I am not going to read this whole thread. But most that I did read was negative.
My Prediction:
Current = Current platform Challenger with a Hellephant and weight reduction hopefully a drag focused option including a crate with carbon fiber wheels (unless they come on the car) etc. Carbon fiber Deck lid and hood, carbon ceramic brakes etc.
Interim = Hybrid on the current platform Challenger. RedEye engine with 225 HP pancake motor replacing the Torque Converter. Add a small battery pack. Also with all the weight reduction above to offset the battery weight.
Future = All electric muscle Car on NEW platform. All wheel drive etc.
NOW HERE IS THE KICKER........ALL 3 have over 1000 HP and all 3 run 8.90 in the Quarter mile.
Why all the negativity??? Pick your choice and rejoice!
