What else besides Caliber and probably Challenger is Chrysler planning to SRT in the future?

I think there were talks of a SRT6 from the Avenger, but I don't know if those are still around since I think it was about 2 years ago it was talked about.

Outside of the next gen Viper motors (which also includes the Ram SRT-10), and the next gen Hemis (coming within the next year or 2) Chrysler will also have SRT versions of their next V6, which probally means Avenger and perhaps Sebring.

There isn't much else SRT can get into. Short of Minivans, Durangos, Dakotas, Wranglers, and Sprinters, there's an SRT version of just about everything Chrysler makes.

There's even an SRT-6 Crossfire.

Several sources have told me that the next SRT ram will get a big Hemi rather than the Viper's V10.

Avenger is definitely getting an SRT version. The rumors swirling around it are really wild -- close to 400 hp from a turbo V6, hi-po AWD system borrowed from Mitsu, etc. -- but hard details are still kind of sparse.

Chrysler has several new cars in the works -- I expect most or all of 'em will get SRT variants a year or two after introduction.

Will the SRT Ram get the new Chrysler 6spd auto, like the ones behind the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks?

That would be pretty hot. I really didnt like the Avenger when it first came out but on the road its not bad looking and sporting 400hp and hopefully a stick it would look even better

No way they'd put 400hp in the avenger. I don't see it happening at all.

mastrdrver

I'm sure there are some that thought that when Chrysler said they will put a 300hp turbo 4 in a FWD Caliber.

I could see 400hp alot more than I could see a manual transmission.

georgejetson

No way they'd put 600 hp in the Viper, either, but here we are.

Seriously, that's the rumor right now, from a couple of sources inside. 400 hp from a turbo'd 4.0 V6.

I don't make this stuff up, I just pass it on.

georgejetson

One source says you'll see 'em both.

That rumor is popping up a lot all over the place actually. I just hope they do it. Somebody eventually is going to make a domestic turbo 6 with AWD. Ford could do it with the Fusion too. Hell they already have all the basic parts they just need to wake up and do it. I know I'd love to have one. Smack the imports at their own game.

I'd love to see the new 392 Hemi in a Ram with the 6 speed tranny from the 2500/3500s. An LX/LY with a tremec T56 would be nice as well.

Shellhead

I doubt we'll see a new Viper. Everything I've heard says that Chrysler isn't sure of the "vision" of the car, and what they should be targeting......of course that was before they got bought out. I would HOPE the new managers would see the value in Viper, but......

The Avenger/Sebring aren't very competitive cars in the midsize class to begin with. I'm not sure throwing gobs of horsepower at them is going to fix that line, unless you're only concerned with the hardcore performance crowd.
