Hennessey Performance Engineering is still working on their tuned version of the new Dodge Challenger SRT8 and work is progressing very positively. The latest news from Hennessey is that its 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT600 Turbo can scream down a quarter-mile in 11.9 seconds at 194.73km/h (See the video here).
Hennessey is offering two versions of the Challenger SRT600 Turbo. One produces 456kW with a peak torque of 881Nm while the other produces 478kW with a torque of 921Nm. Both get extra power from Garrett 67mm Ball-Bearing Turbocharger, stainless steel turbo headers and other modifications. The 456kW Challenger SRT600 Turbo does zero to 100km/h in 3.8 seconds while the 478kW version does it in 3.6 seconds.
Other modifications include a transmission upgrade, adjustable suspension, 6-piston front brakes and 4-pistons in the rear, a polished intake manifold, Hennessey embroidered head rests, 20-inch wheels and SRT600 Turbo exterior graphics kit.
