Sometimes it feels like auto news is just rumors about this and rumors about that. It is on days like today that it finally feels nice to talk about something concrete. In this case, it is regarding a new engine that Chrysler has been working on which they have now revealed.

The rumor was that a new engine was being developed by the nickname of ‘Hellcat.’ It was supposed to be the answer to allow the SRT team get a more powerful engine capable of competing with rival supercars. Turns out that the rumor is in fact true. Chrysler announced that the new engine is a 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 engine.

The new V-8 engine will be put to use in both the SRT Dodge Charger and Challenger. The two SRT Dodge vehicles just got a new look and update that was shown off at the 2014 New York Auto Show with rumors of all-new versions coming in 2018.

What about the name of ‘Hellcat?” According to Automobile mag, who also covered the reveal of the new engine, the future of the Hellcat is still in flux. The spy photos of a Challenger with a hood scoop is not been designated Hellcat yet. He says that the name has been assigned to yet so there might still be a Hellcat surprise down the road.

The question of which is faster is an absurd thing that happens all the time. Is this car faster than that one? Is the bus faster than the MTA? Is Flash faster than Superman? It really is the age old question. With regards to the 2014 SRT Viper, speed is a major selling point, so asking the faster question makes sense. How does it stack up to other supercars? That might be a good question, but the real question one must ask is if the Viper is faster than a jet.

On the surface, that question seems pretty ridiculous. However, someone did have the audacity to put the challenge of the Viper vs Jet question to the test. While you might think otherwise, the results of the race may shock you. Check out the amazing video:

There you have it, the SRT Viper manages to out-race a F-16 Fighting Falcon. Someone attach jets to the Viper and let’s get to work on making flying cars happen. If you own a Viper, you now have bragging rights to say to friends you can out run a fighter jet.

SRT is always looking for, and finding, news ways to spruce up the SRT Viper. It’s clear that one thing the engineers like to do is be constantly and consistently poking at the machine to see what new boosts they can put into it. The most recent upgrade was shown off to the world at the New York International Auto Show. SRT is combining the Viper Anodized Carbon Special Edition Package with the new Time Attack Group road-racing spec-package.

The SRT Viper Anodized Carbon Edition will be produced in a small and limited run. Only 50 will be produced and only 10 of that bunch will carry the new Time Attack Group package. A numbered plague on the dash will identify just which model the Viper is.

The new SRT Viper has a carbon fiber rear deck lid spoiler with a two-piece front corner splitter to provide more weight for more down force. Also included in the package is the two-mode Bilstein dampers used to optimize on track performance.

The inside is as classy as the outside is fierce. The interior is draped in Alcantara and orange stitching. The knee blockers are wrapped in Alcantara while the vent accents are in orange and the trim in carbon-fiber to accent the interior.

“We’ve received an overwhelming response to the unique Metallic Matte exterior color since first showing the Anodized Carbon Special Edition Viper late last year,” said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO – SRT Brand and Motorsports. “So we’re adding even more exclusivity with 10 distinctive SRT Vipers that combine our special exterior color with the new Time Attack Group of performance parts to offer our customers mind-boggling limits on their favorite road courses.”
