As always we should be cautiously optimistic. We know what auto makers say and what they actually do are sometimes at odds. I'm hoping they can keep the weight down and the power up though!

all Ford has done has pretty much matched them. it would be stupid of them to spend money just to out do them for a few years.

no its up to the super chargers and other things for the individual to make their car more powerful now

Chrysler are replacing their whole V6 line up with their FI and DI Phoenix engines and with the 4 bangers coming from Fiat .... things look promising, and if Dodge sticks the 6.4 in the Challenger and no price increase ... The challenger will be the cheapist muscle car with 500 HP
