On paper the old v6 is still a good engine, in the Dakota its rated for well
over 200hp but in person and combined with that rotten trans, what junk...

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I thinkg you and Curt are
both right and I'm wrong. I think the base rental-fleet-special
pre-2011 Charger came with the sloppy Chrysler trans and a wheezy
pre-DB-takeover V6 (left over from the unlamented "cab forward" FWD
large-car lineup). Hence Curt's bad experience with it. The V-6 in
the SXT is quite respectable, in the neighborhood of 250 HP, and that
car and all the V-8s come with the Mercedes trans.
