I WANT ONE...



Still is not match for a Hennessy Viper... but then again nothing really is. I would LOVE to taunt the turbo on this thing all day long just to eat up 'Stangs... well, eat up just about anything on the road for that matter.

I think it is exciting as hell that all these respectable companies are jumping on-board with the Challenger. Very, very exciting for the brand.

A few people here might jump on you for saying "respectable" and "Hennessey" in the same sentence.

Well don't pick at it too much... you know what I was getting at... let's say "well-known" instead ... thats probably more correct, and takes the bias out of it.

This is by far the best looking Chally I've seen, but yeah, it's Hennessey, and I wouldnt touch it with a 10 foot pole. The man is a crook, and I've never heard a single good thing said about the man by most of the people I know who've owned Vipers.

We've seen several of these types of systems already with the other SRT-8s...but to only get 11.9 in the 1/4 wearing drag radials..... thats not really all that impressive...considering that the 2007 GT500 Mustang has done a 12.25 in the 1/4 stock... at about 25k less..

Hand me the keys to a GT500 and I'd drive it all day AND pay for the gas...

Just dont expect there to be much rubber left on the tires when I come back...
