Re: Challenger Powertrain Question - Part 1 - Choose your Powertrain

Correct...To which I would add: How many of you would spring for the 425HP version if gas gets to, say, $4.00/Gallon? How about $5.00?

Think it can't happen? We're not building any more Refineries, OK'ing any new Oil/Natural Gas Leases, and, the Chinese are gobbling up Oil like Beer at a Frat Party. The Liberals won't ok new Oil Production in this Country.

I'll bet D/C has a few 4.7 L Hemis with Cyl Deactivation in test mules at this very minute on test tracks. If push came to shove, I would drive a new Challenger with one of those...
