Re: When your Challengers 6.1 isn't enough

Interesting...

But not as interesting as some things I've seen lying around. Can't talk about them now, but as soon as I hear more about these things I'll be out front with the info.

Re: When your Challengers 6.1 isn't enough

hmm can't wait to hear what those interesting items are du and I'm sure I'll end up seeing whatever it is at some point in time. And i know you can't exactly talk about what you saw at the moment but can you at least drop a hint is it a component or a new model all together

SRT has some fun stuff in store for the Challenger, but that is all I can say.

Even if you saw these mules you wouldn't notice anything odd about them.

Re: When your Challengers 6.1 isn't enough

Knowing SRT its probably something that will either bring insane performance or add some other item that will increase performance in a different way. if its a mule that has no obvious clues on the outside then more likely than not you'll have to listen for any differences (supercharger whine, turbo sound etc) I always like a challenge just ask the folks in the routan tester that i got pics of earlier this year. I'll admit they did a good job camoing it but unfortunately it was not good enough (they left part of the taillight exposed)

I sure hope so because after owning a car with a supercharger you really miss it when it's gone. Hopefully it's a twin screw or turbo. DuSpinnst please do keep us informed as much and as soon as you can.

yes do keep us informed as much as you possibly can. the mad scientists at SRT have not disappointed us yet so far and i hope they have cooked up something good for the challenger.

Unfortunately, the company selling the product (GSM) has one of the worst reputations in the performance community, not only for customer service but for product quality and empty promises. Hopefully anyone considering a purchase will do some research on the company before they spend their hard-earned money.
