As much as we hate to admit it, the Challenger and the Camaro share the same design idea. Shorten a full size sedan platform and tweak it for a sportier feel.

Basically they would have an SRT8 F package and an SRT8 J package just like the R/T has. If they could get the SRT8 F package MSRP down to $35-36k before sales/gas guzzler tax, tags, etc. it could be competitive with the Camaro & Mustang GT.
How about giving an engine upgrade tickbox on the R/T J?
