Yeah, if they price it like the JEEP SRT8 its going to be a tough sell. I'd still buy one though.

Yes, I was waiting to see if they built one, and then decided to just make my own. Getting closer (wheels, tires intake, exhaust, sound system), but until someone breaks the rolling codes, no tuning or superchargers will work. Please to let me know if anyone learns if the JGC brakes will swap as I would be interested in adding those. BTW, that supercharger will add 50+ hp over what the 6.4 Hemi makes stock.

Here is a recent interview with Ralph Gilles that hints that the codes may be released to aftermarket tuners in cooperation with Mopar Performance. A Superchips programmer rebadged as a MP accessory? http://www.modernmoparmagazine.com/w...lph-lets-talk/

One huge difference when comparing The SRT jeep to the Durango aside from size/weight is the fact that the SRT has a 1st gear ratio of 3.59:1 and a final drive ratio of 3.70:1 where as the Durango is 3.00:1 and 3.47 respectively. The D would need at least a 90 HP advantage over the stock SRT 8 to be able to match the acceleration times.

I asked the same thing when i was at the dealership not to long ago and the techs there said they wouldn't fit that those were specific to the JGC. I would LOVE a brembo big brake kit.

I hope this happens. When I transfer back to the CONUS I would love to have an R/T Durango and even better...an SRT8 Durango.
