Just FYI the allpar website on the dodge challenger has newlylisted the options and production dates for each engine model and stuff. check it out!

 

"R/T with the second-generation 5.7 Hemi, and the SRT-8. The 2010, to start production in July 2009 - with convertibles starting in early 2009 - will be similar but with SXT and R/T convertibles, and possibly a new 6.4 liter High Output SRT8 option. Finally, the 2011 Challenger will include the 4.0 liter Phoenix engine instead of the 3.5 liter."

Second Gen 5.7L hemi, sounds good, 6.4 HO, sounds great, and I like the fact that they will be replacing the 3.5 with the far superior 4.0.

 

3.5 is a good engine but in a challenger is blasphomy i tell you.

 

holy crap.. the movie with that 392 challenger made me cream my pants.

 

i want to get one...and drop the engine in it tha ti saw in the old school challenger they were rebuilding at dependable dodge near me...over $30,000 spent just on the engine.

 

I'm sure you're gonna be ok with the 6.4 manual with a couple cheap mods...then and there you're faster than the mustang and camero stock. Who needs more than that?
