Watch Hennessey’s 1,000-HP Challenger Hellcat Roar on the Dyno

Jeff Perez,Bold Ride 1 hour 35 minutes ago

Hey look, another Dodge Challenger Hellcat video. But don’t worry, this isn’t some rubber-burning, smoke-inducing visual and aural adrenaline injection. This is Hennessey’s 1,060-horsepower Challenger Hellcat on the dyno.

Visually, there isn’t much to differentiate the standard Challenger from Hennessey’s go-fast version. Mechanically—it’s night and day. The standard 707-horsepower engine has been boosted to the aforementioned 1,060 horsepower (at the crank) thanks to a hefty new twin-turbo kit.

RELATED: See More of the Hennessey Challenger Hellcat HPE1000

As good as 1,060 horsepower sounds on paper, realistically, at the wheels you’re seeing a 20 percent loss, equating to 848 horsepower. Still, that’s not exactly what I would call ‘slow,’ a healthy 141-horsepower increase over the standard Hellcat.

Of course, all this newfound performance comes at a price. On top of the cost of your stock Challenger (or Charger) Hellcat, Hennessey will suck another $55,000 out of your wallet for the HPE1000 upgrade. The question is: is it actually worth it?

According to Sahara Reporters, Shekau was removed for fighting against the training of his soldiers by ISIS advisers.

He was also accused of hoarding food and ammunition, recklessly killing Muslims and summarily executing his soldiers without carrying out investigations into their alleged offences.

Shekau has however denied the allegations via an audio message released in response to ISIS’ announcement.

He also said that he had been deceived by ISIS because he disagreed with its principles.

He said the Haruna Adamu probe panel indicted Buhari, adding that another N500m disappeared under his watch.

Aribisala also slammed Buhari for reportedly saying Gen. Sani Abacha did not steal money, sighting news reports of the recovery of the late dictator’s loot as evidence.

The columnist added that there are people who also stole money that are in the All Peoples Congress (APC), adding that most of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) thieves have crossed to the ruling party.

Aribisala said this while being interviewed on a Channels Television program, Sunrise Daily.

Buhari was appointed to serve as the chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) by late General Sani Abacha.

PTF was funded from the revenue generated by the increase in price of petroleum products, to pursue developmental projects around the country.

Femi Aribisala is a scholar and international affairs expert. He is currently an iconoclastic church pastor in Lagos.

Stephen Keshi, a winner of the Africa Cup of Nations as a player and coach with the Super Eagles, has died aged 54.

The football legend passed away early on Wednesday after a suspected heart attack in Benin City, Southern Nigeria, according to his brother and manager Emmanuel Ado.

"Our son, brother, father, father-in-law, brother-in-law, has gone to be with his wife of 35 years Mrs Kate Keshi, who passed on the 9th of December 2015," said Ado in a statement.

"Since her death, Keshi has been in mourning. He came back to Nigeria to be with her. He had planned to fly back [to the US] today, before he suffered a cardiac arrest. He has found rest. We thank God for his life."

Keshi played in five different African Cup of Nations tournaments, captaining the Super Eagles team to their second continental success in 1994 in Tunisia.

Nigeria gears up for football final

He was instrumental as Nigeria made their maiden appearance at the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the US where they reached the second round before losing to Italy.

He played professionally in Ivory Coast, Belgium, France, the US and Malaysia. He also managed the national teams of Togo and Mali. 

Appointed coach of the Nigerian team in November 2011, Keshi handled the Super Eagles over four spells, leading them to the 2013 African Cup of Nations title in South Africa - becoming only the second man to win it both as a player and a coach - as well as the last 16 at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

There is pride in his achievements, sadness at his death and disappointment at the timing of his exit.

"I'm shocked and saddened by the devastating loss of Big Boss, a father and coach who gave many of us a chance to live our dreams," Lazio midfielder Ogenyi Onazi, who made his senior debut under Keshi, told Al Jazeera.

Another current Nigeria player, Odion Ighalo, added: "What a tragic day. He was one of Nigeria's greats without doubt; he was a father, mentor and above all a legend. It's just a sad day."

Among those paying tribute to him was the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) vice-president Shehu Dikko, who expressed the shock of "the Nigerian football family" at Keshi's death.

"His name will for ever shine the brightest in Nigerian football because his tremendous success and achievements transcend his country and continent," Dikko said.

"Death is never right at any age but Keshi leaving us at this age is sad for Nigerian, African and world football.

Keshi is fondly remembered for helping tiny Togo to qualify for their first - and to date only - appearance at the World Cup finals, but was sacked a few months before Germany 2006.
