SMS 570x Challenger, Mollypop 2009 Mustang
Adam and Steve check out the hot SMS 570X Challenger. Adam in a Dodge? Well no, it’s really a SMS 570X Supercharged 700hp Challenger. Steve also brings in his Daughters car the 2009 Mollypop Mustang with it hot pink paint and scenic roof.

I know Adam has pounded on Saabs and Audis before, what does he have against Dodge / Chrysler? (Outside of the K cars of course, lol)
Keep up the great CarCasts. I’ll come back for the videos.
Well there is a reason they went Bankrupt.
First off I am a Plymouth fan so the Dodge thing is already a problem for me 🙂
What really had Dodge put up that is worth talking about? Viper mmmmaybe, but with an 8.4L motor (500+”) in this day an age? A bunch of ‘Bad Boy’ 4 doors and station wagons with 20″ wheels? The Crossfire and it’s menacing V6? The Prowler? The New Hemi?
I think the Challenger one of the first really nice thing Dodge has done in a while. Not for the lack of trying, most of the stuff that Dodge has done doesn’t rock my boat, but the Challenger is a keeper!

I love this retro muscle car war stuff. Remember when Detroit had fun coming straight from the factory? Roadrunner horns that went “meep-meep”, Superbird Daytona wings, crazy names for colors and wild decals? Boss 302, shaker hood scoops, Yenko, etc. Factory fun. Aftermarket wackiness. It was bitchin. I think its great to see it back, even if most of us can’t afford it. The butterfly in the hood is pretty trick. That is a fun ride. I like the Hurst special edition too.
Sorry Adam , love that Dodge. What’s the chances they take the Dodge and put a Cummins in it with the Banks type of mod’s ?
the SMS car is ugly. to many weird body lines IMO. The Hurst cars are much more appealing
Wish he would have brought an S7. Can’t wait to see the SMS Camaro.
So the red butterflies feed into the engine compartment and not directly to the airbox? It looked like just 2 short ram intakes behind the headlights. I don’t get how that gives you good direct air to the intake manifold, but then again I know sh- about cars.
Thanks for the video.
Will you hold your shots longer. Lets me see whats going on.

Very impressive.
Saleen needs a PR dept. I had no idea they went so far beyond the cosmetics.
I have a CLK55 AMG. Sounds like Saleen is doing kind of what AMG did before Merc bought them.

I wasn’t aware AMG was even a company? http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2005/10/14/145554.html
I don’t see soccer moms in my neighborhood with Saleen prepped vehicles, plenty of AMG’s. Obviously different markets.
AMG’s are nice either way…
LOL, at the end there, the awesome sound of a SOHC 4.6 engine bay, weak sauce. Need to get some of the Camaros on here from the SEMA show once it is complete.
This is great stuff. Let’s see some turbo so we don’t pull HP from the crank.

80 Grand for that pile !!!!! ???? Looks like a Mexican down my street stole a brand new Challenger and molested it himself! I’d rather have the SRT8 and put a vortech supercharger on it myself and save 35 Grand. Though… I would never buy a Dodge !
