Hennessey Challenger SRT600, Exclusive First Pictures And Power Numbers

Last week we showed you first pictures of it undergoing the transformation into a turbocharged monster and now we've got pictures straight from Hennessey HQ of the car in final trim. We've also got dyno numbers from yesterday's testing to answer the obvious question: How much power is going to those fat rear wheels? Read on.
