PRESS RELEASE

Dodge Challenger SRT10 Concept

Auburn Hills, Mich., Oct 14, 2008 - The opportunity for SRT engineering to "one-up" itself comes to fruition with the 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT10 Concept. Power for the 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT10 Concept comes from the Dodge Viper 8.4-liter, all-aluminum V-10 engine with 600 horsepower and 560 lb. ft. of torque. It's a vehicle that delivers the well-known SRT credo of benchmark performance. The Dodge Challenger SRT10 Concept includes a fresh coat of Tornado Red paint with a carbon-fiber deck lid and hood. The "shaker hood" is a nostalgic representation of the 1970 HEMI Cuda, giving the 600-hp Viper V-10 engine room to breathe. Brakes have been upgraded and BILSTEIN® shocks at all four corners improve handling balance. The interior boasts sport seats and carbon-fiber accents throughout and, of course, true to the Viper-powered vehicle lineage, a red engine start push-button in the dash.

Holy. Freaking. Shit.

That thing is capable of becoming a GT1 racing monster.

The side-by-side pic is epic. I love the looks of the Challenger but I've heard it's not the best driver's car. Maybe this'll be different.

I don't like the wheels, but bloody hell! images/smilies/ohmy.gif

Dins · October 14th, 2008, 5:26 PM

You see, everything can be made better with a Viper V10. This is real American Muscle.

bartboy9891 · October 14th, 2008, 5:37 PM

That looks fantastic, but they could go a step further and make a Challenger ACR!

MadCow809 · October 14th, 2008, 5:49 PM

Viper > Challenger.

and also.

S85 > big block engine

killpanda · October 14th, 2008, 5:52 PM

With black wheels it would be perfect !

DO WANT !

Cobol74 · October 14th, 2008, 5:52 PM

In that colour - -yes, yes, yes. ... (NB I dislike those wheels too - may be a British thing tho', we were done with wheels like that in the 1980s).

I have trouble wanting something other than a V8 in the Challenger... That V10 is made for Viper, and Viper only!

Take an already powerful Challenger and pump it up even more? This thing is certifiable and I love it for that.

D-Fence · October 14th, 2008, 6:35 PM

Completely senseless, probably undrivable but MOTHER OF JESUS I WANT ONE RIGHT NOW! (and a free supply of tires and gas plz images/smilies/smile.gif

)

Aston Martin · October 14th, 2008, 6:52 PM

I'll take it... in General Lee colours. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

*Awaits people whining, "OMG the General Lee was a Charger"... yeah big deal, wanna fight about it?

Rokovak · October 14th, 2008, 6:58 PM

Looks fantastic but it probably handles like a kayak.

Seasonone · October 14th, 2008, 6:58 PM

Seems a little "half assed" for SEMA, in '04 or '05 there was a Cuda with a viper engine in it and that one was twin turbo, there has been a viper engine crammed into a Jeep a 3 series, the "v12 swap" alone IMO doesn't really seem that impressive. When it comes to SEMA I would expect a little more effort? Don't get my wrong cool car, I just think you need to have a crazy wacky swap (like VW's W12 golf) or go all out on everything else. Because from the looks it just looks like they took that super stock version from a year ago slapped a new front lip and wheels on than put in a V12 that doesn't put out much more power than the crate V8.

Crazyjeeper · October 14th, 2008, 7:28 PM

Needs an AAR Cuda style stripe, then it would be perfect.

Looks delicious. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

teeb · October 14th, 2008, 7:45 PM

I'll take one in black!

And, assuming it won't make the engine explode, minus the comically large bonnet-nostrils please.
