in the Challenger, at least, this combo is good enough for 375hp, 16mpg city/25mpg highway. and pretty decent handling, given the IRS taken from the E-Class.

How is anything u listed a marvel of modern engineering? Cylinder deactivation is not something hard to incorporate into an engine. OHV engines have nearly become extinct for a reason...
The ///M V10 and V8 are marvels of modern engineering. The ///M V10 has a 12:1 Compression ratio (WOW), 100hp/L (all NA), 8250rpm Redline (an OHV engine, could only dream to rev this high), double vanos, individual throttle bodies/cylinder, I could go on for days.
As for only being for cars under $54K then thats just useless. Making high technology, highly advanced engines costs money, hence you see the list of garbage that made the list on wards.
