    Wanna be BMW. Who is their audience? BMW drivers won't buy, neither will Mopar fans.

    I think that it needs an old school hood scoop. Also, it should be priced in the $50Ks.

    Actually Tom what I consider the 'old school' (66-74) Charger's were noteworthy for their lack of a factory hood scoop, though there was some nice hood shaping on some models. This was about as adventurous as they got.

    I know, but the Charger, with the Hurricane engine, needs a cool-looking hood to make it stand out as a performance car. There are so many options.

    It needs a V8 under the hood, otherwise not a muscle car, either an EV, or wanna be Beamer.

    Too expensive and needs a high-performance engine.

    It may be expensive, but the Six-Pack Hurricane twin-turbo will be fast. It has 500 hp. and will probably weigh almost 1,000 lbs. less than the EV. I suspect that it will be a 12-second car.

    After that if you want more HP you'll have to move up to the electric variant. I personally don't want a EV. So, I'm going stick with my 19 SP 1320.
