Rumors are starting that there might be a little sand-bagging going on... might just be wishful thinking though...?

Quote:
Apparently during the presentation for the 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8’s and limited 392 editions, Dodge brand CEO Ralph Gilles was quoted as saying the cars would hit 0-60 MPH in the 3-second zone, indicating an actual horsepower number much higher than 475.

For comparison sake, the mighty 556HP Cadillac CTS-V runs 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. Further, the Cadillac was being tested by Chrysler workers along with the 6.4L 2012 Charger SRT8 and the 555HP BMW X5M with the 2012 Grand Cherokee SRT8.
Trying to find out what Ralph Gilles actually said...
