What I believe is trying to be avoided is cars sitting like the viper did or in GM's case the z/28 which currently is sitting in may lots collecting dust.

So it's the new interior that will push sales? Up until now, people have purchased the Mustang and Camaro over the Challenger because of the interior??

Seeing as how the average transaction prices for GM and FoMoCo are considerably closer to the respective prices of those three vehicles vs the ATP for Chrysler and the asking price for the Hellokitty, said vehicles are more attainable than the Hellokitty is for a Dodge shopper. E for effort though.

You still didn't answer my question. What makes this different than the SRT Core models that were supposed to cater to enthusiasts (offering a stripped down performance Challenger without the bells and whistles)? They didn't sell, and Dodge nixed them.

I'm perfectly ok with Dodge building niche cars for hot rodders...let GM build more V6 Camaros for everyone else.

Hot rodders build their own cars.

$35k'ish would be kick ass especially after listening to the vid of Richard Rawlings showing off its "factory dumps" sure it wont be as quick as the 8 speed auto but I will have more fun with the exhaust barking, popping and blurbling every time I shift and can go WOT more often without the risk of speeding. Plus there would be less chance of me getting bored with it especially when taking it to the track. With a (485hp)manual you can always improve on something vs mashing the gas and keeping in straight. I do want to wait and see how the lighter weight 'cuda turns out.

The most reasonable and informative response I have seen yet. Thank you.

In many ways the 392 R/T "Scat Pack" get most of the old SRT 8 technology. The new SRT gets a lot of the Hellcat technology

I wasn't asking about the R/T vs SRT, I was asking how the R/T shatpack is supposed to improve sales over the failed "SRT Core" models that Dodge launched in 2013 and discontinued in 2014.

They HAVE to pile cash on the hood, just to make ends. Dodge is -3.8% YOY and getting outsold by Jeep.
