Default RE: Sema Challenger S/S Pics, Movies and more


ORIGINAL: wallstreetman

If you don't think the 392(from now on Im talking cubic inches) will be offered in the Challenger, YOU NEED YOUR HEAD EXAMINED!
It might not be a matter of if I will need it, it might be more a case of if it can be offered. As I have said before, from what I have read the 370 (6.1L) was having enough trouble passing emission regulations in its 69.7 hp per liter set up (or 1.15 hp per cubic), increasing the hp that much for such a small displacement boost will make it even more a challenge to pass the emission regulation tests. Also as Patrick explained, they might be a little uneasy about adding an engine that will not be too far behind the Viper.

I think they should offer it if they can, they just might need to increase the displacement to get this kind of power out of it and they might have to make the upcoming Viper even more powerful than they originally intended to do so.

not to seem skeptical, but are there any sources more official than lxforums and autoblog? who presented that car at SEMA? mopar?
A good observation. I've looked around some more but it seems as though it is hard to come up with a more official source. I hope it is true though.
