Default RE: New Challenger Badge?

As with everything in the rhumor mill, you have to wonder about the accuracy and reliability of the source and the information.

Latest "word" is that the "SS" stands for "Super Stock", not Super Sport. The "source" says the "Super Stock" will have a bigger motor (somewhere in the neighborhood of 500+HP) and wear a hood scoop in place of the original concept's integrated "flaps".

Personally, I'm having a hard time getting past the "SS" moniker. While I could believe the SRT team would be working on something to meet or exceed the HP anticipated in the drivetrain packages the Camaro is supposed to be offered with (or even future Mustangs for that fact), I'm having trouble swallowing the new "Super Stock" badge when there are so many other "retro" badges they could use instead.

I guess we'll see when the reports and pictures come out of the SEMA show in a few weeks (and that doesn't even mean the car that's shown there will ever go into production, either).

Things that make ya go "Hmmmm......" .
