SRT8 to fear We're in TROUBLE

But if I don't, +1 to me :lol::lol::lol:

Except the Challenger is already gonna cost around $50k+ crazy markups. So when Saleen touches it, expect it to be around $80k+

:dw:Im not sure where your getting your numbers from, but they are way off. SMS is NOT starting with an SRT8, its an R/T hence the 5.7 engine. Those are not going to be near $40k, more in the $33k range.

they are selling the srt8 55000. +should be out in the show rooms i believe next week .

If you're talking a run of the mill SRT8 Challenger you're off by about 10k without ADM.

I think the SRT8 Challenger is supposed to have an MSRP less than the GT500. I heard 30,000 a year for all models, so maybe 10,000 SRT8s a year? :??: There probably will be markups, but hopefully nothing too insane. I'm sure some people will be waiting for the 6spd model next year..

The Saleen edition will be very limited so expect crazy mark-ups, I wouldn't be suprised if it ends up costing $70K-$80K just like the KR.

Agreed, though I think most of the auto SRT8s are already sold.

So time for a 3.70" bore OEM block with a stroker crank.

800 WHP on pump gas with a twin screw in a car that weighs 500 lbs less.

I'm assuming you mean with a Modular, that would be a no no as far as durability/longevity are concerned. If you're going to slap a blower/turbo on it there's no reason to compromise the integrity of the stock design for a few more inches since the PA is the ultimate limiting factor in potential power anyway.

lol at all you guys calling the Challenger a pig. Last I checked, most of us aren't driving 2900 lb Lotus' and 3200 lb Z06's. Hmm....:shrug:

 

[exdeath]

I think thats WHY they are calling it a pig... we already know our cars are heavy pigs at 3600 lbs, thats exactly WHY 4100 lbs is unfathomable.

 

[HotRodK]

Call them what you will, but the SRT8s pull all that weight with authority!:burnout:

i believe i seen them on ebay going for that price. 55000. and up .

 

[stainless40cal]

I dont see them having 700 hp and if they do they will be stupid priced. Either way Dodge = garbage/ thread

agreed...dodge is garbage except for the viper

 

[jsd512]

They're not as stout as Modulars unfortunately, though still good for 800hp+. Mopar is releasing a T356 based 6.1 block that can be safely poked/stroked to 440CI. Probably a 3k+ piece though.

There are a couple of LXs making 750rwhp without any trouble. That would put flywheel @ about 900 - 950. Of course people said the Viper engine block could not support a 1000, HAHA try 2000HP.

WOW, this is the single most obsurd statement I have read in a few minutes. The Challenger is not garbage, nor the new Rams, SRT8s, Jeep Wrangler or the minivans (still the best selling regardless of what you think about them). Please lay off the pot.

Dude, there are 426s making 650HP on pump. Just go over to the LXforums and get educated - PLEASE.

Ok buddy, we are talking about performance cars here, NOT best selling mini van. Theres so many other cars i rather have then a SRT8 Charger, Challenger, or Jeep in the same price range (G8 GXP, Vette, Gt500..etc) Why spend 40,000 on a decently loaded Challanger SRT8 when i can go get a LS3 corvette for a similar price. This is why i think Dodge is garbage, EXCEPT for the Viper...and Mini vans
thank you. Please lay off the Dodge Phallus.

 

[swoosh_stang]

Since this is a saleen thread, has anyone else seen the new S302E Mustang, it's supposed to have 620hp.

Yes there are people making more than 800HP however I personally wouldn't try. The mains aren't the strongest on the 5.7/6.1 iron blocks, but that's just MHO. I wouldn't stroke a Modular either fwiw.
