to only make a 6.1/M6

 

Unless the rumor that the first years production would be exclusively the 6.1 six speed of 10,000 units is true. I think that if DCX does this it will be a mistake on their part because that will not reflect the true market potential of this vehicle. It will turn many away in search for a more affordable alternative unless they surprise us and offer it at a LOW price which would take too many sales away from the SRT lineup. So a low price on this particular one is not likely. We can only hope that they produce it to attract a wider consumer base than this one model will appeal to. There really should be a 5.7 option introduced along with the 6.1. Time will tell I guess? I'm sure hoping they won't screw this up though. ARE YOU LISTENING DCX? There are a lot of loyal DODGE people counting on you to get this right!

 

Alright! Houston we have ignition...in 10-9-8- (I really wish we had a time frame though, it would make the countdown alot easier!)

 

Sorry deranged, I didn't mean to give you a heart attack. I posted that news yesterday and www.dodgechallenger.com didn't officially post it until this morning at 10:00am

 

i was busy...my apologizes on posting it...

 

Good news but this sounds a lot like the limited production info rumor I heard but DCX would not confirm.


UPDATE!!

FYI from the net.
