426 Hemi Challenger
Looks Like Dodge is coming out with a 426 Engine option for the Challenger, not sure how it will fit into the Challenger lineup great time to be a car guy

Pretty cool. Damn I wish Chevy would make some cool commercials for their vehicles.

GM: We can’t build a big n/a engine.
Dodge: Here’s our big ass n/a engine.

It's been talked about on the Mopar boards for a while now... Resumespeed is talking 2020 50th Anniversary Challenger 426 Hemi.

GM should say F-it and follow suit with another 427 Z/28

I'm not seeing that there is an actual 426 Hemi street car here.

Resumespeed a Mopar insider has been indicating that a 426 engine will be in a Challenger, some have indicated that it could replace the 392 but I have no info just what I picked up, speculation is mid 500hp.

I agree, by the looks it's more inline with the current COPO, Cobra Jet and Mopar Drag Pak cars. Which is not to say they won't offer a street car with a 426.

The 426 is going in the Ram TR first, then the Challenger.

Very interesting. If you can't fix the chassis, just add more power. But it Could just be for a limited run like Chevy did with COPO

Not many people take their cars to a road course so chassis is fine, Challenger will have a 426 for a road car maybe take the place of the Demon, so may only be a 3000 model run. Dodge is getting their moneys worth out of the Challenger chassis and giving the people that are into this car what they want.

Lap times don’t mean much, outside of magazines and Internet forums. A 426 Hemi making 520+ hp means something.
