I think sometime around march 22 they are going to be revealing the new supercharged srt engine. There are a lot of rumors about total hp rating. I have heard anywhere from the mid 500's to almost 700. Also heard there will be a third key like the boss 302 that offers up more power. Hopefully it doesn't void the warranty like ford did. This will be interesting to see if they give the hell cat more power then the viper.

Source? I heard that they don't want to release anything about the Challenger until less than 90 days from production, so as to not stifle current sales.

I have heard that March should bring at least one new product of some type but wasn't under the impression it would be the SRT-8SC

I heard close to 700 is the target. I also heard Thier will be other Supercharged applications, more good things to come ;)

Will be available in the Challenger and Charger, but apparently not the 300, at least according to an Allpar article a while back. my 2007 SRT8 Charger with the 5-speed Autostick is a pretty fast car (it's no Viper, LOL), so I can't imagine what it will be like the the Hellcat and the 8 speed. Will be faster in a straight line then my Gen 3 Viper.

Too bad its going to be heavy as hell. SRT should be following Ford and GM and look to reduce weight and increase handling instead of throwing horsepower at it.

I like the space you get with the challenger. The new platform is going to be smaller but it should still be larger then camaro and mustang. With space comes weight.
Here is a good forum with a lot of info.

Their were rumors of a big weight drop and an overall smaller size for the 2015 Mustang, but it's actually a bit larger and will likely weigh about the same. They are also dropping the wonderfully powerful supercharged 5.8 in favor of a twin turbo 5.0. Seems like Chrysler is late to the game with technology on the Hellcat. Don't get me wrong- it will be a ton o' fun but will likely get slapped with a gas guzzler tax and poor mileage compared to all the new twin turbo V-8's out there.

Excellent work Steve !!...Funny how every time you come up with a concept (shaker hood), it does not take long when Chrysler follows suit. The front grill and rear blacked out panel is a very nice touch and adds that aggressive touch the car needed in my opinion.

Keep up the good work.

Couldn't believe my eyes yesterday. On my way to my monthly boat club meeting I drove past a convoy of test mules of the new challenger. There were escorted by a few trucks and I think a few chrysler cars. There had to be about about 5 to 7 challengers with their front end and rear ends covered up. I know these things are out driving around but I live in a small town about as far away from Michigan as you can get in ohio. Not to sound sexist but there were a few female drivers and they looked excited to see me stopping traffic to look at them as we passed. Made me think they were not chrysler employees. It was really cool to see them and if I wasn't busy I would have chased them down. Anyway we are getting close to the rumored revealing of this new car so it should be interesting.

I don't think they are full time employees of Chrysler, the one test driver I know is part time. He gets a gig (usually in AZ) for one or two weeks at a time and is never too sure when the next gig will be. If you see ducks on the dash, thats the guy I know inside.

Even though this has pissed alot of people off including myself let's look at the facts shall we?

1. The new challenger model won't be drastically changed so we don't have to worry about Dodge effing it up and make it 'euro' like the new mustang (really don't like that 2015 model by the way.) It'll have the same classic body with the modernized 71 front and rear. After all, when it came out in 08, the car's exterior was already perfected; the only way to make a refresh of it was to change front and rears to a 71 which is exactly what they're doing. No more or no less. Props to Dodge for that!

2. The Hellcat is a for sure reality and the numbers won't disappoint for those wanting to get one. For those of you saying it'll only make 600 hp are crazy. It'll be north of 650 and run mid 11s. Mark my words

3. The LED lightning is going to be sick and a well deserved update along with the facias and the new interior.

4. RS is the best source we have for knowledge so we should all be grateful for what info we do have. Like someone else said, we wouldn't know anything if it wasn't for RS.

5. Yes we have to wait a bit longer for it BUT we'll look back at this and laugh. The wait will be well worth it I believe come NY time or if it gets shown before.

Lotta pissed off people in that thread it seems. On a side note, if it really is 650+ HP I have no doubt the Viper will get some sort of bump.

I see the challenger as a quarter mile car. It's very big and hefty. Being more powerful then the viper is ok to me. Srt should have at least come out and said hey the new hellcat and 2015 challenger won't be there. It would avoid this bad publicity.

No wheel gap like Gen 2 is a good thing! What I was referring to was the fenders look like they will rub the rear tires if suspension compressed straight down with the 315s, am I incorrect? Obviously not as much tire hanging out as the photo I posted, the rear quarter design of the stock Challenger doesn't "hold" wider tires well in its stock silhouette.

Factory, yes. Mine no. Really boys, all the modding you guys do to your cars and you can't figure this out? Unless you think a 20x11 315 continental is a skinny tire. I think not.
There is no way this looks like an 80's get your bell bottoms out stance...

Love the 315's! Not so much on the red line on sidewall or cadillac tread pattern. Get you some Nitto NT05's on there! Good job on getting the offset as close to optimal as possible considering the small fenderwell you had to work with! Beautiful wheels.

BTW, you are running too much pressure in the rear tires. Look at your effective contact patch, you are only getting roughly a 275 tire worth of rubber on the ground. Drop your pressure and recheck patch. Bet you traction improves.

Thanks, I went with Continentals for the longer wear and I hate Nittos , sent them back because a Nitto 315 is no bigger than a 295. The run way smaller in advertised size compared to other brands. I think 32 lbs of air is what I am running. I'll check when the wheels get back next week from chroming.

To each his/her own. You have to pick what works for you. My criteria are 1)Appropriate size available 2)Performance 3)Appearance.
These look so aggressive on those cars over the Conti's. The Conti's are probably better in rain and snow. If you drive your Challenger aggressively, you'd probably love these. Here are 275/315's on your car. They don't look particularly small to me although you are right, the Nitto's do run on the small size, always have.

Ford is done with the high HP for a couple years since they only have a GT350 coming in late 2015. And Chevy is pushing a 505HP Z28 as their bad boy right now, so there's really no reason to wait.

Agreed, no reason to wait.

And burnouts must have been prioritized for 275/40ZR20 to be the winning size...

Even with that being said, it still looks great.

Ford makes about 5k GT500s a year, so Dodge will likely produce less then that. Price point is in the mid 50s I believe.

More like $75,000, a regular 6.4 SRT8 is mid 50's.

Yea I would look in the high $60k to mid $70s, that's where the Brand new SRT8 Jeeps are.

So it's designed to compete with C7 price point more or less? I think it looks & sounds incredible. Lots of power and comes with a Viper transmission. Wow.

Current SRTs run at $50K MSRP. They added new a interior, dash interface, and blower for less than $5k. Doubtful. Either way time will tell.

I have an 09 srt and really like the interior and power of the new one. I bet the 8 spd auto will make it fast. I would miss being able to rev the motor sitting next to a stang or other wishful thinker. Lol

Priced out a loaded 2014 srt8 at $54,000 so this one will be more than the Ford.

For what amounted to a relatively small increase in price Ford actually added a bunch of performance upgrades which included: twin fuel pumps, larger fuel injectors, a grippier and larger-diameter clutch, a larger fan, a three-row intercooler (the previous car used a double-row unit), a beefed-up Tremec 6060 six-speed with an internal oil pump, and a single-piece carbon-fiber driveshaft. Larger Brembo front disc brakes with six-piston calipers, reinforced axle tubes, and aero tweaks to help the car reach 200+mph safely. Ford says the changes have resulted in a 14-percent reduction in drag and a 66-percent increase in front-end downforce. Also new for 2013 is a larger front anti-roll bar and retuned springs. An rpm-adjustable electronic launch-control function is standard, as is four-mode electronic stability control. And all with no gas guzzler tax.

If that can keep the price point around the GT500, they will have a winner.

It will be a supercharged 707 HP with 650 ft. lbs of torque and Dodge has a new video on it, all over that other Viper site. My salesman at Mac Haik Dodge says they will be ordering soon but no price yet. He says their testing has done 10.91 seconds. Will see on that number but look out you proud Stang and Maro owners !!! Your time has come.

There are at least three other threads on this subject. If moderators want to delete this one or merge it that would be cool with me.
