Well my srt with a 6 spd 09 model gets 26-28 all day long if you keep your foot out of it, but still got hammered with a BS gas guz tax. On auto yes, but the sticks get great mPG, have no and have talked to over 50 guys same results.
Yep it will not have a gas tax per my source, is rated at 23-24 like a stang GT v8 so will just make it.
Should handle and run better overall stock, but the intake is the ugly plastic stuff, elect steering and more etc.
Nice car, but we will see on the 6 speed in mid 2011, same issue as the 1st SRTs in 08.
To bad it did not come out with 500-525 hp rating, but is a good torque rating. Should be decent for a heavy car!
I still like the Hurst Blown models better, and Mopar before the BK was suppose to offer a blown version with over 500hp to the rear wheels and a factory warranty on the power train to boot, but that all went bye bye with the BK
More colors will be out after the 1st limited models.
I was told this will be the new power plant for an srt, so i am sure a 6 speed to follow, then in 2010 the Challenger unless a major re-work will be end of life.
PS there is and was a LY smaller platform for the Charger/300/ Challenger in the works.
That is really where it is at and the car would weigh like 3500-3600 compared to 4070.
