I'm just happy. I'm hoping this means ChryCo is returning to its pants on head retarded "why the berkeley not" mentality.

This. For some reason the Challenger struck me as stupid, but four doors makes it massively lulzy. Sorta like a CTSV. Plus i actually REALLY like the way the current Charger looks. It's like when Mazda stuffed the turbo engine in the 3, threw it over the fence and said "let's see what THIS does". I love it when E36 M3 like that happens.

Could you imagine if they could figure out a way to keep the AWD in the SRT Cherokee from snapping the second you got on the gas with a hellcat engine? It'd be hilarious.

I'm still pining for an SRT Dart though. Hell, build the hell out of the 2.4 or whatever they plan on using and call it the Hellkitten for E36 M3's and giggles.

I has driven it (Challenger, not Charger)

But not fast. But that car idles GREAT!! Lumpy, grumpy, like a old man that woke up at 3 AM ticked off that he has to take a wizz. What a glorious sound!

I'm thinking more like 71 Newport. Not saying they aren't great cars (I want one) but I want the one that's been banned from demo derbies for being TOO big. And I want all the power. Because I like two things. Little stupid japanese cars, and GIGANTIC american cars.

I'm pretty sure C bodies of any stripe are banned from derbies.

Continuing the ridiculous line of thought though: 300H, the H now stands for Hellcat.

Interesting comment at the bottom. Kinda echos some of what's come up here in the past.

If I had a nickel for every false proffer that someone would be 'more interested' or otherwise more likely to buy a car if it had a manual transmission... Nonsense. You wouldnt enjoy owning a car like this with a manual one bit more if it was offered. Nor are you more likely to buy one. I suppose someone will say they would also be more excited if Dodge would offer this in a wagon bodystyle and with AWD, and next someone will suggest they'd be more impressed and even put a deposit down, if the 707 horsepower were miraculously achieved with diesel fuel. (probably someone whining it should and could cost $35k or less, too) Gimme a break, AB and other message board junkies. You're all full of hot air at best when this topic comes up. I wish AOL would install a filter to block comments lamenting a lack of MT... I'd love to see actual stats on how many new cars with MT that people who say that actually have bought. Oh yeah, only about 5% probably, because that's twice what the actual market indicates

I think you're right, I know Imperials are for sure.

Also- plus 1000 million to the 300H content.

In reply to mapper:

Considering the Challenger is supposed to have the option of 8 speed auto or beefed up 6 speed stick, the Charger might as well.

I'd probably still grab the auto for that thing.
