Hey everyone look at us, we make badass motors and good looking cars but joke's on you! It weighs more than a Sherman tank and LOL aftermarket!

I'd still give one of my testes for a new Viper.
Lmao..

True but thats a guestament gonna have to wait till the numbers come out but either way it's a better match for the gt500 than the Zl1 is

Agree... People are just acting like dodge is the only one with a heavy car.

i think everyones forgetting that viper is now its own division and not actually a dodge anymore. i personally would love to see the same setup in a charger because i still beleive the charger is a sexy car 4 door or not. sad thing is between dodge chevy and ford i would buy a chevy last, and i love my gm's...

You should not of said that. GM has the most efficient cars on earth. Mopar or Ford cannot compete.

Even with the super efficient Diamler tranny, it won't make 650rwhp. That is like 8% drivetrain loss.

I would say more like 625rwhp and 4450lbs, for an 11.2 with a perfect launch and good driver. Expect mid 11's from most people, and getting stomped by C6Zs and GT500s that cost less.

I also can pretty much promise you it wont be ~55-60k like Marc said. A base SRT8 Challenger with manual is already $47k. Blowers are not cheap, and even if they keep everything else exactly the same (which would be a horrible idea when adding that much HP), it should still pass 55k. Dealer markup will also be enormous.

If you would have told anyone 15 years ago, that this would be the new "norm" for horsepower, they would have spit their beer in your face laughing.

Good times to be a gear head indeed - wonder how long it will last?
no kidding. it wasnt even that long ago that if you had a 1k rwhp supra, you were a king on the street.
600-800whp on stock 5.3/6.0s seems the norm

You can get a core srt8 challenger for 37k.

and the gm's are still ugly. if i pay that much money for a car im thinking of more than hp. if i wanted fast id buy a miata and drop a twin turbo lsx with a th400. something people on here fail to realize. most people who buy these cars want something more than a 1/4 mile timeslip

I hope they make a SRT8 RAM with this motor. Remember the Viper-powered SRT10 Ram? This could be so much cooler. 8-speed auto crew cab, 707hp supercharged V8. Yes please.

Maybe give it a lifted off-road suspension and theme. Directly take on the F150 SVT Raptor and Lingenfelter Silverado Reaper segment.

Word to this ****.

Also aggravating: Internet forum champions that criticize your car based upon things that only they care about like they pay your ******* bills for you or some ****. Nobody here truly cares about making the absolute fastest car for the absolute minimum dollar they can. Yet trolls will throw this crap up every single day like anybody cares about that argument.

Not according to Dodge.

Their own website starts it at 47k when you build one. Dealers mark them up quite a bit of top of that too.

You guys are nuts if you think this land barge is beating GT500s and ZL1s.

Youd be dumb to think this Hell Cat couldn't beat ZL1 or the GT500

It's saving grace will be the 8 speed auto. According to my math it'll still be behind in the LB/HP category.

I hope dodge has given this thing copious amounts of cooling, or else it'll be fucked.

This is just the rumor at the moment. We all know people who buy the cars drive better than the ones who test it hence the Gt500, Zr1, C6z06 doing better times completely stock then what Motor Trend and the alikes said it would

As for the cooling, you tell me
