SRT Is Back: Stellantis Relaunches Its Performance Division, And Hellcats Are Coming With It
hmmmm?

 

[Paladin06]

Where’s my checkbook?

 

[fumanchu182]

Ive moved on. Dealerships have ruined Dodge. Wont buy one again.

 

[Speedy!]

This is great news and a big step in the right direction.

I think the problem is budget and development time. Will be 4 or 5 years I'd think for new products?

The new Charger platform needs to be scrapped and start from a blank slate.

The new charger platform is DOA. They need a sedan and coupe people want, with 6.4 and hellcat offerings. Not going to happen

Who knows what SRT has up its sleeve?
My guess it's going to be something spectacular.

 

[RetiredFirefighter]

I never "believed":

In global warming
In recycling trash
That we were running out of oil
COVID was natural
COVID was a serious threat (other than a political fascist threat)
In the (undocumented, unquestionable) "science" (consensus ) we were supposed to believed
That socialism ever worked, anywhere
Politics is not corrupt
I could go on for days...

I see no path for the investment required to duplicate anything other than a HC truck or Jeep as they have don't even have a platform to start with. Unless they have make a 800hp V8 Hornet!

Sorry.

Stellantis CEO: We really f'ked up! What do we do now?
Stellantis consensus: Try going backward in time!
CEO: Let's do that!

I wonder how hard it would be to just dust off the old platform with some quality of life tweaks and pick back up. Although, they've shuttered all of the assembly plants and presumably all the tooling required so I don't know if that's feasible.

Well, I would presume they'd keep the press molds--those are probably archived and cost $$$ to make.
But, I think the bigger problem is they stopped the supply chain. They could probably retool the factory to reinstate the line (no different than retooling for a different line), but it takes many months to sometimes over a year to get the supply chain flowing for all the parts to arrive.

I don't know the previous gen will get what they need sales wise. Its sorta played out and they need something new.

Having said that a Redeye 170 might carry them a year or two.

I dunno. How many years straight have the Mustang and Camaro continued--even without staying true to their retro styling? Sure maybe the Charger/Challenger are due for a refresh--but if they don't stay true to the retro body lines it might not be as successful.

I think if they come up with something slightly smaller (lighter!) and offer the same range of engines it would be a big hit.

And of course keep offering Hemis in the trucks. Turbo 6s are for other stuff--not big American trucks. Put the Turbo 6 in the minivans, SUVs, high-end sedans, whatever, but don't try to push them on truck buyers.

I agree, a Redeye 170 would likely sell very well--assuming they can keep the price a bit lower and keep away the ADMs.

The problem is they fired all their programmers. That’s why 15-17 lacks with their DC offerings. If they would back port the flex fuel they’d make a lot of money
