Will I agree that the Challenger is heavy? Yeah. At 4400 lbs it's hardly anything but. The IRS helps with balance, though. That's what struck me odd about the right up on this article. When the Challenger hit the streets the same magazine did a side by side of the SRT8 against the GT500. For the extra horsepower the GT500 has it was just a hair quicker in the quarter, a hair quicker in 0-60 (we're talking less than a tenth here) and got it's *** kicked in the slalom (the Mustang is nose heavy) and braking. Overall ride because of the IRS compared to the three link was better and the same magazine gave the winning points to the SRT8 over the GT500. Now, it's saying the base Mustang GT at 315 horse is a better car than the Challenger R/T? And one of the things that put it over is fuel mileage? Compare fuel mileage on Camrys to Accords to Fusions. No one is buying a V8 pony car to get fuel mileage.
By the way, autoblog and several others have reported that the 6.4L will be replacing the 6.1 in the SRT8 packages, the 6.1 will be in the R/Ts, with the 5.7 being relegated to truck only. But that was reported before the bankruptcy and Obama's meddling with the car companies: ie "you will build only small, fuel sipping death traps no one wants." With Fiat's history in the performance arena (having owned Ferrari back in the 70s and 80s and now owning Lambo) we'll have to wait and see I guess.
And given Obama's mandate that the car companies build "eco-friendly" bull**** cars that the American people have rejected... truck sales are down around 20% while things like the Prius are down 48%, the fed taking a 72% stake in GM does anyone think the Camaro will be more than a one year, two year production run? The Z/28 has already been axed according to Automobile mag.
