Steve Saleen's cashing in big time on the new musclecars. 500-700 hp supercharged 5.7 Challengers. When does the Camaro version come out? http://www.allpar.com/news/#ni1416

Does anyone have a good guess as to why they chose to modify the 5.7 liter instead of the SRT8? Are the SRT8's not good at handling boost or something? Anyways those really are some impressive numbers. Makes me wonder why I havn't seen any 500+ hp Hemi Chargers

There are plenty of 500+ hp HEMI Chargers.

That thing is pushing 750 HP I believe.

I'm guessing that being the mid-level Challenger only comes with the 5.7 it will be more cost effective in purchasing the cars from Dodge before the conversion.
Roush does the same thing with the Mustangs, buying the cheap Deluxe models with just a couple of options because they're just going to gut most of it anyways.
