It's already been officially announced that they're coming out. The guy at the end of the video said they were working on them right now and they would be available in a few weeks.

I read on Autoweek's site that it is not official yet, so who knows.

Weird for a company hurting so much to do it if you ask me.

Car and Driver did 13.3 with the current challenger. So I don't know where you're getting 14s.


I know theres got to be more in it as well. For example my buddy went 12.9 in a bone stock JEEP SRT8.

They will likely go low 12s easily with 800 pounds out of the car.

Spend 40 grand on a new car, and come back and tell me it was a good idea

I saw it with my own eyes, and told the dealer there fucken insane

Default Nice looking car but not a lot of "bang for the buck"

I heard some dealers are getting $20,000. over sticker right now!!!! Sounds like a lot of money to spend, just going off of a few pictures they've seen!! Who ever said Mopar guys were smart anyway!!!!

Buy a new car period and its a bad investment. Everyone knows that. I don't even know why you qouted my post?

Other than the fact that article says it will NOT be street legal. A single drivers seat, no a/c, wipers, etc.

Thats a little far fetched IMO.
