6.4 Liter Hemi coming to 2011 Dodge Challenger - 480HP

From AB

*****
First and foremost among the predicted changes on the 2011 Dodge
Challenger SRT-8 is more power from an enlarged 6.4-liter Hemi: a
bump of 55 horsepower and 40 pound-feet of torque. That would put the
big coupe at 480 ponies and 460 lb-ft., and rumor also has it that
power will get to the wheels through an eight-speed automatic
transmission developed by Chrysler and ZF. Also according to Allpar's
inside man, output levels will remain the same on the R/T model, while
the base SE will get Pentastar V6 engines with 40 more horses and 20
more lb-ft, for 290 hp and 270 lb-ft. in total.

Most of the other supposed changes seem meant to make life easier for
Chrysler and Challenger buyers. The floorpan is being reworked so the
car fits more easily into Charger and 300 production, an electric
power steering pump is coming onboard and an upgraded interior is in
the offing. Cosmetically, the muscle car picks up the Charger's door
handles, the Magnum wagon's hatch release button for its trunk, and
the lower front grille gets turned upside down.
