Because Dodge doesn't have a halo car anymore. When they had the Viper the only other car that got that motor was a truck because there was no way that truck was going to perform better than the Viper. And even then I think it was slightly detuned.
Dodge would never put a Viper motor from their ACR-E into a Challenger if they were produced at the same time. Just like how Ford will never drop the Ford GT motor into the top trim Mustang. The minute you do that, you ruin all sales of your halo car except to very niche collectors.
Why would I spend $400k for a Ford GT if I can get the same motor and same performance numbers in a $120k Mustang?
