Any rumors on 2010 6.1 HP/TQ increase?
It would stand to reason the 6.1 would get a re-work given the new 5.7. Anyone hear if this is coming in the 10 SRTs?

Iye wondered the same thing...with the 5.7 up around 390 now *depending on the application* ive figured that the 6.1 will have to get a jump if they want to help justify the price gap from RT to SRT trimlines. Still no word as to what Chrysler is/was doing with the 6.5 liter engine that has seen heavy testing last year, around this time. I thought that the "surprise debut" at SEMA would be something with the challenger, such as a new trimline or package, but it was the new drift car, which is using a sprint car wedge.

Well they better do something soon. No improvement in SRT-8 performance means no Challenger for me, which means likely a 10 Ram and less $$ for Dodge as a truck would only be about 35K vs the SRT over 40.

Are they really going to replace the 6.1 w/ the 6.4?? How much power? The crate engine has what 525hp? THAT would be the Challenger for me!!!

If they kill the Viper they will not keep the engine. So that means no Viper V10 in the Challenger.

i haven't heard anything about changes regarding the 6.1... hell they might get rid of it all together due to the upcoming CAFE requirements (sure they don't take place for a while longer but still people are worrying about them).. where are you guys getting this information about a new 6.4 or 6.5?
