Dodge Challenger Survey

The 425hp motor already exists in current vehicles, I think the biggest question will be if it will be an add on option to a base Challenger or whether it will be proprietary to an SRT version, which would also tack on the cost of upgraded suspension and all styling, among other things. It could only be $3000 more if it doesn't require getting a special performance version. This is what made musclecars popular in the first place, I wish Ford would do the same with the Mustang. GT originally just got you styling upgrades, now it is the only thing with a V8 and starts around 6 grand higher than a V6. I'd also like to see a motor more upgrade friendly, like the older 5.0s were. Modular is an excellent motor, it's just really expensive and time consuming to do a lot of modifications to. Of course, there's this limiting factor referred to as the EPA...*sigh*

Saturns are pretty beastly, though. A few mods here and there and you'll be cracking 16s before you know it

I keep a spare Saturn in my trunk, in case I need the secondary gas tank.. or a ride to a service station.

The engine I would love to see them put in the Challenger is the 6.4L 500HP engine. With a 6 speed that would be a car that is hard to keep on the road. Hate to hear about many early deaths such that has happened to the Viper.
