I think I just crapped my pants.

http://www.autoblog.com/2006/05/03/challenger-srt-8-with-510-hp-in-the-works/

Take a look at the retarded posts below the article.
Here is the actual article.

Quote
Mopar faithful are speculating that Chrysler’s speed freaks are working on an SRT version of the upcoming Challenger. Since an official green light has not been given for the Challenger Concept that debuted earlier this year at the Detroit auto show, this may be a case of fans attempting to will their dream into reality, but a 510-hp, 6.4L Hemi V8 does sound better than sheep jumping a fence.

Word is that Chrysler’s SRT division was going to debut a Challenger SRT-8 at the New York Auto Show, an event that did not come to pass. SEMA is being pegged as the next most likely debut venue.

With the announcement by Ford that the Mustang Shelby GT500 will produce an SAE-certified 500 horsepower, many readers have questioned how both Dodge and Chevy will respond when their pony cars debut. Will the Challenger SRT-8 materialize as an answer, and will Chevy step up with a 500-hp Camaro SS? And how would that affect the Viper and Vette?

Though the Mustang Shelby GT500’s thunder was stolen by Dodge and Chevy at the Detroit show, it’s apparent the super Stang is raising some eyebrows around the industry.

this signature is null and void.

I'd have to say I doubt that the photo in the article is true. They may be building it but thats not the concept.
Look at the grille, it's an original Challenger grille. Same as the T/A stripe and hood.
Someones just added old Challenger parts in via photo shop. Looks "OK" though..... :thumbsup:

ALOT of ignorance on that page, ALOT.

let's see, we have
1) A ford fanboy who is impatient and doesn't have his facts straight
2) a hippy, who is flying someone elses flag, and doesn't have his facts straight
3) Someone who thinks muscle cars are just for "white trash"
4) someone who obviously doesn't understand the allure of muscle cars, yet feels the need to express his opinion as if it really matters to those who do.

It's like facepunch all over again


Good think my browser isn't letting me post on there, i had a good rant lined up.
