1,000 hp, twin-supercharged Dodge Challenger by RDP Motorsport

Excessive power is just enough, right? If you abide by that rule of thumb, perhaps you'd be interested in RDP Motorsport's latest offering, which trumps the Challenger's SRT8's 6.1L Hemi and its 425 horsepower with a stroked version displacing a classic 440 cubic inches. That block is topped with a duo of superchargers that offer an astounding 1,000 horsepower. Oh yeah, it's also boosted with two nitrous kits. That's enough grunt to catapult the portly Challenger down the 1/4 mile in the nines, and if that's not fast enough for you, we suggest therapy.
This outrageous pony car was recently unveiled at the PRI Show in Florida and is definitely a bit overkill for most people's needs. So, while the Australian company will be happy to replicate this powertrain combination for you for a price, it's good to know that RDP will work with you to design pretty much whatever you need on a custom basis. Check out the video after the break for more.

Whats not to like? Very cool, turbo would be even cooler.

I agree!
Superchargers are cool, turbos are awesome!

Twin turbo would own.

No, because TT is done to death. Seriously, how many cars have twin-superchargers? Or even one s/c & one turbo? Turbos are overdone.

i mean i get the idea, showing the extreme fabrication and one-offs they could make for you, but i've never seen the likes of this before (again, twin roots, have seen twin centrifugals)...

Video was a waste of time, I wanted to see the death of some tires.

It's rated R for excessive violence and gore.
