To be fair, I'd like to hear it on the move.

Welcome to Luddite City. Less than 8 and it can't be great.
Well they only gave it 6, so it takes the verbal licks.
That's not saying much. Even if it had a little naturally aspirated engine from a fiat and had a 0 to 60 of 15 seconds I would still take that over the electric one.
My MB E350 with the AMG pkg sounds deeper than that. A somewhat deep rumble instead of a fart can. Is it a straight 6 vs a V6 sound?
If Stellantis wanted more power or more linear power they'd gone with a varible vane Turbo like Porsche. Is it a twin-turbo setup?
From Road and Track magazine:
Here's a breakdown of the key information:
Name: The gas-powered version will be called the Charger Sixpack.
Engine:It will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six engine, available in two versions:
Standard Output (S.O.): 420 horsepower.
High Output (H.O.): 550 horsepower.
Availability: Gas-powered models, including both two-door coupe and four-door sedan variants, are scheduled to be available starting in early 2025.
Transmission: All gas-powered Charger Sixpacks will be equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission, according to Road & Track.
All-Wheel Drive: Both the electric and gas-powered Chargers will be offered with all-wheel drive, though Dodge has indicated that a way to send power to just the rear wheels for "shenanigans" will be available.

Is the manual transmission option completely dead or do you think it'll return? I think the Hellcats and 392 scat packs had a decent take rate on the manual transmission. If the epa/NHTSA didn't require a crash test/emissions compliance for each type of vehicle sold like other countries we could still have manual transmissions as an option.
I would guess the manual transmission is dead for the time being. Maybe they will bring it back if they decide to drop the V8s back in the Charger. But the new Charger has a tight engine bay.

My BiL had the AAR Cuda - same version of the 340 (4 bolt mains) …

I've noticed that. Yeah, that exhaust might need some improvement, but you can't argue with the torque and HP numbers.
Those are worth some serious coin now. Even rusty barn examples are starting to fetch fairly high dollars. From reading the Plymouth offered three engine Choices to the Dodges two. If so why?

The 383 was the base motor in what was likely the cheapest of all muscle cars in it’s day (Roadrunner) … The sister GTX consumed lots of 440’s …
Go read the article linked in post #30. Thanks 97prizm.
The new 6 might go zoom....but it don't look like fun to own/maintain.
The cited >5,000 psi fuel pump makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. How 'bout you?

Can not explain why. I never owned one thing Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth made but have been crazy about their muscle machines for years. Especially those big bodied GTX , Coronet RTs , Road Runners .....
Serious coins. Heard about this guy who bought a "barn find." It was an AMC , ex racer JAVELIN SST. I think it was running some type fuel injection and engine the previous owner got from the defunct Bobby Allison Trans Am racing circuit team.
Once they guy got to checking it out , he finds a 1960s era Webber Sub stack carb system & manifold (signed by Bobby) in the trunk. He managed to get Allison to verify it was really one of his. He said he ended up paying for a new pick up truck with the money he got for it.
From everyone I know that ran Mopars on the streets in those days, the 440 six pack was easier to keep in tune than the 426 Hemi with 2 Carter AFBs. The 440-6 usually beat the Hemi.
