The 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 has only been in production for a little over a month, and so far deliveries have been largely limited to high-profile buyers. But that isn't about to stop tuners from kicking the 425 horsepower beast up a few notches Mopar specialist Speedfactory has gotten their hands on a new SRT8, and has already given the car a supercharged performance package that reportedly is good for a whopping 600 horsepower.


Based out of Georgia, Speedfactory works on Chrysler LX and LY platform vehicles and can either provide new, turnkey cars with factory warranties or install extra goodies on your existing 300, Magnum, or Charger (they do Dodge Rams and Jeep Grand Cherokees as well). Currently a work in progress, their State 1 Challenger package includes a centrifugal style supercharger good for 5.5 lbs of boost, suspension tuning, 20-inch forged wheels (the ones pictured are just for testing, new ones are coming), and special Speedfactory interior and exterior add-ons. Step up to Stage 2 and the company turns up the boost to 8 lbs, which helps Dodge's 6.1-liter Hemi make 630 horsepower but unfortunately voids the warranty. And if you're looking to turn your muscle coupe into a genuine Lambo-fighter you can always opt for Speedfactory's proposed Stage 3 package, which includes a complete motor rebuild with performance racing components, lowered compression, a custom boost configuration, and more. The tuner estimates this gives the Challenger an unreal 800 horsepower at the crankshaft.

Speedfactory will be releasing complete specs on its Stage 1 Challenger SRT8 soon, and the car will be put up for sale by an Atlanta-area Dodge dealer. So if you're one of the lucky 6400 to get a 2008 Challenger but feel 0 to 60 in 4.7 seconds still isn't fast enough, check out the Speedfactory site they should be able to help.

If we thought the old Challengers were legends and they are... this new Challenger will be resetting the bar. And setting it real high This cars potential is limited by your pocketbook only. Great package from the turn of the key and as you mod it only gets stronger. I've seen a superchrged version that is already on the street and boasts over 600 HP Another unnamed tuner has a turbo version that is cranking out 700+ So let the legend begin and this time it has a lot of comfort to give as the nanos make it a tech treat too. This new Challenger ROCKs and gives all you can take.

 

Wonder what it would be capable of with just bolt ons and no forced induction?

 

If you look at the website listed it tells you what it is capable of in terms of HP.
