Exactly!!!
SRT Dodges $40K and up(6.1),now a poss 6.4???We can only speculate HP #'s,but it most surely be tapping the $50K mark,and again the dealers will be gouging the consumers for mark up's!!!!
I lurked around the new Camaro forum,and saw them having a track thread,and how suprising is it that they are also having tons of members reporting there times not being what they had expected.Testing showed 12.9- 13.1 @ 111.00 in stock form,fastet one I found (stock)was 13.37 @ 105 change.All of these testing affileates sound like they are working with the manufacturers to boost sales!!!! Before I bought my 09 RT 6speed,I watched Edmunds testing video,and they reported 14.1 @108.NOT EVEN CLOSE mph wise!!!!Then they changed it later to 13.8 @ 106 !!!!WTF!!!!
All these high estimated HP #'s and the cars don't run what we all know they should for having that kind of power.Even they(Camaro forum) have said that the 2002 Camaro SS rated at 320 HP,was doing 13.0 ,and honestly have a friend who has one and I can confirm this.All this HP later,what has happened????
To me ,the baddest one of the bunch is the SRT Jeeep GC with their AWD,can 60' like a raped ape and give you a factory 1.7-1.8 resulting in low 13's.When I lurk around their forum,way more avgeraging in the 12's with mere items done.
What I am getting at is they may come out with this 6.4,and tell us a HP #,but for that kind of $$$ to spend again,it better be way into the 12's right out of the box.
What they should do is engineer a motor with lower comp and stick a SC on from the factory and show power like the GT500,and when we do simple mods(pulley for instance)we can "FEEL" the power by the seat of our pants,not just throw it on a dyno and see 7-10 HP from a tuner or CAI.Too many opinions conflicting about mods done on our challys,some say "feels like it added 100 horse!!" and others saying it felt slower.
I know our challys are heavy but,these kind of HP numbers should be pushing these faster than they are reportedly going,IMO,so if a more powerfull motor is needed,then build it!Just make it comparable to other manufacturers, Dollar to HP number.
Did'nt mean to rant,sure it sounded that way.
