2009 Hurst/Hemi Challenger to debut at SEMA

Muscle-car enthusiasts were pleased to welcome the advent of the new Dodge Challenger SRT8. Overlooking its immense weight for the old-fashioned appearance and brawny Hemi power, they have already gobbled up all the cars due for production next year. However, Hurst wasn’t satisfied to leave it alone, but has decided to prepare a high-powered model complete with a set of Hurst accessories for SEMA show this November. The vehicle will be available soon for purchase through Dodge dealers.

The high-end super-powered version, according to the latest reports, will produce 560hp (417 kW), lower-specs versions will also be available though. Dealers will receive the cars early next year, which will be available in four stages. Accessories that will be shared across the line-up include Hurst shifters and five-spoke alloy wheels. The top-end versions will get a Vortech Supercharger, Magnaflow exhaust, Eibach springs, Bilstein shocks, Katzkin leather interior finish and Kicker audio, according to AutoWeek.

Its going to be slow no matter what the manufactorer does to it. I have seen only 1 aftermarket that actually has done a weight reduction. Everyone else just puts 200 more hp and calls it finished.

Not bad I just don't want them to do to the Challenger what they did to the mustang too damn many variants. As for a 350Z, he must have run against a 6 cylinder Challenger, because my SRT8 kills 350Z without breaking a sweat.

If only it were just a little lighter! I saw a Challenger on the street and it looked pretty bad ass!

Its a fantastic blvd cruiser but sports car def not. Great looks and great engine, but if it could shed some weight it would be an all around great car.
