OK I get a bunch of emails from different places because it' Dodge most of it I just blow past.  Some I bring here.

This one got my attention & I had to read these numbers a couple times to make sure I wasn't reading it wrong.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Is The Most Powerful Muscle Car Ever -- 707 hp!
July 1, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The all-new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT, with its supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® Hellcat engine, produces an unprecedented 707 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful Challenger ever, Dodge's most powerful V-8 ever and the most powerful muscle car ever.

The Challenger's new 6.2-liter Supercharged Hellcat engine is also the first factory supercharged HEMI, as well as Dodge and SRT's first application of V-8 supercharger technology. For the first time in Chrysler Group history, the all-new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine comes standard with two key fobs -- red and black. The red key fob is the only key that can unlock the full 707 horsepower and torque potential of the Challenger SRT Hellcat engine; while the black key fob limits the driver to a reduced engine output of 500 horsepower.

In addition to the awe-inspiring 707 horsepower of the new Hellcat HEMI, the new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has been redesigned and totally re-engineered to be the most true-to-form muscle coupe on the market with performance-enhancing technologies inside and out, including the new TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission and an all-new interior inspired by the classic 1971 Challenger.

The Dodge and SRT brands now offer the most complete lineup of muscle cars in the market, including the new 2015 Dodge Challenger SXT with its standard powerful and fuel-efficient Pentastar V-6 engine combined with the TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission that delivers 300 horsepower and an estimated 30 miles per gallon; the 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T with the high-torque 5.7-liter HEMI now paired with the TorqueFlite eight-speed or six-speed manual transmission; and the all-new 6.4-liter HEMI Challenger Scat Pack that delivers 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque with the TorqueFlite eight-speed or six-speed manual.

The 2015 Dodge Challenger and Challenger SRTs are built at the Brampton, Ontario, Assembly Plant and will start arriving in Dodge dealerships in the third quarter of 2014.

Speculation is it'll make the 1/4 mile in the 11s, which is viper/corvette territory
Can't wait to see what they do with the viper to keep it a step above that

[lilfroger]

Thought I read somewhere that Viper was being shelved?

[Tom Courtright]

Wouldn't make sense to shelve the viper after all the work they just did to it, plus Ralph Giles is a huge viper fan he wouldn't let it go without a fight.

The two are sharing a transmission based on the Dodge site. If they keep this one around 60k the 2 would be in different 'classes' right?

It's way early in the year but they don't have the 2015 viper on the SRT page. Hmmm

[BigRiver]

Interesting…wonder how it does in the traction department, those meats look a little too narrow.

I'm guessing they built it to compete with the ZL1 Camaro and the Super Snake Mustang.  My $5K beater Mustang will woop up all three of them any given day at the track, corner carving is a different story lol.

Ya know everyone my birthday is only 3 weeks away.   I bet you guys can work some dope deal with Super Dave and get mine on order & paid for. I'll fly down and get it I'll have to take the DOF 911 list with me though ... so I can call each and everyone of you to bail me out of jail on the way home
