2011 Dodge Challenger.

Though it's cleverly disguised as an automobile, don't be fooled. The 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 is the world's ultimate portable smoke generator.
The fact that it can pull double-duty as a method of transportation is nothing but a quirky side benefit to its purpose in life. Consider it a value-added feature that helps justify its seemingly high $45,000 price tag.
It's really quite ingenious. All that's required to create your own massive plume of thick white smoke is premium-grade gasoline and two 245/45ZR20 tires, both of which are readily available, and both of which are consumed in roughly equal quantities. The actual process of making the smoke-screen is so simple even a caveman could do it. One step: Mash the throttle pedal to the floorboard. Done.
Strangely enough, during our First Drive of the beast, we found out that it's possible to do other things with the Dodge Challenger SRT8 392. For instance, with a modicum of restraint at the specific point at which your right foot comes into contact with the throttle pedal, you can drive the 392 in a straight line. Equally as surprising, at least to those who know anything about classic muscle cars, the Challenger is even capable of traveling in directions other than forward, and for more than 1,320 feet at a time.
We're just as shocked as you.
We decided to borrow one of these weapons of mass (tire) destruction for a week with two goals in mind: to see both how much smoke can be created from one set of tires (or one tank of gasoline, whichever comes first...) and how the most powerful Challenger fulfills the unlikely role of an everyday driver.

Dodge Challenger SRT10.

Challenger SRT8? A Challenger SRT10, as long as someone else is paying the fuel bill.
Such sentiments are obviously not in sync with all consumers' attitudes, considering the current popularity of V8-powered muscle cars. The Challenger SRT8 has been selling well in top-line SRT8 trim and anticipation for Chevy's upcoming 2010 Camaro is high, while Ford's Mustang continues to attract buyers in all trim levels. Yes, also in V8-powered GT trim and especially Shelby GT500 and Shelby GT500KR guises.
These last two models make a stunning 500- and 540-horsepower respectively, which is substantially more than their pony car rival from Dodge, at 425-horsepower, or the expected 422-horsepower from the Camaro SS. Does this mean that Mopar will up the ante with a special higher output model of the Challenger? If Chrysler's skunkworks SRT division had any say in the decision, it would be a collective thumbs up, business case or not. And to prove this point the team concocted a one-off Challenger with Viper V10 power dubbed Challenger SRT10.Image via Wikipedia

It was a no-brainer from the beginning, especially given that the Viper's 8.4-liter V10 had already been sandwiched into the engine bay of an original Challenger and shown on the auto circuit a number of years ago. That car didn't feature the revised engine, however, making 600-horsepower and 560 lb-ft of tire smoking torque, or for even more important the modern independently sprung undercarriage with specially fitted Bilstein shocks to make the most off all the power and upgraded four-wheel discs to improve stopping power.
The Dodge Challenger SRT10 Concept, shown to SEMA participants this week, features '70 Hemi Cuda style “shaker hood”, giving the big lump some breathing room, which sticks out of a lightweight carbon fiber hood. The rear deck lid is carbon fiber too, contrasting beautifully with the Tornado Red paint scheme.
The SRT team has added carbon fiber trim inside to spice up the look, enhanced by a Viper-like red starter button to give the car a race-ready appearance.
Will Dodge build it? There are no doubt many, cash in hand, that would say they'd be crazy not to, but the car business isn't quite that simple anymore and therefore it might not get the nod. Then again, Chrysler did name it the 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT10 Concept, giving it a model year that's different than the year it's hitting the show stand. Either way, kudos to the SRT team for dreaming this one up.
