1st HPE600 Dodge Challenger

Hello everyone, I was in H town today at Northwest Dodge signing some papers for a used Charger that my son bought there and NW Dodge had the first HPE600 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Yellow Jacket on the show room floor! My brother n law is the GM there and he said it had just came in and Hennessy had finally cracked into the computer to do the supercharger install! Sure enough, I checked the Hennessy tag under hood and it had Serial # 01 !!!
Love my Camaro and don't ever plan on getting rid of it, but I don't knock the other guys either, they have some good machines!
Will post some Pics when I get them transferred from my phone to my IPad!!

Side bar: How do you post pictures here from your ipad? I haven't had any luck with that. I always have to do it from my laptop.

70,289.00! 36,000 or 3 yr Hennessy and bumper to bumper, 5 yr power train!
It was something like 53k and some change + 15k for the Hennessy package! Total as stated above !! 600 is a whole lot of horses!

Just an FYI. Hennessey didn't crack it. It was first released from Chrysler to Arrington engines & Arrow @ SEMA . It looks like Hennessey offers up 700 HPE Package

There are way better options and results out there. You can supercharge a 392 for around $8500 - $10,000 installed and PCM dyno tuned with the results of 570rwhp.

but then you lose your warranty. And im sure there is more for the package than just the blower. Most of the other HPE packages come with other upgrades as well. But it is definitely a chunk of change. Can't believe they still want 53k for a Challenger SRT-8

2012 Mustang GT is correct. We're the only ones offering a warranty, and as shown by the car at Northwest Dodge, not voiding the factory warranty.

Sonic 656, I don't like the cognac either.
