Out now, the April 2010 issue of Mopar Enthusiast features SpeedFactory’s 440 Supercharged Challenger on the cover.

This is the Challenger tested and featured in MOTORTREND’s December 2009 cover story, and viewed by thousands in Mopar Alley at SEMA 2009. Price: $69,995. Stock number 965132. Contact Landmark Dodge Chrysler Jeep in Morrow, GA for more information. 800-726-4044. (more…)

Well SEMA 2009 is over, and it was a great show for SpeedFactory. We appreciate all of the support we received from our partners and friends. You can’t go it alone in the automotive industry and SEMA is a great opportunity to seek out new partners, meet friends and discover new opportunities. We also did some indoor kart racing at Pole Position.

Our aluminum block, supercharged 440 SpeedFactory Challenger was a hit in MOPAR alley with lots of spectators snapping photos. Automotive magazine 0-60 even badged it a “SEMA Supercar”.

Motortrend Senior Editor Edward Loh, who orchestrated the cover story in this month’s issue that included the Challenger met up with the team and later blogged about it on Motortrend.com. If you’d like to see Motortrend test a SpeedFactory 440 Challenger at it’s full potential – be sure to let them know!

Our aluminum block supercharged 440 Challenger is a “must-see debut” at the 2009 SEMA show in Las Vegas this week, thanks to a nice posting by SEMA on their website:

One correction – the SpeedFactory Challenger will NOT be in the Mopar booth as previously reported. It will instead be in the Mopar display – the covered walkway display connecting the 2 display halls.

See you there!

SpeedFactory, a top-tier modern muscle car builder, will introduce the first modern supercharged, all-aluminum, 440 Hemi-powered Challenger at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, Nov 3-6, 2009.

The SpeedFactory prepared 2009 SRT8 Challenger is powered by a bored and stroked 6.1L Hemi Mopar aluminum block, increasing the displacement to 440 cu. in. (7.2 liters). It includes CNC ported Mopar aluminum heads and a completely forged rotating assembly. A Vortech V3 centrifugal supercharger boosts the output of this reliable, modern Mopar power plant to 700HP on premium-grade 91 octane pump fuel.

SpeedFactory performance modifications include Mopar Performance NAG 1 transmission, Mopar Performance fuel rails, Moroso coolant tank and oil pan, Getrag IRS with 1000 HP half-shafts, Corsa stainless steel cat back exhaust system, performance springs, sway bars, and additional strut tower braces, 15” Brembo 6 piston front disc brakes and Bridgestone Potenza tires mounted on 20” BBS Black Edition CH-R flow-formed wheels.

SpeedFactory’s Signature interior package includes logo-embossed seat backs, matching door panel stripe with logo, custom floor mats, Mopar door sills and T-handle shifter. Visually, the exterior of the car has also been enhanced with a race-inspired, matte-finish, full carbon fiber hood and rear deck spoiler, as well as SpeedFactory Signature badging and graphics.

This car is part of SpeedFactory’s research and development platform for its line of tuned, advanced engine, and supercharged modern muscle cars.

The SpeedFactory Challenger will be part of the MOPAR display from Tuesday, Nov 3^rd thru Friday, Nov 6^th at the SEMA Show.

ARCA racer, Chase Miller, driving the Landmark Dodge/SpeedFactory Dodge Charger car, finished third this weekend in Michigan at the ARCA Racing for Wildlife 200. He started 17th on the grid.

“It was not an easy day,” said Miller. “Last week was the first time that we had all worked together. We all came here to win this race and had to settle for third, but it was a hard earned third place. Those restarts were one giant accordion and I got caught up in it and tore the whole rear end of my car off. For a while it just felt like we were wrecking every lap there. We went to work on the car, made some adjustments and it took off like a missile again. There were plenty of challenges, first the rain and then the damaged race car. Nobody on the team gave up; the challenges just made us come together and work harder. The way these guys rallied to overcome obstacles makes them a championship caliber team. This was a two race deal with Cunningham Motorsports. Just think what we could do if we worked together every week!”
