Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 HEMI

For the 2011 model, a refreshed SRT8 will enter production, with the new 392-cubic-inch 6.4L HEMI V8. The new engine will feature Variable Camshaft Timing, as well as the Multiple Displacement System featured on the 5.7L HEMI.  Thanks to the revised engine, Chrysler engineers cited a quarter mile (~400 m) time of 12.4 seconds at 110 mph (180 km/h) - bettering the outgoing 6.1-Liter Hemi by 0.8 seconds, although that figure has varied wildly between automotive magazines. (Source: Wikipedia)

The 392 Hemi (6.4 liters) is rated at either 475 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, or 470 hp with 470 lb-ft, depending on the source. Both V8s shut off four cylinders when not needed (except with manual transmissions). It starts at $43,380, plus any gas guzzler taxes.  (Source: www.allpar.com)
