Is a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Drag Pack Being Made?

Have you been wanting more power for the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat?  Is 707 horsepower just not enough.  For those that believe that, there is some good news.  Rumor has it that Dodge is putting together a new package to give the Hellcat even more performance power.

Torque News has the break down.  In it they discuss the possibility that Dodge is readying a new “Drag Pack.”  This rumor stretches back from last year and has been a hot topic with Hellcat fans.  One of the reasons for the strength of this rumor is thanks to the Dodge Demon.  That mighty muscle car is going to be limited to only 3,300, so it stands to reason that Dodge would want to use the technology of the Demon in something else.  And that is where the Hellcat Drag Pack could be coming from.

Elements of the Demon that could make the leap over to the Hellcat to increase performance could be something like the Air Grabber hood or similar tires.  Any one of the many reasons why the demon was able to pull off the incredible technological feats it was capable of could find themselves helping to bring the Hellcat back into the spot light with the addition of this drag pack.  If it exists, hopefully we’ll found out soon.  Until then, would you want to see a performance drag pack for the Challenger Hellcat?

Dodge Viper Gets 700 Extra Horsepower With New Venom 800 Package from Hennessey Performance

Venom 800 Package

When you think of a vehicle that doesn’t seem to need any more power added to it, it is the SRT Dodge Viper.  True performance obsessed fans though never see enough as enough.  That’s why the folks at Hennessey Performance have tweaked the Viper to give it even more power with a 700 horsepower upgrade.

Why not make it so that the Dodge Viper can go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds.  When it comes to power, the Dodge Viper deserves what it can get from gearheads willing to mess around with it.  This new monstrosity they have created, the Venom 800 package, is only for the most metal of Viper drivers.

Hennessey Performance accomplished this goal by keeping the 8.4-liter V10 engine but upgraded numerous parts like an intercooler, high-flow injectors and even a 3-inch stainless steel exhaust.  That exhaust has one that apparently doubles as a flame-thrower.  Again, that’s how hardcore this Venom 800 package seems to be.

Check out the video Hennessey Performance has put together for the Venom 800 and try to resist the urge to rush out and get this crazy machine.  Or don’t and just watch where you point that flame-thrower.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Red Vapor Limited Edition Coming to Dealerships

Jeep Grand Cherokee Red Vapor SRT

Jeep and SRT have put together a new limited edition of the Grand Cherokee SRT called the Red Vapor.

SRT loves to see what they can get out of the cars they’ve been given if the Hellcat models of the Charger and Challenger are anything to go by.  For Jeep, being able to push 707 horsepower isn’t a priority but that doesn’t mean the engineers can’t come up with something creative.  The Red Vapor is a sports performance variant that can get top speeds of 160 mph, not too shabby for a SUV.

The Red Vapor was first shown off this last October at the Paris Motor Show.  It has an incredibly attractive red paint job with a glossy black grille.  The interior includes leather covering everything from the seats to the steering wheel and a back-lit SRT badge to really drive home the notion you just bought yourself a premium Grand Cherokee.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Red Vapor Limited Edition should be making its way out to the dealership soon.  It might be late for Valentine’s Day, but this is the SRT Jeep for red-lovers.
