The correct URL would be:

And yes, they are just another tuner in the end.

ACR-X isn't street legal. ACR-X still has the same basic engine as the regular ACR. My point is correct.

They are irrational people.
Then you surely couldnt be referring to me. I dont own a Challenger, and if I were to buy another vehicle, a Challenger would probably be 3rd or 4th on my list to get. With a C6 ZO6 (CHEVY) being 1st and the new 5.0 being 2nd. Also the Challenger and any Dodge product is FAR from being perfect just like any other manufacturers product.

Me stating that the POSSIBLE SRT10 Challenger will be superior to the Z28 and GT500 is almost pure fact. It all boils down to HP/WT ratio with traction being the main limiting factor. Do the math for a 600hp 4140lb car compared to the others and you will see what I'm talking about.

that's what you would hope sicne the ram version cost 50 something when it was released. BUT this year there is no viper so they could take advantage of it and price it at 80-90k.....which would blow :(

Looks good, but I would really prefer to see a Supercharged and forged 392. That would be the perfect match for the Challenger, and would sound much better than the Viper motor.

I think the new 6.4 is as new as it gets for at least 2 years. JMO

I don't understand what the target demographic is here...Why have essentially 4 different engine choices when Ford and Chevy get by with 3?

You lack reading skills. This car will not be built. If it was built, it would be built by a 3rd party that removes factory parts and adds their own. There is 0% chance this will be built on a Dodge assembly line like the other cars you keep mentioning.

A 2008+ 8.4L Viper V10 costs about $26,000 from Dodge, so add that and atleast $5,000(lowball) to the install into your SRT-8.

Im going to speculate and say there will be a limited run of V10 powered Challengers that will give it a 0-60 in the 3.9 range. This will be the 7th engine combo in the lineup which a good source has stated there will be 7. This is a very doable vehicle for Chrysler to make, all the parts are there, and it has had a TON of interest. We will see.

Ok, here is a question, what is the 6th engine? We have the Pentastar 3.6 V6, 5.7 MDS, 5.7 non MDS, 6.4 MDS, and 6.4 nonMDS. I am counting 5, if there are going to be 7 engines, then we are actually short 2.
