Something Wicked This Way Blows

These days, carmakers are obsessed with being friendly. Environmentally friendly, kid-friendly, fuel-friendly. This year's Detroit auto show may as well have been group therapy with a big hug at the end.

Then there's this 2008 Speedfactory Vortech supercharged Dodge Challenger SRT8. This car isn't nurturing, it doesn't want to comfort anyone and it looks like it just started a prison riot. This car is loud, thirsty and completely out of sync with the Greenies and the Weenies. It's all the best antisocial tendencies wrapped up in one big black Mopar.

This is what dream cars used to be: all attitude, big damn engine, no recyclable canola bean upholstery. You know, back in the good old bad old days when a 560-horsepower, 4,000-pound, V8-powered rear-wheel-drive muscle car made you the envy of your friends, not the destroyer of Mother Nature.

Yeah, we like it, too. Let's go for a ride.

Badass and Ballsy
Press the Speedfactory Challenger's start button and the car growls into a rumbling idle. Redneck music. Sounds like the pace lap at a North Carolina dirt track. There's so much torque even at this low engine speed that the car rocks on its lowered suspension. Then there's the churning whine of the Vortech centrifugal blower. What that sound lacks in mellifluous beauty, it makes up for with pure grinding menace.

It's that gnarly supercharger that's the star of this car. It's Vortech's V-3 Si-Trim centrifugal blower...

Nice! So what makes this different from our set-up? The tune?

Someone needs to do a mag article on Pauls Jeep that would be slick.
