Change intake, exhaust, and re-chip it with a raise in rev limit. I bet you could pull 525.
That is killer torque though, and just think what it would do with the auto tranny on the straight.
Build up the bottom end, re work the heads, put in a turbo on each bank, 900-1000?

I'd like to see the NA V8 AWD GTO come over from the Aussie's. And Zak is right, a few changes here and there and it would be killer.

Ford has some cool stuff down under as well... And in Europe too.
But hey, a HEMI is a HEMI, right? It's a shame that Dodge seems to be one of the only american car manufacturers that is actually being creative with their designs that don't end up looking terrible. Go figure.
(must be the benz in them)

Chrysler has had a great design department since the early 90's, too bad quality engineering has lagged behind. perhaps the "merger" [cough *takeover* cough] will help in the QC department?
I know that the new Challenger concept is about 11ty billion times better looking than the Camaro concept. that Challenger makes me want to start smoking again so I can sit at stop lights with a pack of Lucky Strikes rolled up in the sleeve of my white t-shirt. seriously.

I totally agree with you Colin. Some of the new Dodges look good. I've always had a soft spot for the Viper, I just love the engine and the look of that car. I wish it was as quick as the new Z06 though! BTW, anyone else notice that APS is making stuff for the Vette now? Check out the
twin intercooled/twin turbo setup!
CN: 694.7HP / ~640ft/lbs

I'll just take any of the LPE packages... The one for the CTS-V looks nice: 530 BHP @ 6000 RPM
530 lbs-ft of torque @ 4600 RPM
