It's no news that the 300's been a hit for Chrysler -- and we here at the Jalop obviously are fans of the Dodge Charger SRT8 , and the new Dodge Challenger 's certainly got itself a purdy mouth. But there's potentially going to be some fuel economy issues inherent with a RWD, Hemi-powered platform given the current desire by Washington to focus toward beating up automakers and away from a more common-sensical Euro approach to increasing fuel economy. So what's the three-headed dog-owned car company going to do? According to the website for the lovers, the dreamers and me the answer is -- not a whole lot. The Car Connection is reporting: "Chrysler's plans for its large 300/Charger sedans include a major makeover for the 2011 model year. But while Chrysler's new managers have been dropping hints about the future of the HEMI engine, there's not much they can do about the rear-drive layout of the big sedans."

Good news everyone! Atomic supermen with octagonal-shaped bodies, that suck blood through straws out your... It looks as if the people have spoken, and spoken correctly for a change! In case you forgot, the Fantasy voting was so close yesterday , and both Mopars are so damn desirable, we said that after 24-hours if the gap between the two was 3% or less, both cars get in. Let me just double check the math: 51.2% - 48.8% = 2.4% And, we are pretty sure that 2.4% is less than 3%, so both the Charger R/T and the Challenger R/T are permanent members of the Jalopnik Fantasy Garage! And by the power of Grayskull raw "because I say so," the two Dodges will share a single spot. Reality be damned.

Wow, the Charger R/T and the Challenger R/T are running neck and neck. As of typing the Charger sits at 142 votes while the Challenger is nipping it's heals with 140. How does this sound to you: Let's get all hopped up on Benzedrine and race a Charger against a Challenger from New York to California If the differential remains within 3% between the two JFG candidates, we'll bend the rules and stick 'em both in. We're pretty sure we can fit an extra spot. Maybe we can rip out the bathroom... [ UPDATE: polls close tomorrow at noon, so tell your friends. ]
