Supercharged HURST/HEMI Dodge Challenger 
Chatsworth, California - HURST is one of the most recognized and revered names in the history of performance automobiles. The HURST brand has long been synonymous with speed, performance and quality, with an impressive track-record of pioneering performance products for all forms of motorsports and hot-rodding. HURST was one of the first to partner with the OEMs and bring enthusiasts limited edition performance vehicles like the legendary HURST/Olds 442.
HURST is at it again! The newest creation to be rolled out to continue the tradition is the 2009 HURST/HEMIŽ Challenger. Starting with the HEMIŽ powered Dodge Challenger SRT8, HURST takes it to the next level as a 500+ HP supercharged limited edition built and tuned by the best in the business.
Nate Shelton, Chairman of HURST, is committed to delivering the value that HURST is known for; "The new HURST/HEMIŽ Challenger is more than just another muscle car. It epitomizes the performance industries tradition of taking the best Detroit has to offer and adding 21st century performance parts to make your ride faster and cooler than the other guys. HURST has a long history of doing just that with guys like Don Garlits, Warren Johnson, Dick Landy and even celebrity racers Steve McQueen and Jim Garner. The new HURST/HEMIŽ Challenger is the first of many HURST Performance Vehicles to come. We are ready to make some more history."
HURST has partnered with some of the best companies in the industry to create a collectible limited edition muscle car with the looks, attitude and credentials to back it up. The HURST/HEMIŽ Challenger will be available in four Stages of performance trim through participating Dodge dealerships. The details are iconic and impressive; the huge polished five-spoke HURST alloy wheels and the "Pistol-Grip" HURST shifter are inspired by the originals that helped make HURST the legendary brand that it is today.
HURST Performance Vehicles Program Director Ron Flint adds "The legacy of the HURST brand gives us a huge advantage and it sets the bar very high for our team. Our goal is simple; create serious driveway-envy in your neighborhood."
The HURST/HEMIŽ Challenger makes its debut at the trade-only SEMA Show in Las Vegas this November. Vehicle production is slated for early 2009.

I heard on another forum the top of the line stage 5 package is about $20K over the price of an SRT8. I believe that includes the wheels & Tires, full suspension, exterior upgrades to the spoilers,badging, interior upgrades with Katzkin, Kicker audio system, Vortech kit/tuning, custom paint options + a full warranty ...For that price it seems very reasonable all items included.

the stage 4 or 5 cars are supposed to produce about 560hp . Actually I think the wheels are pretty nice on the car. They are mocked up from the original wheels Hurst used to make in the 60's & 70s
