    The GT AWS is very slick looking, but I'm hoping a V8 pops ups at a good price.

    If it rains where you are a lot, AWD can be fun at stoplights. I blow people away with my 4WD truck in the rain.

    If you spend the time and effort, you can get a forced-induction AWD Challenger that is inexpensively right near Hellcat power levels, and expensively, but nowhere near Hellcat price, well beyond them.

    I also encouraged Mopar, in the letter to their president, to aggressively pursue the aftermarket via Direct Connection to SELL us the stuff we can use to upgrade lower-tier cars to being monsters. As I do not tire of stating this letter, too, was read then returned to me stamped to that effect.

    I believe Chrysler is shifting closer to 1960 and Charles Bronson, and not 2022 Dylan Mulvaney behavior.

    You can buy R/T's - SRT's you'd likely find desirable from $20k -30k cdn in the greater Vancouver market (endless Challenger V8's for sale here).

    I hear you on that front, you would think Direct Connection would throw us V6 guys a bone. Give us some engine modifications that could add 50 - 100
    HP & TQ.

    Without a proper exhaust port, that is harder to do.
