New 392 Challenger runs 12.44 stock

Part of my daily routine is to check out Streetfire.net and see what new videos have been posted. Much to my disappointment, I came across this video of the New 392 Challenger running a 12.44; supposedly stock. If this really is stock... Oh boy, here we go again. Since I got my SS last year, I have never really feared the Challenger. This one is different. So, what might the SS have in store for 2012? There is already a rumor about a bump in hp.
Check it out.

Fresh in from LA Auto Show...

Here it is in static display. A good looking car IMHO. But it is NO Camaro.

it doesnt cost THAT much more than a loaded Camaro (or GT) and it is definately faster so you pay for that as well. I dont think the price is THAT bad.

even though ive already seen a bunch of Challengers with stripes on them already it still looks good. Those seats are ugly IMO and i can picture them looking even worse with age. Beautiful car though.

I don't know man. I think this badboy is going to be upwards of high 50's, before tax and title and MSRP markups. I mean, When R/T Chally's, brand new cost damn near as much as a new 2SS.

oh snaps, if thats the case then thats too rich for my blood. I thought Mid 40's were the target for the 392's. Mopars have always been more expensive......sigh i wish 1968 Dodge Chargers were affordable :(

Maybe not high 50's. I'm exaggerating. It's all speculation since no pricing has been released. But imagine that it'll probably be in the same range as the GT500, probably a little more.

Price is ALWAYS commensurate with speed and horsepower!

The pricing was released folks. The 2011 SRT starts at 42,555.

All the Challengers except for the SE I believe got a price cut, not a bump.
