Won't happen though. R/T with the 6.1 would get hit with gas guzzler tax, making it even more expensive than it already is. |
R/T is really not overpriced. The base R/T is price right between a base GT and a 1SS, hardly as expnseive as a fully loaded version. A fully loaded R/T runs around 39-40k, same as a GT, of course this includes all options, navi, classic package, etc. The 6.1 is dead after this year. The new 6.4 is actually based on the 5.7. The 6.1 suffers in gas mileage and lacks power for it's price (when it was introduced in 2008 for 38995 it was a screaming deal), Hopefully the 5.7 will see some extra juice for the 11 modelyear. I have speculation of around 400HP, but really nothing even remotely solid yet.
