Dodge to offer a 590 HP 426 Hemi for the Charger!!

This is a hint of what Dodge may be planning for the Challenger.....a N/A 426!!

.......590 HP..... without a blower...

That's cool but like said before some of us with good bolt ons and cammed can still run with them at a much cheaper price tag. If they unlock them so u can add more bolt ons then watch out but they won't!

Gas guzzler tax, excessively expensive, etc. For that money there are so many other cars I'd get first, and while they may not be as fast in a straight line at speeds less than 150mph, they'll be an infinitely better value, more practical, and more fun.

they already make a 600+ hp challenger with a V-10, called "drag pak". I wonder which would actually run faster, the 426 has to be quite a bit lighter.

this seems kind of dumb, why do it on the r/t instead of the srt8? The srt has much better suspension and braking.

Glad Dodge is coming to the table with something. Hopefully they give the Challenger something good too.

For that money I'd rather have a CTS-V and smoke it.
