If they want this car to sell - I think I they need to give the V6 models more horsepower. It's patherically behind the Camaro and Mustang V6 equivalents.
A little refinement couldn't hurt either....

Nice. But why do these cars have to be so darn BIG!
Let me explain.....I know they are throw-backs to the muscle car era and muscle cars were big. But as you improve a bit on style, design, technology why not make the car a little more svelte and taut.
Almost seems like gasoline and emissions will have it's way with these re-incarnations.
To make it clear....I do like these rebirth era of cars, it's just that they are sooo large.

Enjoy it while it lasts. The Day of Reckoning is coming in 4-5 more years, with new CAFE/emission controls. Fortunately, it will NOT be a complete repeat of the 1970s, because technology today is so much greater (and power can be gotten in other ways than displacement alone), but it seems obvious that the classic HP wars, as we know them today, will come to an end, just like they did after 1970.

It's entertaining to see the Mopar guys try to run these cars stock.
Not nearly as fast as they think they are.
