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.

Not so sure about "Viper" on the hood scoop, and it could probably be shaped a little better, but other than that

DO WANT

I just wanted everybody to know... I am going to tug it to this tonight.

And I am so incredibly pissed that the powers @ Mopar aren't giving the SRT engineers room to stretch their legs in a production platform. They are forever dicking with "concepts".

Observe:

Chrysler:- Oh Hai Guyz! We're going to offer an affordable SRT model in two years!!"
SRT:- Sweet, a chance to make something people can actually afford! What do we get to work with?
Chrysler:- The Caliber
SRT:-

So instead of showing what is possible with their brandy new car that everybody's been waiting for for so damn long, they toss a Viper engine in it instead. How fucking stupid can Dodge/MOPAR be?

Exactly. No stage upgrades or factory forced induction kits... a viper motor.

I heard they did a good job getting the hood to line up correctly

**Vissionary** · 10-14-2008, 05:27 PM

you do realize that its a shaker hood right? how are you not certain that the V10 isn't causing that? moreover, who gives a fuck?

**RickJamesBish** · 10-14-2008, 05:28 PM

It's sexy, I'm not even really caring that there's a borrowed engine in there.

I saw a V6 Challenger the other day on the highway...I liked it almost as much as my wife did...some cars are way more appealing in person.
