Love it, I’m always baffled how we got from 390 HP to 500, (some kind of mystical think going on tere.) Then you jump to 700 hp, Very respectable, however have you seen how much this thing weights. Sure wish you guys could it get it back to it’s 70′s trim. That there would be a rocket.
Yes I think the SMS 570 is awesome. But why not put a supercharger on 6.1L V8 Hemi like the Challenger SRT8 has? I guess it could be done. What would be the price?
By the way, why hasn’t someone bring back the Road Runner?
