�The look of the car is a big part of its appeal, and people will be happy to have that for just over $20,000,� he said. That rough price refers to the base SE trim level; the SRT8 stickers for $37,320.

good article with lots of pics http://www.egmcartech.com/2008/03/25/2009-dodge-challenger-v6-to-account-for-40-of-challegner-sales/

Can't argue with that logic. If I were to buy one it would probably be a V6 between the price difference and the gas mileage, it's th eonly choice that makes sense for someone on a budget. Plus, at 250 NET bhp, it has more power than as an gen 1 340 car.

I'm about to order one Black V6.

Been thinking ALOT about this... I'll pay it off almost two yrs earlier. And drive it twice as much because of gas. I'm buying this car to drive.... EVERYWHERE! What would you do? Robert.

Personally, I'll probably go for the R/T when it comes out. The V6 will NOT be available with stick, and I want that. I currently own an SRT-8 Charger. More power than I really need for sitting in traffic on the way to work. I think the R/T will have plenty of power, especially since it will have 30 more horses than the current Charger R/T.

BTW this article says the V6 will get 18/25 MPG. That isn't very impressive. I get 16/23 with my SRT-8 Charger. Not much better on the gas, although you can use 87 octane with the V6 and 89 with the 5.7, where I have to use 91.

The new Challenger also weighs more, so I wouldnt expect the V6 to be quicker than a 1st gen 340 Challenger. Go with the R/T, especially if that reported V6 mileage is correct. The amount of additional money it takes to fill the tank is well worth filling your soul with a 370 Horse Hemi mated to a 5-speed.

Yup, I agree... My bro. has decided we should get one!!

A used R/Twill be mine someday! Now I'm really getting excited! How long till' we see the used ones?
