Boy do I feel like a sucker.  What are they?  (Viper?)

I'm guessing I'll find out eventually.

official release of this redline charger 426 kit most likely is one of them

Wouldn't it be nice if it were street legal.

[fargo59]

it wont.

[dakrt99]

Here are my 4 guesses:


Mopar '13 Durango
Mopar '13 Avenger
Mopar '13 Dart
Mopar '13 Wrangler

[Mopar392]

1- we might see the rumored supercharger
2- H.O. 392 Challenger
3- Ram SRT392
4- ...

It's their 75th anni. which leads me to think they ought to bring the most bad@$$ cars..

Well they all use the same basic rear axle.  The upgraded stuff has appeared on other 300s

With all the Mopar '11s still sitting on lots... Makes me wonder how many dealers will actually order them.

It appears that they built far more '11s than '10s.

I was really hoping for something other than the 300... I should have just accepted that the obvious was gonna happen.  I just don't know of a 300 was the best choice.

hmm, well at least they gave a nod that they're working on calibrations. i just hope they dont get released as people leave the market.

the dart had some interesting pieces, though they all felt a tad "thrown together" IMO.

[dakrt99]

Any websites to see this live?

Agreed 100% on both comments.  There are people out there that have over exaggerated the calibration stuff badly and already traded in cars because they can't be patient.  There are plenty f bolt ons to tie people over for a while.

Part of me says let em go, other part of me says aww crap.

Oh well, can't please them all.  C'est la vie

Link was on allpar both in News Briefs and on the the Forums.  Mopar.com had it on there front page.  Facebook had links and so did Twitter.

It pretty much over now.

Not anymore - since it ended moments ago.

I'm sure replays will be up in various places soon enough.

honestly, i can completely relate to them. if i hadnt done the work to my own car i'd be shopping outside the mopar brands. the dart has a chance, which keeps me excited. its not even out and they have a high output tune for it.

I agree with you to a certain extent.  Too many people think they should be able to mess with a car completely, but really don't know what they are doing.  Then they expect warranty to cover it after they messd it up.

It's a hard argument and a viscious circle anyway you look at it.  Too many people forget that you gotta pay to play.  The more power you get, the more money it takes.  The stakes rose exponentially.

PM me when you get a chance.
