'09 Hemi - 4/11/2008 6:04:14 PM    RenoRob   Posts: 33 Joined: 11/8/2007 Status: offline   When I saw that the 09 Ram was getting a 380 horse Hemi I was excited and hoped we would see the performance gains in the street cars as well. I was playing on the Dodge website and it shows the 09 Challenger R/T having 370 horse and finally a six speed manual available as well. Good news all around. Although I find it a bit odd that the truck hemi has more stock horse than the car when in the past it has been the other way around. The SRT8 remains unchanged at 425. The Future looks brite!   -Rob _____________________________ Life is a Highway- Go Mopar! TopBanana #772 Post #: 1
