New challenger

I'm wondering what drivetrain combos will be offered. If it is a strictly a 392 project, this car will end up pricing itself out of most of our budgets upwards of $45k.

In order for the proposed Barracuda to be competitive, it will need to weigh in the neighborhood of 3,500 - 3,600 lbs. It will need to have a 5.7 Hemi offering upwards of 450 HP. Allof this for around $30k. By 2016, Ford will be offering a new, lighter platform for the Mustang. The 5.0 is already at 420 HP. It is around 3,600 lbs. Currently, the 5.0 Mustang is the one to beat. If Chrysler is serious about competing here, the new Barracuda needs to be light, powerful AND inexpensive. If Chrysler makes this happen, I will trade my 5.0 in for one.
