Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 Forum - View Single Post - The Challenger might not pack all that much of a bite

I posted a couple of times were I saw in the new 2008 car buying guide from Motortrend that the new Challenger would only have a 5.7L hemi and the 6.1L hemi from the SRT-8s.

That means the Challenger will only have 340hp and 425hp respectively. From a 4000lb car that is going to be quick, but not anything mind blowing.

Here is an article that seems to back up my claim.

That means that the possible LS3 Camaro will have comparable power output, but most likely a better power to weight ratio.

I think that also means that the people buying Challengers will be the ones who are those who have a particular attachment or loyalty to dodge or challengers.
