No, it's not the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. Not everything can be the Hellcat. (Sadly.) But this bold green coupe represents SRT's debut in Trans Am racing, starting at Mid-Ohio this weekend.

Miller Racing is fielding two Challengers at the race, and one of them will be driven by four-time series champion Tommy Kendall, who makes his return to Trans Am racing after a 10 year hiatus.

Automobile says the cars sport a naturally aspirated 6.3-liter Hemi V8, good for 499 horsepower, mated to a four-speed manual. Not as powerful as the Hellcat, but lighter thanks to being stripped out for racing duty, and probably faster too thanks to a racing suspension and tires.

Lookin' mighty fine, racing Challenger.
