24k-40k... wow that really narrows it down, huh?! And just how did they figure it had the 6.1L and the T56...

All joking aside, the Challenger is hitting all the mags and most covers... Look out for the March (Feb.) issue of MPH mag...

Maybe the $24k is for a base V6 model?? They would have to make them very affordable and the best way to do that is to offer a V6 as a base model.
I mean i would love to get the 5.7 or 6.1 for under $30k but i doubt thats gonna happen...

I HOPE THEY DO NOT MAKE MANY VERSIONS OF THE CHALLENGER,WHAT A WASTE OF A GREAT NEW CAR TO F IT UP BY STICKING A V6 IN IT ,OR MAKEING SO MANY IE VARIOUS TRIM LEVELS, JUST TO MAKE THE PRICE AFFORDABLE SO EVERYONE CAN HAVE ONE .I DONT THINK IT SHOULD BE PRODUCED LIKE THE MUSTANG,AND FLOOD THE MARKET WITH THEM.I HOPE DODGE KEEPS IT SPECIAL,LIMITED EDITION 6.1 LITER ENGINE,3 OR 4 COLORS TO CHOOSE FROM,MAYBE 10000 PRODUCED A YEAR?ILL BET IT WOULD SELL FOR 35 TO 40K. IF THERE NOT MASS PRODUCED WONT THEY HOLD THERE VALUE BETTER? SOMETIMES YOU CANT HAVE EVERYTHING NOW!!! SAVE YOUR PENNYS SAVE FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL.

Not me. I hope they make one that is very affordable. I would not mind parking in a lot full of them. If you want it to stay around you have to sell alot of them.I have read many good reports of people who are buying the v6 in the Chargers and 300. Let them loose and dominate in numbers

like Ive been saying that 3.5L can hold its own. i mean my 2.7L intrepid keeps up with the 3.8L mustangs. the 3.5L has 50 hp and a better power curve then my 2.7L

Thats what I am sying, If you put like $35+ on the thing you are going to have another GTO on your hands. Let us say someone buys a v6 likes the car but wants more power, Hello. Here is a HEMI, thanks for the trade in.

Dude my 2.0L can keep up with the 3.8L mustangs, lol...but i agree that the 3.5L is a good engine and wouldnt be a bad base model at all, but having that HEMI under the hood is always way better!
