I was wondering about the 3.2 replacing the 3.6. Would the 3.2 be rated around 288HP or so?
I think it is supposed to be 300-350 lbs lighter on the LA platform...jerseyjoe said:Any talk about making the Challenger lighter? Mustang has 305 HP manual and Camaro 323 HP, not sure about the trans.
By the time Challenger comes out, it will be still heavy compared to the current Mustang and Camaro:guyver[this word has been banned due to its use as a pointless flame tool said:y]

I would expect that the 3.6L will continue...dakrt99 said:Wait, what . . . they are ditching the 3.6 for the lame 3.2? How does anyone "KNOW" this.
Lame 3.2?dakrt99 said:Can't wait for the new Challengers.

I agree! I really like the 24 head light design!srtviperam said:I don't like what they said about the head lights :thumbsdown:
Cmon the Challenger is a different car, its wider,larger,heavier and of course, its nicer.Mopar392 said:By the time Challenger comes out, it will be still heavy compared to the current Mustang and Camaro:

Mustang is due with a brand new car in MY2015, a new Camaro in MY2016, while the next Challenger won't be till MY2017..
Don't get me wrong, I like Challenger for what it is. But, Lower the horsepower when the competitors are getting lighter and powerful isn't going to help us Moparians..
The new Challenger will be lighter, not as wide, not as large and still nicer...Mr.Source said:Cmon the Challenger is a different car, its wider,larger,heavier and of course, its nicer.
So dont expect to compete with them, Dodge is a different beast.
Who said they are ditching the 3.6? Also just because it makes 271 HP in the Cherokee doesnt mean there arent various power levels, you know kinda like my 200 only has 286 HP and a Challenger has 305. If the car is lighter, the engine is lighter and its paired with the superior 8 speed transmission it will probably be faster, have better acceleration and fuel economy than the outgoing model and make it more competitive with the Mustang and Camaro.dakrt99 said:Can't wait for the new Challengers.
