620 HP Hennessey Challenger Hits the Streets with Eleven Second Quarter Mile Force   Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE) is well known for its ability to take fast Mopars--such as the Dodge Viper--and make them go faster. The all-new Challenger SRT8 has just hit the streets with its 6.1L Hemi V-8 and in traditional fashion HPE already has performance upgrade packages available.

Now Challenger owners can have Viper and ZR1-like power in the form of 620 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. 2008-08-28
