OK, this and all the other stuff people are doing to their 08s brings up a question. When there was such a holdup in the cars being delivered (remember the picture of hundreds of them in a parking lot in Brampton), there was a rumor that the Challengers had to be detuned because the platform flexed too much. If this was true, isn't anyone who jacks up the HP running the risk of damaging the car? Or was it determined that the cars WEREN'T detuned at the factory?

I think you must have missed that rumor earlier this year.

As for the Hennessy, that badly operated business in Houston is not going to get my money.

Have you guy's heard about his Turbo setup for the Challenger?? Even he say's he thinks he could get more out of it... I think he was somewhere near 550hp... not really that impressive if you ask me... ohh well... I think I read it in the new Automobile mag....
