Give it time, CHallenger is going to a different platform for 15, though at this point it will still be the same size and probably weight, but will be getting that SCed Hemi and will finally be able to use the 8 speed auto. THe Cuda should appear eventually on a much smaller and lighter platform that will be shared with Alfa and could even spawn a RWD sedan replacement for the Avenger. I do hate the fact that manufacturers think they need to hold cars back to protect other cars that really have nothing to do with each other. Honestly, if the Challenger has the same HP as the Viper it is still going to be slower because of weight and really who is crossshopping them? Same with the Viper and Ferrari, who would cross shop them? Also that it happens with Camaro/Vette to. It would have been awesome if GM would offer at least a version of the ZL1 with the full on LS9 to really chomp at the GT500.
