2011 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 392 To Debut At SEMA
Chrysler‘s Mopar division will unveil a new slate of vehicles at the 2010 SEMA show, with an updated Dodge Challenger SRT-8 as the brand’s star debut.
The updated Challenger SRT-8 will feature an all-new 6.4L V8 with 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy will get a 15-20 percent bump on the highway, thanks to a multi-displacement system (that allows for deactivation of cylinders at highway speeds), variable valve timing and a variable intake manifold.
A limited run of Inaugural Edition vehicles will ship after Thanksgiving in a run of 1,492 cars that will kick off the car’s production. The Inaugural Edition will feature special paint and stripe packages and other special accouterments. Pricing will be announced shortly, and Autoguide will have full coverage of the car’s debut at the SEMA show starting November 1.

The talk about the bailout is really a bunch of bull. Sure GM & Chryco got a bail out but that is known. What about the 14 billion Ford got from the US gov. as a gift for R&D? No one talks about that little tidbit. GM & Chryco are both trying to get some R&D money too.
470HP? Everyone knows Dodge has always fudged the HP numbers to help with insurance costs. The numbers coming out of automotive Magazine test show the 392/6.4 at somewhere between 500 & 530 HP. The 392 crate engine is 525 so they under rated the output.
