Weight Difference of Dodge Challenger?

[HIGH_HEMI]

About 4,200 lbs. But oh, so comfortable and fast.

So I guess the Challenger could end up being around 3600 - 3700lbs

With the estimated power figures the car should move

Since it is being guesstimated that it should compete with the GT500 or whatever, they will need to make some metal changes for weight. Is the present SRT8 aluminum? Anyone know what the 392 is made of? Lighter frame, motor, tranny, rearend....make it light but enough weight to be driveable at 200mph.

They need to stop making so-called "performance cars" that weigh nearly 4000 pounds(GTO, Charger). If the new Challenger comes to be, looks similar to the concept, and weighs in at 34-3500 pounds I might buy one.

Wasn't it a 400-600 weight drop of the charger?

The R/T is 4,100 even. The SRT8 is 4,160.
