slip is not linear. its exponential. managing it is not cheap. expecting a dodge street car to use it is ludicrous.

7 engines? really. i doubt it.you guys are getting rediculous and dont know it.
it wasnt too long ago the 6.4 was a 500hp engine according to rumors.

I did quite well in physics, thanks.
IF they are using the same design technology as Mercedes uses in their transmissions, which is not much of a stretch considering the A8 was built while coupled with Mercedes, than real traction control is possible.
I posted this above to assisnator:
If BMW can mass produce a traction control system in a motorcycle that can enable the use of an almost 200 rwhp engine for under $14k, why can't Chrysler do it for under $50k.
As far as the 7 engines, I can say this; the manual cars will get non MDS systems while the autos will get MDS, so that accounts for 6 of the engines.
The "7th engine" has been rumored for some time, with speculation of everything from it being a V10 to an aluminum blocked 6.4 to an SC'd 6.4.
My opinion is IF there is a 7th engine it will either probably be a limited production aluminum blocked 6.4 or they will offer the 1320 car with the 426 again.
The latter will not be a street car though so I don't know if you could really classify it as the "7th engine".
