Default Our hopes are coming True 600+ HP Done Deal

Well I just got back from SEMA and as all have seen the Copper Cpe has a bump in HP.This will be a factory installed upgrade, that will be a special order from Dodge and not a dealer installed option.There is a small warranty issue that they are just working out.......... Now the big news is Yes we will have what I was told is well over 600HP by (they wouldn't say exactly) around the 2007 model.This is from a very very good source and as he said "done deal". My guess from my conversation is 625-650H yahoooooooooooooo

Steve,

The bump in power won't be from a Super Charger will it? That would definitely be the first component to be removed for those of the community that want Twin Turbos.

Thoughts?

Funny, because other solid rumors have said that there will be no model year 2007 for the Viper. Production of the gen III ends 8/31/06 and CAAP goes on shutdown until 1/2/07 when they will start building 2008 Vipers and 2008 Firepowers. The Gen IV Viper is supposed to have an 8.4L MPI V-10 that will exceed 600HP.

JGK -the bump in power is from a cam and some other mild things.Thats the factory upgrade that will be aval. very soon. As for the new 600hp+ from what I have heard is normally aspirated.The SRT motor right now in its marine form is putting out a very very conservative 625hp.I believe they used Illmore to develop that motor and have used there research and development to make sure 600+ hp will be reliable for the 100,000 plus miles an automobile motor has to deal with.
