But I totally agree with you. Dodge could have used the LY platform and put the 6.4 l hemi which would have resulted in lighter weight. But they had recently sold the company and as a business, I understand why they used the existing platform and used parts from the charger for the interior. It saves money and makes them more money. The 6 speed tremec should make the challenger perform great and give the camaro the challenge it is looking for.
Hopefully by 2010 Dodge will use the LY platform along with revamped engines (6.4) just as their doing with the new 5.7 with mds and 375 hp manual transmission.

Sorry about the Troll vibe I gave off earlier.

Quite alright, I apolagise if I offended you.

I hope you're right about those changes. I'm all for competition.
