| Has anyone else heard the rumor about Dodge putting the SRT 6 engine into the PT Cruiser?? I also heard they are making at PT Coupe??? And I also heard they are bringing back the prowler.....?? Anyone know if this is fact or fiction?? |

The SRT4 motor is in the PT GT (save intake and tranny). No way they'd put an AMG motor (srt6)in a PT cruiser. I doubt that setup would fit for FWD not to mention some serious cash..
PR verts are of course out but not heard of a coupe. Not heard about the prowler either.
:cool: |

| ya, I have to say fiction aswell.. there is no room for it to be placed into the PT correctly. The PT is quick enuff with the PT turbo setup IMO.. The point of that car is not to go fast anyway. |

That vehicle is about the retro style, not speed. |

| In a past issue of Mopar Now, someone dropped a Viper V10 into a PT and converted it to RWD. |

Here's another good one.. Some guy made a chopper around a Viper engine. Don't lay that sucker over... |

| the PT that has the viper engine with the rwd conversion is a company out of the states. I belive it was something like Demco Motorsports and they sell the conversion to PT owners for something like 20g. but they also convert the back to look like a pick up box. looks pretty killer, wanted to do it to my cruiser but for 20g US i may as well buy a new vehicle. |

I remember Hennessey Motor Sports had penned a PT Crusher with a RWD Viper power plant, but I don't know if that ever hit production. The Tomohawk actually used the Viper engine block as the base of its chassis with suspension bolted onto the front and rear of the block.

20g isn't bad if it includes the motor. These things are freakin' expensive.

| the srt-6 will be going into the crossfire, they also are planning a dodge magnum srt-8 for late 2005. |

| Even the Jeep Grand Cherokee is getting an SRT-8, as well as the Magnum. Looks like SRT isn't just dodge anymore. |

| It never really was. It started as just the SRT-4, SRT-10, and Viper SRT-10, but the Crossfire SRT-6 is already on sale, the 300C SRT-8 is coming out soon, and other designs are on the table. |

the Crossfire SRT6 is already out, and will as far as I'm concerned be the only one to get the SRT6 moniker. They won't farm that AMG motor out anywhere else. Dont' forget the crossfire is an SLK, so there were no issues with dropping that in. Same drivetrain ans the AMG SLK32 more or less. I don't see a 6 cylinder in dodge's lineup that can get massaged enough to be a kick ass machine (without spending some extra cash needlessly)..
SRT = Street Race Technology, the tuning or hi po wing of DCX (they called it PVO Briefly).
The SRT8s are going to be absolutely wicked. |

That may be what it was Chris. Only saw part of the article on Redneck TV (Spike). |

| It would have been the tomahawk. It had a theoretical top speed of like, 400mph or something.. :lol: |
