"The modern 392 Hemi crate engine uses a 10.5:1 compression ratio, forged internals and twin-plug heads to generate 525 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque."

 

That was awesome

 

That's a very well set up drag car to pull a mid-11 pass at that low mph!

 

It is a shame the production one isn't going to be that bad @$$.

 

Well.... I guess we can safely say which type of racing Dodge will use to market the Challenger.

But at least with the Ford GT500, you don't have to change out the rear suspension to handle the power without hopping itself to pieces.

 

I'm sure the SRT versions will handle and brake at least as well as the SRT Chargers, which is pretty damn well, even if they choose to market it with a drag racing emphasis.

 

I can already hear the dodge fans......

 

THE baddest car on the road.
Man, that thing sounds nice.

 

 

This is all hype. Would it be any better if a "Camaro Super Stock Concept" had a ZZ572/720R, big tires, and a live axle? Production is not likely to be a thing like that concept (as far as drive train is concerned).

 

Still looks like something I could've bought in the 70s.

 

That is one of the coolest Dodges I have seen in awhile.

 

At least they got rid of that ugly red, white, and blue paint job, but you are right, it still looks straight out of the 70s.

 

It's possible that they'll offer the rearend via the Mopar Parts catalog (the motor is already available).

 

I was thinking the same thing. It almost looks identical to a 1970 Challenger.
