MDS ... that only means that there will be auto-equiped cars. It doesn't mean that there can't be manuals in others (see Camaro SS and Challenger R/T). Also, I thought the new 8 speed was an auto, a conventional slush-box auto not an automated-manual/dual-clutch unit.

So.. that means its still a possibility of non MDS engine, thus the rumor higher HP figure

So now the rumors start about a "mystery" engine to be unveiled soon... V10?... Supercharged 6.4L?... Turbo 3.6L Pentastar?... might be all just BS...

Sorry to rain on your parade, but it is.

Anyways, I just read through that whole Chrysler thread, it's just one random guy who said nine speed. Can I have some source material here?

Yes, but nothing terribly significant. To match the claimed time it would have to have been in the 550 hp range, and MDS isn't going to cost you 75 ponies, maybe half that at those output levels but even that would probably be a stretch.

Only problem I see is that the 392 will be a $50,000+ car. Would've been nice if they showed the R/T a little more love, like maybe some Brembos and a better suspension.

Wow, 9 speeds. Where will it stop? Are we headed towards cars with gears in the double digits, or are we headed towards gearless cars (CVT)?

And for more... just Google it...

Poor 392 is going to have a tough time in that group not that it can't be done... but that's a big handicap for both weight and power.

Do you have a link for that, It would make sense to put the Viper V-10 in the challenger, But you would only have the ability to go fast in a straight line thats it...lol

I hate to say it, but from what I have seen in the mags that car is going to need that much power to compete with the current Camaro SS and Mustang.
