I ordered a 2010 Camaro 2SS in Inferno Orange with White stripes, - that was until I found out that the rally stripes had been changed to the 1992 heritage style.

My dealer is currently holding my order for the Bumble Bee package now estimated by GM for a June 09 announcement. Stripes on the Bumble bee will be more like the concept style which is a very good thing. Now if the Ducted hood on the TF2 Movie car makes it to production that would be VERY good.

Rally Yellow and Black stripes could be a very good looking combo. Reminds me of Daytona Yellow. Eye popping.

yea I know. With the quiet exhaust anf mild street tune it sure don't feel like 500 hp. But they run low 12's all day without touching a thing. Slicks, a tune puts it in the 11's.. The supersnake (725 hp) is deep in the 10's.. In fact MM&FF ran 10.8 with a bone stock one this month at E Town.. It did have DR's though. Amazing..

1,000 hp, twin-supercharged Dodge Challenger by RDP Motorsport

Excessive power is just enough, right? If you abide by that rule of thumb, perhaps you'd be interested in RDP Motorsport's latest offering, which trumps the Challenger's SRT8's 6.1L Hemi and its 425 horsepower with a stroked version displacing a classic 440 cubic inches. That block is topped with a duo of superchargers that offer an astounding 1,000 horsepower. Oh yeah, it's also boosted with two nitrous kits. That's enough grunt to catapult the portly Challenger down the 1/4 mile in the nines, and if that's not fast enough for you, we suggest therapy.

This outrageous pony car was recently unveiled at the PRI Show in Florida and is definitely a bit overkill for most people's needs. So, while the Australian company will be happy to replicate this powertrain combination for you for a price, it's good to know that RDP will work with you to design pretty much whatever you need on a custom basis. Check out the video after the break for more.
