Lightbulb Ford GT500 OFFICAL HP RELEASE

Looks like our boyz @ Mopar had better kick the hp on up to @ least 500hp.

I think we'll be ok if the srt-8 version of the hemi challenger is the 6.4L with 500+hp,....however if they stick with the 6.1 L that they have in their 4dr. srt-8 family sedans,....you might want to rethink your decision as far as power is concerned,...as IMO, the Shelby GT500 will beat it. However both cars as far as looks,...look very cool indeed!

Or a 6.1 with a supercharger on it!

Re: Ford GT500 OFFICAL HP RELEASE

Guys, I think it's important to remember that the challenger has only 50hp less, and that's without the help of a superchager. I'm sure with a few basic mods u can easily get up to 475hp.
