SEALY, Texas — Hennessey Performance, which brought you such fantasy-inducing marvels as the Venom 1000 Twin Turbo, has announced an upgrade kit for the new Dodge Challenger even before the first production car leaves the assembly line.
Hennessey's Challenger SRT700 Turbo looks like a screamer, too. The tuning house has boosted the displacement of the Challenger SRT8's 6.1-liter Hemi V8 to 7.0 liters, added a turbocharger and ratcheted output and torque to 725 horsepower and 750 pound-feet, respectively. The company says that's enough juice to propel the SRT700 Turbo from zero to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds; the quarter-mile run takes 11.3 seconds and top speed is clocked at 190 mph.
If that's a little too much kick, Hennessey also offers milder stages of tune: 530 hp and 500 hp.
The company plans to make only 25 copies of the SRT700 Turbo.
What this means to you: Hennessey demonstrates how to put the muscle in "muscle car." — Paul Lienert, Correspondent
