Weight Difference of Dodge Challenger?
Since this is built on the modified LX platform (some are calling it the LY platform) -- what type of weight savings should we expect to see on the Dodge Challenger over that of say, the Dodge Charger?
Anyone want to venture a guess?

Re: Weight Difference of Dodge Challenger?
Don't know about weight savings but my '70 tips the scale at about 3200. I hope they keep it in that ballpark, BUT I haven't got 425hp in my '70 either!!!
Sidenote; Thanks ekool for this new forum

Re: Weight Difference of Dodge Challenger?
If they have the Challenger at 3200...man, oh man..it would tear most everything out there a new porthole! Whether is has the 6.1L or 6.4L. Would love to have the 6.4L option!

Re: Weight Difference of Dodge Challenger?
Last I heard( this from dodge eng.) was they were looking for a 400-500 lbs drop on the next gen platform..parts that were made in steel ( on this platform) would be made in aluminum on the LY...more parts sharing with mercedes should keep costs down and would allow the Challenger to compete with Rustang...

3200 ....considering the teeny lil Solstice is like almost 2900 lbs no way will the Challenger get any place close to that.
