I disagree the Ram srt-10 sold 3,059 units in 2004 4,097 in 2005 and 2,373 in 2006 Which is WAY more than 200-300 and that was for a truck. If they put it in a real performance oriented car such as the Challenger those numbers would rise and that would affect their CAFE. Chryslers MPG's are already the worst of them all so they need raise that a lot or they'll be in trouble. I'm not saying the idea is impossible but it's not at the top of their priority list. Their is a reason why the Z28 isn't out yet. Because GM needed to focus on the important things first then once they get some positive cash flow they can spend money on lower volume products.
As for the article what I was trying to say was that if they are in fact just re skinning the alpha then there's a good chance the V10 you're talking about won't even exist. There was talk in the past of the last gen Viper switching to a V8 so since FIAT is running the show they might just use one of their existing engines. That is of coarse unless Dodge has something already well into development. Who the hell knows. Either way I can't afford it.
So I guess all we can do is sit back have a drink and wait and see.
