                                                                     from 6,000 rpm to 6,250 rpm. They created new cylinder heads with larger valves and added CamInCam® designed

                                                   In short, the SRT engineers left no stone unturned and created a new engine and new transmission and driveline components for
                                             bigger displacement, more efficient breathing, and higher engine speed. Bottom line: zero to 60 in less than four seconds; 0-100-0 in     BRAKES
