Muscle car builder SpeedFactory will present their 440 Hemi-powered Challenger at the 2009 SEMA Auto Show. SpeedFactory replaced the standard iron block good for 425hp with an aluminum 6.1-litre (370 cu in) block from Mopar and increased the bore and stroke to achieve a new displacement of 440 cu. in. (7.2-litre), which converts to the magical number, 440 in American. Other upgrades include the use of CNC ported Mopar aluminum heads and a Vortech V3 centrifugal supercharger. Maximum power was boosted to 515kW (700hp) when running on 91 octane pump fuel.
The result is a Dodge Challenger that can make 700 HP on pump gas and has been massaged enough to be reliable as a daily driver. Covering the best part of the car is a matte black carbon fiber hood, complimented by a set of matching SpeedFactory side stripes. The rest of the good stuff is hidden behind a set of BBS CH-R Black Edition flow formed wheels measuring 20 inches in diameter that make the Mopar paint pop.
The interior comfort package consists of SpeedFactory's Signature floor mats, logo-embossed seat backs and Mopar door sills amongst others.
