It began since the early sixties many car manufacturers were exploring new ideas in the personal luxury car segments. Chrysler, slow to get into the special cars, their selected Dodge Division to enter an untapped market for a larger model to fit between the "pony car" Ford Mustang and the "personal luxury" Ford Thunderbird. The intention was to use the B-body sports car with a fastback look to share as much of their existing hardware.

Lynn Townsend was at odds with the Dodge dealer and wanted to do something to please them. In 1965, he asked me to come to their office-the second time. He noted that one of the Dodge Dealer Council requests was for a Barracuda type vehicle.

The general theme of dealer product recommendation was the same-we want to have Plymouth. A specific request for a Mustang type vehicle was not as controversial to Lynn. His direction to me was to give them a specialty car but he said for Gods sake do not make it a derivative of the Barracuda: ie do not make it a Barracuda competitor.

So the 1966 Charger was born."We built car" idea "a charger that displayed at auto shows in 1965 to stimulate market interest in the concept. The project was approved, but we told the press and attendees of the show car that was just an" idea "and we would build it if they liked it. it was preordained that they would like it."

2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 Review
Here is great fun. Take the word literally big favor. The 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 is huge in size but large mass that is not a bar to enjoy an experience of speed, poise and emotion.
The 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 is fast, muscular and angry. Although no major changes for the 2013 model, it is still a pleasure to prove its benefits behind the wheel. No doubt it is a car that invites nostalgia for its historical framework that defines it as one of the most emblematic icons of the American auto industry. Chrysler scored a great goal in proposing his true renaissance in 2008 and so far has not disappointed anyone, on the contrary, more and more takes hold in the market especially as natural competition Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang.
It is a machine with a huge force, thats obvious, but experience with the Challenger this time began from the moment you first look. The unit was brought as part of this test is almost impossible to go unnoticed by its passionate red hue divided by two white lines that hint audacity, speed and an indirect invitation (or direct) competition.
Its amazing the reactions aroused around and was something similar to what we did with the Camaro a few weeks ago, it is common for other vehicles approaching and begin to make ringlets acceleration at your side in a provocative way, as an invitation to test the power of their cars against ours. While we admit that the suggestion is tempting, we stay within the speed limits that still allow us to enjoy what we have to offer the Challenger. Until you can take it to a track obviously.
This time we were not on the track but clearly we can make the big secret is that much power under the hood, the Dodge Challenger SRT8 HEMI engine mounts a 6.4-liter 8-cylinder that develops about 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. linear torque. This engine allows you to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4 seconds and reach a top speed of 182 mph with a six-speed manual transmission. Also available is a version coupled to an automatic transmission-not so funny when dealing with this type of car and as I say personal opinion-maximum speed reaches 175 mph.
Moreover, the 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 provides adaptive suspension mechanism using two different drive systems called Auto and Sport. Depending on how the vehicle chosen modify some parameters to match the control style with a slightly stiffer suspension.
Also, the large front spoiler and body color rear spoiler will provide aerodynamic stability at high speeds providing an impressive poise and stability.
Inside, the 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 features a heated steering wheel includes paddles for gear changes automated version only. The unit we tested (for my money) had manual gear change. It adds a revamped sound system 900 watt Harman Kardon brand with 18 speakers that vibrate the cabin.
The interior is well finished, sport seats that provide comfort and stability with fairly controlled body movement, thanks in large part to its poise, great weight and dimension.
Being a coupe (two-door vehicle) sports, calls attention to the rear seats deliver generous amplitude to travel long distances comfortably and with enough space so that the legs do not tire as quickly. In other words, four people can enjoy a walk in the Dodge Challenger without any problem.
The car offers a choice of exterior paint options where you can add decorative stripes, which accentuate its sporting spirit and personality to the fullest.
In terms of fuel consumption, the "Dodge Challenger SRT8 392" can consume about 14 mpg in city traffic and about 23 mpg while driving on the freeway.
The basic price of the Challenger SRT8 392 Manufacturers Suggested is $ 44.125.
