What is SRT working on...?

[mopar22]

An the SRT side Ralph keeps saying the Cuda is coming and I got to wonder way with both the Camaro and Mustang struggling..... I would like it but stills seems odd.

Where have you seen that? Anytime someone ask about future product he mentions he cannot speak about it

IDK there is a lot of excitement about the WIdebodies in the LX world..... The new Charger and Challenger are the most potent in History. They been spending money where it counts the drivetrain. The new for new sake stuff doesn't always work out. What can be expected in the new Chassis is lighter and more interior room, better handling. But the widebodies are putting up great numbers in handling.

C8 yeah dont thing there isn't some problems with that. Will need to make sure you weight and see on that one especially the hot ones. Hopefully they have the twisting apart issue resolved.

Just saw cars.com put the 1320 up against the mustang GT and weighed both, mustang was only 190lbs lighter, albeit the 1320 only had 1 seat, so lets call it 350 in the real world. They shouldn't have much of a problem getting that out of a redesigned challenger, even at its current size, on a modernized L chassis. At this point though, you have to wonder if they are scared to sway the design much and risk losing what they have now. I know I would be, but they have to do something with it.

Apparently he has been whispering it, of course not in a official interview

Are you referring to the mohawk guy on YouTube?

Don't trust that guy.... he is just repeating what others are already saying. ….. Like I said it doesn't make sense to me since the Mustang and Camaro are having trouble. Maybe it Ralph saying whispering what he really would like to do and people a reading more into it then there is.

With the new Vette coming online soon let's hope SRT has a few aces up it's sleeve for 2020 !
Detroit News today has a article about FCA in which Goldman Sachs states that FCA North America supplies FCA with 93% of it's profits in 2018.

Chevy has chosen to try and be a poor man's Ferrari. SRT is not in that world at all. It American style street racing cars. Not EU style rear mid-engine cars.

They are more in Alfa, Ferrari, and Maserati realm. Now could SRT leverage these to have a model of course.

If Chevy became the poor man’s Ferrari, Dodge can still become the poor man’s Ferrari GT?

 

[DodgeFL]

Kiss the FCA Italian premium brands good bye. GM has under taken a big gamble with a clean sheet of paper new vehicle. Now lets see how the market place responds. After all it's all about $$$ and image.

Looks like they're going to do very well with that too. The C8 is going to to become a dream car for a lot of people, and one that's attainable at that.

 

[DodgeFL]

YES ! Most buyers will tack on $10K - $20K in options. Which will bring the price to appox $70 K. I expect the C8 to sell for full MSRP for 2-3 years. Dealer mark ups will stifle all but the well heeled true believers ? Mean while SRT has offerings ..................................

 

[Ryan]

They're supposedly nearly sold out of the 2020 MY C8 models.

 

[TripleT]

Well like I said we will C if C8 high end models are fixed before that show up. GM level issue are in the structure.

I see on the internet that the 2020 Corvette production capacity is already sold out. Production of the 2020 Corvette is slated to begin in September or October of this year.

Sounds like A LOT of guys that ordered a 2020 vette will be getting a 2021 - and they don't even know it yet lol

So the new C8 is exactly what happened happened with the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat.
Dodge has something just have to wait

Ralph's dog's name is Cuda, that's all I'm going to say about that.

The anticipation for the C8 is extremely high though. There have been decades of speculation around a mid-engined Vette.

 

[MoparJoe]

agreed Ryan
but we captured lightening in the bottle in 2015 - now it's chevy's turn ....

 

[TripleT]

Corvette capacity is constrained to they are going to sell giant numbers. They will have issues on the way.
