This is "deja vu all over again".

Muscle cars, $100/barrel oil, and government environmentalists has me thinking I'm reliving the 1970's.

I'll wager that the new Camaro quickly succumbs to the Chevy Aveo platform - a "SS Avamaro" with racing stripes.]]>Nov 26th 2007 11:10AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/
With Flex manufacturing and platform sharing the Challenger is at least something that can be sustained at low volumes. Something they didn't have in the 70's.]]>Nov 26th 2007 12:18PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/Nov 26th 2007 11:11AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/Nov 26th 2007 11:47AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/Nov 26th 2007 11:14AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/
Chrysler expects the Challenger to be a big hit and with the Magnum gone that means the plant can produce more Challengers to meet anticipated demand.

There's no question this car is hot. I've also heard they will eventually offer a more poweful HEMI for the SRT-8 in 2009 or later.]]>Nov 26th 2007 11:16AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/
It bugs me that this is replacing the Magnum. In base form, the Magnum was still being bought in reasonable numbers by normal people and was hamstrung only by it's poor power in base form. Equipped with the diesel from the CRD Liberty, could have solved the power/performance problem that dogged the 2.7L.

This car will be bought by a few enthusiasts at first, fight over a shrinking share of the market with the Camaro and Mustang, then will sit on dealer lots for months, followed by much hand-wringing by execs and analysts.

Meanwhile, the Magnum is departing a niche that it had pretty much all to itself. ]]>Nov 26th 2007 1:57PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/Nov 26th 2007 11:18AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/Nov 26th 2007 12:21PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/Nov 26th 2007 3:43PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/Nov 26th 2007 11:27AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/Nov 26th 2007 11:31AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/Nov 26th 2007 11:32AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/Nov 26th 2007 7:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/
On the other hand, the car is really hot. ]]>Nov 26th 2007 11:36AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/details-on-dodge-challenger-drivetrains/4 speed auto & 3.5. I'd like to see if that is going to be as fast the up powered 168hp VW golf 6 speed auto.
Why does the bigger hemi have shorter gearing? Are they catering to the market that doesn't know how to shift gears? [say roll on, 5.7 in 5th, 6.1 in 6th, I'd give the edge to the 5.7. 5.7 in 4th in the auto, 6.1 in 5th, again I'd side with the 5.7]
Well at least they might give you 9" wheels so you can try fitting 275/40 20 tires]]>Nov 26th 2007 11:36AM
