Challenger SRT8 Dyno Test

Challenger SRT8 Dyno Test
It seems MagnaFlow Performance Exhaust has been having a bit of dyno fun with the new Dodge Challenger SRT8

The SRT8's already got a 6.1L Hemi V8 that's good for 425 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque but why stop there? Since more is always better, as this video shows, why not see what a dual inlet/outlet 18in. resonator, dual 11in. rear Mufflers, a 3in. system and dual rear exit without tips will do for you?

Apparently, a fair amount! 12 horsepower and 18 lb-ft, to be exact, which makes this particular Challenger 437 horses strong, with 438 lbs of grunt to back it up. Nice!

Top Gear Magazine shoot with NEW Challenger SRT8

Top Gear Magazine shoot with NEW Challenger SRT8

The new Dodge Challenger has taken the car show circuit by storm lately but what is it like on the road? Our friend Andrew Yeadon from CarPix invited the StreetFire video crew along for an exclusive shoot with Mopar's new muscle. This particular shoot was very special as it was the first time the new Hemi-powered Dodge was photographed and videotaped outside of Chrysler's own marketing. What's even cooler is that this particular shoot was for the famous Top Gear Magazine. Look for it at newsstands in the very near future. This is actually the second time Andrew has been assisted by StreetFire.

Check out the February 2008 issue of Top Gear Magazine for our last collaboration. On page 111 there is spread on the Callaway C16 Speedster.

This video has a little of everything in it. Watch as the Challenger cruises down the old El Toro airstrip in Southern California alongside its 1970 counterpart and learn some tricks of photographing automobiles from our friend Andrew Yeadon.

Also, make sure you check out CarPixArchive for some of the most amazing automobile photography you will ever see! Andrew has been kind enough to offer ALL STREETFIRE members a 30% discount on any purchases. Get your favorite ride on everything from posters to coffee mugs. Make sure you use the special code "StreetFire1X" (case-sensitive) to get the discount.

Not your average Policeman

Wouldn't the world be a better place if all members of law enforcement were a little more like this guy? Okay, well maybe it wouldn't but a HEMI powered police car is a big improvement over the Crown Vic.
