Hmmmm ? Billions $ here and Billions $ there. I watch as the few real car guys struggle to get products off the ground, Time is short and the Asians are still eating the US auto makers lunch. From a full line auto company Chrysler has become a me too limited business offering aging SUV's, PU...

FIAT failed in the US market because of very poor quality, ask anyone ! Not to mention their styling that only a dog could luv ! What is needed is high volume products that are home runs. What does STLA USA have to offer as far as entry level vehicles ? Does anyone remember how the PT Cruiser...

Personally I would never buy a full size 4 door PU truck but I would seriously consider a compact PU for a second vehicle. It seems that Chrysler NA needs some new thinking for the NA market to get over thinking a compact PU would steal sales from the RAM. But FORD has made a killing with it's...

Egads ! Prices are scary ! I'm enjoying the sun roof on my Scat BUT real T-Tops would be BOSS !

It seems when you build a car on a truck platform you get these number. However the market place has spoken and the EV Charger is dead. Will a 5.7 Hemi V8 power make a sales difference ? I'm sure sales will rise from the dead until performance figures tell the tale ? The Asian fan boys will have...

Recenty STLA floated a $2 Billion$ bond sale which won't go very far. GM spent something like $550 million on a new V-8 engine to production . So $10 Billion would make a big splash !

My previous two Challengers. When the word came down from the Big House the Hemi was going away I bought my present Scat Pack.

Sir, where do you get your weight stats ? I find it hard to believe that the IRON block V-8 Hemi is only 141 lb heavier that the Hurricane I-6 ? Are you factoring in the entire drive line ? When was the last time you made a 1/4 mile pass ? Last time I did 12.5 @110 mph @ Miland Dragway and...

My trusted source states the weight of the EV Charger at 5835 ! Take out the 1000 lb battery leaves 4835 add iron block Hemi, heavy 8 speed trans and running gear. My guess put new weight at 5500 + or - lb ? The Challanger is a MUSCLE car not a Grand Touring Cruiser ! I'm on my THIRD...

When I installed 315x35x20 rear tires on my Scat Pack I had rubbing issues from the side wall. So in went a pair of 5mm = .200" spacers that cured that issue ! But most if not all spacers are alumn. so make sure to paint them 100% to prevent galvanic corrosion. After 5k miles no issues.

Speaking of the 5.7 Hemi, I knew a few fellows who added long tube headers and a tune. They picked up 30+ HP ! I'm sure that the shorty headers that are on the 392 would add much needed breathing to the 5.7 ! But like I stated, getting that over weight Charger to perform is an uphill battle...

Regarding this way over weight and over sized at vehicle 5835 lb in EV trim remember it's built on a STLA truck platform to handle the 1000 lb battery weight. Now take out that battery and add a iron block Hemi, trans, diff and rear suspension, what will the new weight be ? I'm guessing...
