If they can keep the weight of this Challenger under 3600 lbs, then perhaps a V6 wouldn't bee too bad.

If it's built on the same chassis as the heavy arse Magnum, 300c, and Charger...I don't hold too much hope.

Again, you're comparing to a lightweight (somewhat) V6 Mustang.

Hell, I don't really care either way. They can put a four-banger in the base; I'm sure someone will buy it.

Look at the current sales of the 300c and Charger. WAY MORE are sold w/the 5.7L (don't include rental fleets).
