6.1 is old tech at this point. It is not efficient enough and would cause the R/T to get hit with a gas guzzler tax. The 5.7 is underrated anyways. Also I don't really get the whole it has to compete with the GT500, it is still considerably cheaper than the GT500 and with the new 6.4 will off an interesting middle ground between the 5.0/R/T/SS and the GT500, especially as the 11 GT500 has picked up a decent price increase..
