Funny you would post that considering it has a Packard built rolls Royce Merlin. Chrysler wishes they could build motors like that. Funny thing about the American Merlins, only Packard could build them well enough to carry the Rolls name and their time to overhaul was more than the native built Merlins. A client of mine has one in his garage sitting on a stand in a display. 1600hp... Yes plz!!!

Its about time Dodge stepped it up. The dyno runs I’ve seen with srt8’s have been miserable compared to Fords 5.0, barely getting 300 to the wheels. Can’t wait to see this hellcat go mile racing. There weren’t many challengers last year but there were a ton of nasty kenne bell mustangs putting down respectable times. Airtech, Billys car, is ridiculous.

Then you haven't seen many, or only sick ones. My stock SRT8 pulled 363 - which equates nicely to the advertised 425 flywheel horsepower.

Ford's new Coyote is a superb engine, no doubt. But the 800 extra pounds carried by the SRT8 make a bit of difference.
