It will be very interesting to see how they price it. Will the 6.1L 425hp hemi be the R/T or the SRT? I'm thinking they'll have to do something more with the SRT if they want to match the Shelby. Possible V10?

the challenger is the best looking retro muscle car concept i've seen yet. I hope they dont butcher it when they make the production model.

Hopefully they will be able to keep the weight under 4000 lbs. Preliminary figures don't look to promising at around 2 tons.

Just wondering if they are planning to incorporate the cylinder control into this vehicle.

Don't they have them on their other "hemi" vehicles to save gas

Might be a huge selling point

No MDS (cylinder control) on the 6.1 liter motors. Only the 5.7's have it.

Not to change the subject, but what is up with that station wagon looking dodge, the chop top car whatever its called? Every time i see one there hauling down the fwy at like a hundred miles an hour.

That is a Magnum. If there were such a thing as a manly wagon this is it. Comes with the 425HP 6.1 liter Hemi as an option as well.
