OLD SCHOOL TO NEW SCHOOL: SRT HEMI V8



Previously owned by Alice Cooper, this 6.1-liter SRT HEMI V8 engine with 425-horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, SRT-8 Challenger has come back after Dodge ceased production more than 34 years ago. Funny how this new HEMI makes as much as the old-school 426 Hemi, but with 3 times the gas mileage, while meeting strict federal emission requirements.

This is the LAST of the Mopar Muscle Car...literally. With a whole new government regime, and Chrysler now becoming Fiat, I don’t think we will ever see anything like this again. When my 5 year old son gets his license, this beast may actually be worth something. We’ll see when I go to the Barrett Jackson Auto auction in the year 2020!!!
