Maaaaan!!!! I hope these things have a recall.

I don't wanna find out that one of my neighbors will have the fastest car on the block! How am I supposed to run with one of these newer SRT8's and feel confident about winning? Haha...

What are you dodge engineers doing?!?!?

I've noticed that American muscle is usually S/C instead of Turbo any reason for that ?

Other than Neon I cannot remember any Turbo car.

Two Torque Monsters...E55/Viper
I'm curious what they may have up there sleeve for the Viper with this release.

While two different segments (Muscle Car vs. Track Focused) the Viper needs some of it's over the top antics back. Don't get me wrong...I've driven two Gen V's and they are no doubt impressive but terribly marketed and priced too steep.

Ok what's this beast going to turn in 1/4? This vid lays down some very BIG talk, I hope this Wild-Kat runs at least basement 11's - 10.9x in stock form to back it ALL up.. Sounds/looks specphukintacular

We ended up getting a mint Typhoon a while back and that thing got some *****.

IDK what the HP number will be since the Chrysler Engineer said 600+ hp, while the other videos say '707HP'. Not sure why there's such a huge disconnect.

The President/CEO of Dodge/SRT in above video says "1st claim, this is the fastest muscle car in history period end of story, 2nd claim it's the most powerful muscle car in history at 707 HP"

This is getting very interesting.. The HP wars are far from over! God I love this country...

Lol so there are a lot of cars with turbo haha

I've never even heard of those.

So how come they have not been using Turbo in Corvettes and Cts-v ?

The new CTS V-Sport is sporting a TT V6 as the top of the line motor until the CTS-V returns. Since the V-Sport is turbo, maybe the CTS-V will be as well. More than likely it will sport the new Z06 motor, though.

Chevy just got back into forced induction in 2009 with the supercharged ZR-1, and now the new Z06, after a 55 year break from it. I don't recall any factory s/c Vettes since the '50s. Give them some time and they might switch.

Coming from Dodge, that engine will be toast in 4 years and 20000 miles.

note that pretty much all those current/new turbo cars are all smaller in size...

would love to see a V-6 turbo diesel in a GMC Denali, tired of our 12MPG 6.0L pig

707hp , yeah wow ,,, nice sounding motor , nice burnout not a big deal , Why didn't they run the quarter since they where at my track ,,, wonder why? ,, Plus this car will have a ridiculous price like the Z28 and its heavy as HELL . Unless dodge limits production to keep value up they'll be 40 or 50 grand in 2 years. Look how FORD and Chevy haven't kept their production down on GT500 and ZL1 their new and used all over the place and prices all over the place too. Also whats the insurance going to be you'll have to be over 35 to get any kind of break and a clean driving record . Oh I do like the car and it looks really mean .
