In the ever changing modern horsepower wars, it was inevitable that we see a healthy bump for the Dodge Challenger. After all, it is by far the heaviest of the trio of modern muscle, alongside the Mustang and Camaro. And now this leaked info from a Dodge dealer document confirms that both the V6 and V8 variants of the 2011 Challenger will get more ponies.
The 3.6 liter V6 will get a nice increase up to 305hp and 268 lb-ft of torque. This constitutes a 50hp jump from the 2010 model's 3.5, along with an increase of 18 lb-ft of torque.
The 5.7 liter Hemi will see 379hp and 410 lb-ft, and the range topping SRT gets 475hp and 460 lb-ft from it's 6.4 liter V8. That represents a 50 hp increase for the big 6.4 and a whopping 40 more pound feet of torque. The 5.7 destined for the R/T model only sees a modest increase of 7 horsepower and ten pound feet.
