I "built" a gp gxp on there for a math class I am taking and look what I came across:

ENGINE
Engine, 5.3L 5300 V8 SFI, Supercharged with Electronic Throttle Control (260 HP [193.9 kW] @ 5200 rpm, 280 lb.-ft [378.0 N-m] @ 3600 rpm)
Someone is mixing the 5.3 V8 with a Series III */C

That'* what the Bonne needed.....................a */C 5.3

It would seem like it would surely put out more than 260 hp though

whaddaya think the salesman would say if i went to the dealer asking for the supercharged V8??

he would probably tell me to go next door and look at the Charger SRT-8 (both dealers are owned by the same peopke)
