Chrysler is reviving its classic Super Bee and Yellow Jacket monickers at next week's LA Auto Show. Based on the Charger SRT8 and Challenger SRT8 respectively, both cars get a fresh coat of "P***y Magnet" yellow paint, and a slew of badges and similarly-colored interior bits n' pieces. More »

It might look like an average 2007 Jeep SRT8 at first glance, but from the moment this twin turbo beast launches, it becomes very clear this one is anything but average. More »

Last week we showed you a Corvette Z06 racing a Koenigsegg CCXR at the mile long Moscow Unlimited, with surprising results. We would hardly call this footage from the same event a race (we aren't sure what happened to the BMW) but the results are certainly still surprising. Sure it's a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 and it's no slouch from the factory, but any combination of SUV and low 11 second 1/4 mile remains pretty impressive in our book. More »

This old video of a beaten up Chevy S-10 taking down a newish Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 in an oval race has taken on a second life on the web. People are outraged. Hang the S-10 driver! Ban him from the track! The reality is: it's the Jeeper's fault. More »

It's not a secret amongst tuners that an abnormally large percentage of the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8's are exported two kind of people: Russians or people I've heard euphemistically referred to as "Latin American businessmen." Seriously. And these "Latin American businessmen" will be pleased as cocaine-laced punch when they hear the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8's getting the same 6.4-liter HEMI V8 found in the just released 2012 Charger SRT8.

The 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 isn't the random number license output from Arizona's DMV, it's a limited edition 475hp Challenger we told you to expect last month. But where's the three-second 0-to-60 time Dodge's CEO allegedly promised? [Chrysler] More »

Here's some hotness bound for the endless halls of SEMA — a pair of heavily massaged widebody Dodge Challengers by Classic Design Concepts. Outside, the Challengers get shaker hoods, a very snazzy wire mesh grille, and extra wide composite fenders which are particularly slick in the back, presenting a bulged-out version of the famous billboard side stripes. Under those fenders are 10-inch wide wheels in the front and 11.5 inchers out back, stopped by massive Baer brakes. Those big brakes will be put to good use as both Challengers get supercharged, with a Vortech in the black version and the Procharger in the white. Think 560 HP; now that's a proper power-to-weight ratio. Details and more pictures below the fold. More »

As a nod towards successful design mixed with an automaker willing to give 'em way all willy-nilly, this year's SEMA show will be chock-full of Dodge Challengers. We've already seen the Coach Builders 560 HP drop-top Challenger. Now we've got Group Five Limited bringing us this Challenger Roadster for two. The heavily chopped windscreen plus a sleek tonneau cover over the rear seats are both essential modifications in making this roadster one bad lad of a speedster. More below the jump plus another shot of the chopped-up Challenger. More »

Sweet gods of motoring modification, is nothing holy? Hotchkis will be bringing a pair of heavily modified Dodge Challengers to this year's SEMA show in Vegas. We've no problem with the modded 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 they're towing to the show. No, our problem is with the other — a 1970 T/A 340 Six-Pack. We don't have much info on the new Challenger, but we do know the paint scheme will match the vintage one shown — which is not an original 340 Six Pack, thankfully. And the paint is just the beginning of the modifications. More »

After seeing Top Gear UK boys hitting the streets of Reno in a Cadillac CTS-V, Dodge Challenger SRT8 and Corvette ZR1, we now know where they were headed — the Bonneville Salt Flats. This mess of pictures pretty much confirm that TGUK will be pushing the cars to their terminal velocity while making quips about Mormons and polygamy — and all while — umm — wearing baseball caps? Sure, whatever floats their British boats. It also looks like James May has taken a liking to a polished-up Shelby Cobra that was at the flats as well. We don't know if that'll sneak into the segment or if he's just geeking out, but Carroll Shelby will probably be suing his ass anyway. More »

We're stoked that Chrysler is offering a Dodge Challenger Drag Pak turn-key racer, but how exactly do you go about ordering one from your local Dodge dealer? Since these mighty Mopars are going to be limited production, you gotta prove you're worthy. First, you're required to submit your application in writing to a dealer, who will then fax it to Mopar Motorsports' secret lair. Keep in mind that this is all first-come first-served, so you probably want to get a fax confirmation to make sure your paperwork went through. But what qualifications will buyers have to meet?

The folks at Hennessey have finally revealed the quarter-mile time on their mad-crazy Challenger SRT600 — and it's a pretty-stellar-by-Mopar-standards 11.9 seconds, with a top speed of 121 MPH. Although we already knew from our exclusive visit to the Hennessey compound, the Hennessey Challenger SRT600 churns outs 536 HP and 582 lb-ft of torque at the wheels, we'd been waiting to see just how fast it would be. Well, now we know, and we've got video from the Texas-based tuners to prove it. More »

Based on spy photos the Detroit News appears to have received from a reader, Jeep's hot-rod mid-size SUV may soon be able to pull your boat. According to their report, the 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 has been spotted with the dual center-mounted exhaust outlets moved to one-per-side, and the test mule was seen pulling a trailer. Jeep hasn't revealed any power numbers for the next Jeep SRT8, but we have to believe they should at least match the current Grand Cherokee SRT8's 425 HP and 420 lb-ft of torque. Last time we looked that was plenty of pulling power for most suburban enthusiasts. [Detroit News] More »

Last month's review of the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 may have seemed to some a blinding orgy of Detroit love. Having just moved from Detroit to New York City, I was homesick and was seemingly in need of a shot of Motor City muscle. Still, I offer no apology, because despite the rose-colored glasses, I managed to outline the three glaring issues with the low-volume '08 model year Challenger SRT8 — the outdated interior, the weight and most importantly, the automatic transmission. After spending a day this past week driving the new 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T, SRT8 and SE on the roads of New York City and on the Raceway Park track at Englishtown, NJ, Dodge has fixed at least one-third of the Challenger's problems. That's a good thing for Dodge, because I left the rose-colored glasses back in Detroit. More »

Our buddy Scott Burgess over at the Detroit News has taken on the rekindled problem of which ponycar now reigns supreme. With the Ford Mustang GT500 and its thousands of variations, the reborn Dodge Challenger (now in SRT8 flavor), and the recently unveiled Chevy Camaro all vying for eyes, there won't be enough Calvin-peeing-on-competitor decals to go around. Though the conclusion is left up in the air, Scott still provides an amusing simile while comparing the Ford to Chuck Norris with a Bowflex. [Detroit News] More »

When this article, nominating the ten best cars in which to play the hooligan, slid across our screens, we almost dismissed it as another high-powered, high-dollar, fried-tire fest. We're glad we took a look though, as Car und Driver actually put together a pretty entertaining and largely nontraditional set of cars we want and ones we'd love to hoon around in. Of course, obvious choices like the Corvette Z06 and Dodge Charger SRT8 are in there, but it's the others which not only raise eyebrows, but also concepts in deviance. [CarAndDriver] More »

While Wert spent last week behind the wheel of the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8, I had the muscle car's big, boorish bear of a brother, the 2008 Dodge Charger SRT8. The two cars may come off the same production lines, but I'm finding myself using a different set of adjectives than the petals of flowery prose Wert scattered in front of the Challenger's tires. The Charger SRT8 is pitifully crude, boorish and obnoxious. As far as high performance goes, it's a complete piece of shit. But it's the most badass, tire-spinning, smoke-billowingly fun piece of shit we've ever driven.

Feast your eyes on one of only two Vortech-supercharged 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8's — blacked out, naturally. The Challenger SRT8 already makes 425 HP with the 6.1-liter Hemi, but would you believe this supercharged monster is currently dynoing at 540 HP and 500 lb-ft of torque? You know that scene in cartoons when the junkyard dogs see a sexy lady-dog saunter past and their eyes bug out of their heads and their tongues hit the floor as they start panting uncontrollably? Yeah, we just did that. More »
