I didn't watch the video, but is there also a sisterhood for the Chargers?

That name ‘Tomahawk’ has been used before with a one off prototype motorcycle Chrysler built, it was very cool, the name was very fitting. Note it was a ICE engine with lots of grunt.

What if one is a revised Hellcat with electric motors up front to pull it out of the hole? And, therefore it is a kick your ass quick hybrid with a Hellcat engine remaining? Would we be interested?

What if one is a real EV and competes with the Plaid? Would we be interested?

What if one is like a street legal drag pack? But priced under the DP. Would we be interested?
Option 3 yes.

100% Agreed. German cars don't hold value well for some reason, lot of lease deals available for them which doesn't help. The sticker on my 2014 MB E550 was over $70,000. Bought it as a one owner for $21k in early 21'. It's been an awesome daily driver! They are great cars just not worth the price new. Maintenance DIY has been slightly cheaper than the Hellcat but not by much.
my daughters 2013 mercedes C 250 has 130000 miles on it and the only issue has been a bad coil pak.

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!

Because electricity won't work without a negative?

You would not want any of the three choices? Why are you even here? Those 3 choices cover everybody, except you apparently.

I would be open minded to first option, doubtful it will occur, hopefully I am wrong. If it does a 3 letter acronym comes to my mind. ADM big time.

Lightened at least 100 lbs off the nose with Aluminum 1000 hp Hellaphant = Hell yes. Good weight transfer not to mention Carbon fiber lighweight spinning mass to keep the torque. I would be willing to pay for this on the Halo Ice Muscle car, but not go to the cleaners on ADM. I suspect it would be very difficult to lay hands on it even if it were to come to fruition.

I've always prided myself in being different.

Pal different is a good thing. That’s what has always been the driving force with Mopars.

Yes that would be my FIRST choice and an aluminum block is on my list of EASY weight savings.

I kept my connections alive so I am first on the list at 2 MSRP dealers. Possibly a 3rd. Lets hope that all hold to their word. Actually the first one is really solid and the second one is the actual Dealer/Person I bought my Red one seat Demon from.

Why the negativity? Have you seen what Stelantis is…What motivates them? It’s definitely not muscle…

My Predictions are based on MANY rumors and things that were said by Tim K etc etc. I think at least something great is coming and I think it will surprise folks when it does. I would not be surprised at all if we get all 3 cars I listed above. Some of the rumors go back more than 2 years. Also they have not come out with anything that would take much research and testing since the Demon. We are due..........
