Wow three days it took me to read through this thread!! Alot of great info. I think Dodge has dropped the bomb with the SRT4 and SRT6. There are so many great cars out right now that are pulling people away from Dodge. I will have my SRT4 paid off next year, and i will be in the market for a new car, and to be honest there really isnt anything that makes me go WOW!! other than the Demon which would be an outstanding car. I hope they make a dramatic recovery from this. I have been a Mopar man all my life, and i really dont want to go to another brand.

Expect a change in the turbo system for future vehicles - electronic variable vane w/360 degree wastegate....next is the dual exhaust turbo for the larger engines.
For the first time in its history, heavy truck manufacturer Sterling will offer its North American clients a brand-new line of heavy-duty trucks. Coming this fall, they'll be classified as midrange trucks, targeting only the commercial market.
The Sterling Bullet was created in collaboration with DaimlerChrysler and is based on the well-known Dodge Ram 4500/5500. One distinguishing feature of this vehicle is its imposing grille, normally associated with the Sterling lineup of heavy vehicles.
The chassis for the new 2008 Bullet was designed for use with a variety of truck configurations, including dump, contractor, towing, and box trucks. Powered by a 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel engine, the Bullet will be available in two cab configurations--regular or quad cab--and the choice of two- or four-wheel drive.

hemi -- that sounds suspiciously like twin turbo to me
I don't understand why it is taking so long for the Avenger SRT6. Seriously it should not take this long.
I would opt a delay than to rush something to the market since MB is now gone.
How is it rushing? How long has the Avenger been around? Months and months right? It shouldn't take more than 6 months after the base model has been out. It's not like SRT didn't get the Avenger before it was in full production anyways. All this waiting sends tons of current owners over to the Mitsu/Subi camp. I'm not far behind them.

Dodge Caliber SRT4 to reach 285 hp, torque steer addressed
Posted Today 06:00 AM by Mike Floyd
MOTOR TREND BLOG: With the launch of Dodge's long-awaited Caliber SRT4 inching ever closer to its early fall debut, and we've gained a bit of additional intel surrounding its much-anticipated final powertrain details.
Latest word is that horsepower of the turbocharged and intercooled version of Chrysler's 2.4-liter, four cylinder world engine will be pegged to 285, with torque coming in at 265 lb-ft, which puts it in the fight with the upcoming Mitsubishi EVO X and Subaru WRX STi for several thousand less. Pricing will be in the $25,000 range, with a possible stipper model as low as $20,000 to start.
According to our sources, besides dialing back the horsepower from its original target of 300, dramatic measures have been undertaken to counter the torque steer issues that can result from all that power being routed through the SRT4's 19-inch front wheels.
Among the changes: altering the position of the transmission to reduce the angle of the half-shafts, a torque management system for first and second gears and more anti-squat dialed into the suspension geometry.
Dodge has definitely taken its time with the SRT4, likely due in no small part to the torque steer reduction efforts. We'll find out how well they did shortly.
thread#2080: Avenger SRT6 is now pushed to 2008 springtime....sorry. However, I cannot say anything for now on the why...[hint] just watch the tidbits from-time-to-time.
