That's because we had a goverment in there in recent years that "didn't pass severe restrictions" on all the auto manufactures to meet their demands,oil related or not (like the "liberals will do" when they pass impossible restictions and penalties)...but wait, as the tide is changing,as I have mentioned in my other post!
Like I said, I don't want to talk politics,...live for today,...and compete for today!!! Because the "so called brighter tomorrows in the retro muscle car gas fueled market,..might not allow the same opportunities,...they may be more "alternative in nature"...fuel,styling,mileage and emission restictions,liberal goverment,less hp,etc.
...I just hope that allpars source was wrong with only one option,....don't get me wrong,if that was the only choice than soo be it,..as I would and want the new concept challenger to be built,...however,..there is alot smarter ways of doing this, and stay competitive in the pony and hp muscle car war, and have great sales!!
