latest SRT Coupe news
Discussion
off the US forum:
According to a high placed DC corporate official (Not VCA) the long awaited announcement will be made on this forum this coming Friday AM. Due to the recent announcement of the 500 hp ZO6, the 450+ hp Mustang, and DC's own +600hp Mercedes as well as a 500 hp new Supra/Lexus.
The announcement of the long rumored and highly anticipated HEMI V-10.
Using the basic architecture of the SRT Hemi released in Jeep, Charger, Chrysler 300, and soon in the Dodge truck line the new HEMI V-10 will once again raise the bar.
Subject to final EPA/National Highway Safety Institute testing the HEMI V-10 will produce a HP output of in excess of 590 HP and 620 lb/ft torque.
This output will require the newly developed algorithim traction control, with launch control to allow maximum accelleration depending on available traction. This traction control has 4 levels of selection, from wet weather to off.
Those of you that have new Coupes on order will be very grateful. Please check back early Friday Morning for the official announcememt.

Or P
d that the second year of production sees a new engine and increase in HP. I thought they were already building the SRT coupes ready for release later this year. Rumours even go as far as them re skinning the SRT's soft tops that they already had in over stock. Will they really go back and put new heads on all the cars built or will there just be a Gen 3.5 followed by a Gen 4 with the new engine, much like they did in 96/7 with the RT
Great news though that they are upping the anti on the HP front but cant help feeling the hemi detracts from the uniqueness of the viper. With the HEMI having its own reputation which equals the viper it will no longer be THE Viper engine but rather a viper with a V10 HEMI.
So who has already placed an order then?
