2009 Commander too. All models with current 5.7 will get new gen II 5.7 for 2009 MY. And of course the 2009 Chally (MDS and non-MDS versions).

I don't believe that the 6.1 is going to get a hp bump for 2009MY. No definite word on the 6.4, looking like 2010MY at the earliest.

CRZYCUBAN2 · 01-10-2008, 07:14 PM

Right on. Thanks

I think the Challenger will be the car for 09 that will get the 6.4 ltr version and then MY10 for 300/Charger/Jeep

does that mean that caliber/compass/patriot are out?

hemidakota · 01-11-2008, 09:00 AM

No...perhaps the Compass by MY10. These are compacts and Nissan is supplying the platform for sub-compacts = Hornet size

Good to hear on both accounts, thx again hemi!

click above image for more spy shots of the production Dodge Challenger

Think about this one....as I was told last night...if you know that the production Challenger SRT will be at the auto show next month and production the following month, why would Chrysler still be driving around the beta model?

Well? The answer is the rear-end exhaust...

I forgot to add...look what is next to the Challenger?

Big Country · 01-11-2008, 10:16 AM

I wondered what the deal was with the exhaust in those spy pics since it had the odd looking round tubes protruding several inches beyond the rear fascia. I don't have a clue what it means though...6.4 being tested???

crosbysrt · 01-11-2008, 10:38 AM

Dodge should move the rear pipes within the facia and also offer side pipe megafone tips like the '70 T/A. Now that would be very cool!
