Not going to happen anytime soon.
It was reported early this year, even some spy pics were captured, that a few test mules were made with a 5.7-Hemi and even soon a 6.1 for TEST PURPOSES ONLY and NOT FOR PRODUCTION.
It was already told in auto magazine by the Program Manager, to add a 5.7 hemi into the engine bay would require some extensive wheel well, frame and front end changes. In another words: $$$$$$$$$
However, insider at Allpar mentioned 'WOULD YOU SETTLE FOR FORCE INDUCTION?' Maybe this was a hint towards the SRT version.

Yup...totally correct. I would also hope that NDA's weren't broken (as they
are with internal information being posted to the public without proper
consent). Even as a tech, there are a lot of things that I can't post as
some of the internal info that I see isn't for public viewing (until
released).
Be careful with what you post - DC does monitor the larger websites that are
Dodge/Chrysler related.

If you need a "special account" or have be a DCX employee to access the
information, doesn't that imply that the information is not for
dissemination to the general public? Otherwise, wouldn't it be on
http://media.daimlerchrysler.com or in an actual press release? I have
access to lots of "news" at work which, if my employer found I had been
posting online, would land me in a heap of trouble. Some things aren't
supposed to be broadcast.
