Challenger, yes. But Charger won't be. Supposedly the floor pan doesn't allow it.

I have a Pro-Cal Ford Racing tune waiting to go into my car. It's a 'premium fuel' tune so I can only use 91+ octane gas - which I do anyway.. Ford claims an additional 60 ft. lbs. of torque at 1500 RMP. It really wakes the car up down low. Also have a set of GT500 mufflers waiting to go on as well.
I just put $2k of Steeda suspension in to the car and wow what a difference that made.. it stays flat in turns and there's no more wheel hop.
Here's some before/after:
Billet Lower Control Arm with Relocation Bracket
ELVIS (08-14-2014),Nitro Express (08-14-2014),Von Halen (08-14-2014)
Maybe the next gen? Not sure how many buyers they'd get, and with no future SRT Chrysler 300's, that cuts the market down further. The police Chargers run column shifts but will still get the five-speed autos instead of the new eight-speeds.
Chevy is going to offer a manual in the SS. Between that and the easier to mod LS motor, that could sway some guys toward SS and away from Charger.
Repent !!
You've inflamed Mother Mopar !!
Blasphemy !!

I'm not buying any GM. Not even after my Chrysler friends and family discount goes away.
It sure is fun keeping shitbox cars from cutting in front of me. Saw a Taurus coming up on my left, and figured he was going to try to make the upcoming ramp on the right...he made it, but behind me and not in front of me. I need a GoPro.
Haha...
Where I live it's legal to run your car on aviation gasoline. If you do this you need to make sure your engine can handle the high octane or you will burn your valves. I had a neighbor who was moving and he gave me a barrel of Sunoco 118 octain race fuel. I ran it in my snowmobile. I'm lucky I didn't kill myself this winter. LOL! Let's just say I made it to the gas station on beer runs faster than I ever could in a car.

No kidding. Obama just screwed the bond holders on that GM deal. Look at all the recalls. Let the losers fail. Bailing them out fixes nothing. GM probably would have broken up and someone would have come in and bought the assets and brands. There probably would be a Chevrolet still but someone lean and mean would own it.
All the government should do is offer a loan on condition it be paid back in full. Such a loan saved Chrysler but Chrysler paid the loan back early. Iaccoca said when they went to pay the US Government back they said it would take 30 days to figure out who to write the check to because nobody usually pays the government back. Fine. Iaccoca just let the money accrue and made another million in interest while the government figured it's bullshit out.
Bailouts just make managers lazy. Where's the incentive to manage when your fuck ups are paid for? Might as well just waste the day in whore houses and on the golf course.

The Charger Hellcat is a bad motherfucker of a 4 door! 204 MPH!
You think Dodge paid for that review or has that guy never driven a fast car? Good of them to be at a track and not bother to give 1/4 mile or lap times. I expect the car to be able to break into the 11's with that kind of power.
I don't think the guy has ever driven a factory 4 door that has 700 HP, because there's never been one.
11's should be no problem, if you can keep it from spinning the tires.

69 Hemi Road Runner for $63k? You won't get very far in it.

Looks like something the Saudi Arabian students who go to our universities drive around in.
I just checked and AV gas does have lead in it so yeah it would destroy the catalytic converters in a modern street car. You can't have ethanol in AV gas because it absorbs water and creates all sorts of problems. Lead is an excellent lubricant. I'm sure it's in the AV gasl to assist in engine reliability. Aircraft engines pretty much run hard and they need to be reliable. There's a big controversy about getting the lead out of AV gas but it's added for a reason.
Well, the color is nice. Go with the two-door. You'll be glad you did.
I keep reading that the Hellcat will be used in a Grand Cherokee, but not as an SRT model. FCA has trademarked "Trackhawk" as a name and that's what the "experts" think a Hellcat GC will be named.
Some major chains sell "racing fuel" out of the pumps. One did here, at least as of four years ago. I was at the station recently (a Delta Sonic, a local carwash and detail chain that now has gas and oil change bays as well). I think it was 100 octane, but boosting octane doesn't do much if the engine compression is not designed for it.
You're better off using "Top Tier Gas" that has added detergent, at least twice the Federal minimum...
LOL Fiat only entered the market back here in like 2008 with the 500. The 500Abarth is kind of cool, but some of the newer Chryslers are based on Fiat platforms (the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200). There are rumors that Alfa is coming back to Fiat dealerships as well...
Yeah that thing was basically an Alpha Romeo it was designed by the Ferrari guy. 0-60 in 6 seconds it was a ton of fun. It had the smallest ashtray I have ever seen it literally could only hold one cigarette and only then once it had been smoked.
