BODY
Upon meeting this low mileage Dodge the first thing you'll notice is a premium combination of red and silver aesthetics that put a modern twist on the trusted 'bright paint and two war stripes' color scheme. Get to know the car a little better and you'll find solid original sheetmetal that fits precisely. A close examination of that sheetmetal which began life at Chrysler's excellent Brampton Canada manufacturing facility reveals no major issues or tendencies. And overall in part thanks to tasteful SRT upgrades this super slick MoPar walks a fine line between legendary Motor City class and modern user-friendly performance.
ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN
The heart of this Challenger is a 392 cubic inch SRT Hemi that utilizes a revised block aluminum heads and sequential multi-port fuel injection to twist stout 10.9 to 1 compression into 470 horsepower and 470 lb./ft. of torque. That brutal block commands six forward gears through a proven Tremec TR6060 manual transmission. That transmission twists a fresh limited-slip differential which is equipped with buff 3.92 gears. There's an SRT-tuned suspension that's augmented by standard stability and traction control. Variable-ratio speed-assisted power steering helps the car feel nimble despite its size. Braking comes courtesy of Brembo 4-piston calipers that with the help of standard anti-lock software clamp 14-inch slotted rotors. Spent gases exit through factory pipes which are capped with polished tips. And at the corners ''SRT'' branded blades spin 245/45ZR20 Goodyear Eagle F1s in front of 255/45ZR20 Goodyear Eagle F1s.
INTERIOR
While this Challenger's exterior is successfully reminiscent of classic Detroit steel it's interior is a tangible illustration of just how much things have changed in almost half a century. At the center of the car heated power-adjustable seats feature tight leather hides that are trimmed with red accent stripes white accent stitching and clean ''SRT'' logos. In front of those seats a driver-oriented dash hangs sporty telemetry beside automatic climate control. Between those ancillaries factory Uconnect mixes CD DVD Satellite and MP3 infotainment with a 40 GB hard drive Bluetooth connectivity and six Boston Acoustics speakers. Below that system a wide console balances an attractive shifter between premium floor mats like-new carpet and metal-trimmed foot pedals. At the sides of that carpet chrome-trimmed door panels hang padded armrests in front of smooth power mirrors requisite power windows and standard power door locks. In front of the driver a heated and leather-wrapped SRT steering wheel features factory cruise control and redundant audio buttons. And naturally all the luxuries you'd expect in a high dollar muscle car are present and accounted for including: Keyless Go Remote Keyless Entry Universal Home Remote and a standard security alarm.
