The hemi is one very inexpensive engine... but 28K does seem low

Even if it was the 5.7L Hemi instead of the 6.1L for $28k I'd buy one

Back in the 1960s, Hemi was only $700 option.

Wondering how much that $700 is in today's prices when adjusted for inflation. Anyone?

Well, at least these guys have a better pic of the front end...



But there's NO WAY you'll get the 425 horse variant for $28K.

The headline doesn't actually say that either. It says a Charger is available for only $28K...doesn't mean that's the 425 horse version.

I say be around $38,000.00 to $40,000.00 for RT Hemi

Depends on which R/T - 5.7L or 6.1L. I don't think Challenger 5.7L will be more expensive than 300C, so around $33,000.

^good point

and im pretty derned sure 425hp is not happning for under $40K. its just.. not lol.

i hope that it isnt going to be just some limited production overpriced halo car that hardly anyone will ever see or drive. i'd love for this to actually be in the same price/power range as the stang, and for it to be a direct competitor. frankly, there arent many direct competitors with the stang right now. 350Z/G35 maybe, GTO almost, but still too much $$, RX8s close but not nearly powerful enough.

right now the mustang is pretty much dominating the market for sporty coupes is it not? you would think DCX would want a chunk of that market for themselves, not just make 10000 cars and end it. if this becomes a direct stang competitor ill be so happy. who knows, i may someday buy one (i hope)
