The rumors of a AWD Hellcat coming down the pike got me thinking

How likely is it that one of the "full frame" suppliers like say The Roadster Shop, just to name one, are going to take the next step and develop an AWD option for their Fast Track system.

And would that be the ultimate game changer?

I don't think the demand is there for it to return a profit from the development time

I understand your point, but it seems to me that AWD cars have been consistently strong in USC challenges (5 of the top 10 in 2015) and 750+HP motors are within the capabilities of even amateur engine builders these days.

Seems that after IRS its the next logical step.

AWD systems are possible now but they are very very spendy to implement. See the Hoonigan Mustang. Personally, I think the next major breakthrough will be the use of mag shocks like those used on some of the new Corvettes and Camaros. I know at least one aftermarket shock manufacturer has just announced such a product.

The Vikings are called Berserkers and yes they will be around $5k
