The
forum Challengertalk.com is an online community
dedicated to seeing the Challenger Concept make the short jump from auto show exhibit to showroom floor. The community
has been lucky enough to be chosen by Chrysler to participate in some polls that allows the manufacturer to gauge which
drivetrains and options might be most popular on the production version of the muscle car concept.
The first
poll asks the forum’s members to choose which powertrain they would purchase, and the options range from an
underwhelming 250-hp V6 with a 6-speed manual to a fire breathing 425-hp, V8 HEMI with a 6-speed manual. The latter is
estimated to cost about $3000 above a base V6 manual, which we think is a steal.
What’s more
interesting is a follow-up poll for those members who chose a powertrain with a manual tranny. It asks whether or not
you would still purchase a Challenger if a 6-speed manual were not offered. About 55 percent say they would, but a
not-to-be-ignored 45 percent say they wouldn’t.
Only registered forum members can vote in the polls,
