I do think the 6.4 will be a good option if it gets at least 500 HP. Since it will also be used in the CHarger, 300, and the HD trucks there shouldn't be much of a price increase which should give it a 7-8k price advantage over a GT500 or Z28. THis could get very interesting folks! What a great time to be a car lover!!!!!!
That's the problem with any car that shares a platform with a family or luxury sedan. Same with the Camaro. It is easy to shed weight but when your sharing parts and materials it is more cost effective to just leave it and build what you can. I think when the Chally weighs thatmuch you need to do more than 500HP which it might. But it should get interesting it would be nice if Dodge did join our party!
