Staring back at you from the 570X's engine bay is one of the best looking supercharged V8 mills in existence. Starting with Dodge's 5.7-liter Hemi, SMS bores and strokes it out to 6.4-liters (though SMS just informed us that they'll be going down to 6.2-liters by the time you read this). They don't start with the larger 6.1-liter in the Challenger SRT8 because it's already been bored/stroked to different dimensions. Plus, the 5.7-liter motor comes standard in the Challenger R/T, which is SMS's starting point. Now you can get a non-fettled motor hooked up to a supercharger and that will net you around 500 ponies. This car is called simply SMS 570.

Wow, I actually really like it. I think it would be better without chrome wheels, though.

What a beast! I wonder how much the retro styling hurts the drag at the higher speeds it's capable of?

The chrome wheels que from the world of streetrods where chrome wheels are still pretty common. It also adds a certain 'production car' look to it that would be lost if they were say, black. Still, I don't see why a titanium or non-polished wheel isn't an option. That would look both production and clean at the same time.

For the price I would rather have a super snake or a vette.

What's the price and what's a super snake?

Super Snake is the Mustang with ~700hp.

Wow, production cars are getting crazy fast. 10s with full street trim on 93 octane.

The Super Snake is sick. Also the Speedfactory has a Challenger that's supposed to be pretty nice. MT did a comparrison of the Speedfactory Challenger, Shelby Super Snake and the Hennessey HPE650 Camaro, and while all three where rediculously badars the comaro ultimatly won.

What's the price range of these?

Beckham · November 13th

I'd guess $85k+

Samir · November 13th

Not bad. So around the price of a stock z06.
