I can't imagine how much this option would cost...

Wow! I want one! This might be a little late to the party when you look at the other two Heavy hitter's on the horizon....From General Moron's and Turd MotorCo

Hate to possibly rain on the parade .... And who knows how valid the info is - but there's a Chrysler 'insider' (supposedly an SRT engineer) who said this report was BS on Challengertalk. If I find the link I'll post it.

I hope he's BS.....

Who knows if it's true. It's hard to know who to believe. But I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility for 2013. Someone has to show those ugly GT500's who's boss!

I heard that Ralph Gilles would like to bring back the Magnum.

I saw those comments about the Magnum... If it's true, I'm very interested to see the new design. Imagine if they brought the Magnum back AND had a supercharged SRT8 version ?! That would be, without a doubt, the hottest production wagon in the last 50 years!

Look think about this. Dodge made the PCm un-crackable! You can think that in time the big PCm tuners will crack it? BUt I don't think that they will. I say it because the big boy Diablo CMR program for real is bullshit compaired to the CMR tunning programs out there for ford and chevy! Also the fact that the Hurst cars came with a factory warrenty with a supercharger and was highly expensive with bolt on parts! Showed Dodge now Fiat that they can make additional money with aftermarket parts. I beleve that they will offer a car with a supercharger they have no choice if they want to be able to go after the fords and chevys! And to remind you those fast cars come with a $80G price range! JUST LIKE THE HURST CAR!

Please remember your history Chevy camero z28 then became the SLP SS the first year Challenger Hurst car. What happend to the camero SLP SS the following year? It did not go to SLP they didi it in the factory instead of sending the car out! At least chevy kept SLP in the loop lol! In Dodge's case the let HUrst that bet the farm on Dodge die again!

Just my two cents!

The supercharger will be an option in 2013 and will make 555 hp this is from a plant worker and that is all I can say.
