Specific power figures are still being withheld, but Hurst claims the car will produce 500-plus horsepower (373+kW). Participating dealers will get the cars early next year, available in a four-trim range, labeled as 'stages'. Some of the features that will be shared across the lineup include Hurst shifters and five-spoke alloy wheels.
Exactly what level of equipment each will feature will remain to be seen at SEMA, but the Stage 1 through Stage 3 vehicles will be targeted at a price range of about $10,000 to $20,000 above MSRP, reports Edmunds, putting the overall vehicle cost around $50,000 to $60,000 once added to the $37,995 base price of the SRT8. Stage 4 cars will wait until later in 2009, and will be special-order only with a range of unique colors and options.
Already Saleen has introduced its line of aftermarket superchargers for the Challenger, and Dodge itself has said the 2009 model will feature a blower to boost power. The factory-special drag race package car is an example of what can be done when the factory gets involved in making a truly intense modified Challenger, but the Hurst model aims at a streetable, somewhat more tame, design.
