Spreading SRT engineers throughout the company is dilution. 10% performance everywhere vs 100% focussed on specific products. They can say what they want but this isn't good news for people like us who put HP FIRST (vs 3rd, 4th or something that's not important at all).

I sincerely hope I'm wrong...


But I didn't hear anything that specifically stated that beyond the current model year that the Hellcat engine would continue. I heard "SRT worthy"....


Worthy?


What's "worthy" mean?


V6 Turbo?

I4 2.0L Turbo in the Jeep @Speedy! drove?


Like I said, I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

SRT is dead.
Maybe a James Worthy commercial cameo?

Indigo is the best choice for the wide body...silver and the lighter colors..the flares have a tendency to be more pronounced..Indigo is almost regal..and with the right tire and wheel combo...elegantly killer...

Well I guess if they slap an SRT badge on that 2.0 it'll pickup 50hp lol
And cost another 7500 on the sticker... prior to "HP Pricing" discounts

Gilles statement: as I said above dispersing folks to try and infect other parts of the company with SRT DNA. Possibly they have made the decision that nearly all models should have high dollar high power options at the top of the range. I am thinking though that if they don't keep a nucleus of specialized talent from which dedicated performance flows they may be shooting themselves in the foot in the long run.

SRT itself is dead. As they say, it will be "worthy" of SRT (in their minds) but that means little. Twin turbo V6 is probably a top of the line offering.

It might be tough to find examples, but I'll try.

Conceptually SRT was not broke...they chose to fix it anyway...individual input vs a dedicated team effort...Ray Charles can see the handwriting on the wall(n)
