Winding Road Video: 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 — POV Test Drive
Oddly, the Challenger’s suspension felt softer and less poised than the Chrysler 300 SRT8 we tested back in May. Regardless of which of the three suspension modes we set the Dodge in, there was more vertical movement and roll than in the 300’s equivalent mode. The sedan offered up a flatter, grippier handling experience that instilled more confidence as we pushed down the road.
Update: 2013 Chrysler 300 SRT8
We’re sorry if you clicked in here expecting a detailed report on how the Chrysler 300 SRT8 handles, brakes, rides, or looks. We’ll give you this: good, great, poor, excellent. Instead, we’re going to talk about this car’s sensational engine.
Is SRT Preparing A Hotter Challenger To Compete With Chevy’s Z/28?
According to our friends at Motor Trend, a hotter Challenger could be on the way. SRT chief Ralph Gilles offered a not-so-subtle hint regarding the sharper Challenger at last week’s New York Auto Show. The new model would be designed to compete with the new Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, which debuted in the Big Apple.
Quick Drive: 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec
So where does the Genesis sit in the coupe spectrum? Well, the honest answer is everywhere. We’ll elaborate on what we mean later, but suffice it to say that this is a vehicle that’ll appeal to a variety of buyers.
Rumors: Model News—Chrysler Dropping Challenger Name For Barracuda

Quick Drive: 2011 Dodge Challenger Rallye
I like what is being done with the V-6 versions of muscle cars today. I like that you can’t always tell the difference between a V-6 and a V-8. After all, muscle cars have never been completely about performance. The styling has always been an important factor, and what these new V-6s lack in speed, they make up for with the looks of their high-powered brothers. This Challenger is a prime example. It drives well enough, has a decent exhaust note, and even gets manageable fuel economy. But its looks are what sells it.
Winding Road Video: 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 Tires Up In Smoke
When we traveled to Willow Springs, California and drove the Chrysler Group’s 2012 SRT8 lineup (including a lengthy drive in the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8), the tires on the cars, understandably, underwent a lot of wear and tear on the track. At one point, the tires on a Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 were slated for replacement in just a few minutes, and of brand representatives decided the rubber should go out in style (i.e., in a huge cloud of smoke).
Blog: Driving New England In The Dodge Challenger SRT8
Planning to see my fiancé Molly’s parents and extended family—stopping first in Boston, and then heading north to New Hampshire and Maine—I really wanted to borrow a car that was both fun and kind of laidback to drive. I’d always thought that the Challenger SRT8 would make a hell of a good GT car, so this seemed the perfect opportunity to try out that theory.
Video: Patriotic, New Dodge Challenger and Jeep Grand Cherokee Ads
The Chrysler group has released a couple of commercials, one for the Dodge Challenger, and one for the new Jeep Grand Cherokee. Both tugs at the patriot’s heartstrings, though the anachronistic Dodge ad, we think, is particularly clever. It gave us a chuckle, too, when we caught the deadly serious look on George Washington’s face. And, we always love to see a Jeep get tossed around in the mud.
List: Ten Used Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep SRT Values
We took a look around, and put together this list of used vehicles in the Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep SRT family, and what one can expect to pay for them. There’s no need to break the bank for a car that’s going to depreciate, when you could buy one slightly used for much, much less.
Quick Drive: 2010 Dodge Challenger SE
It may look the part of American muscle, but the V-6-powered Challenger is truly dull in comparison to its brethren.
Dodge Challenger Furious Fuchsia Edition Hurts Our Eyes
To celebrate 40 years of Dodge Challenger performance, the company has announced limited edition models of the R/T Classic and SRT8, in a loud throwback color. The SRT8 Furious Fuchsia edition will be limited to 400 units. Both models will go on sale at Dodge dealerships next month.
Dodge Challenger Gets Performance Appearance Package, No Actual Performance Upgrades
If you’ve ever wanted your brand new Dodge Challenger to look like an crazy-powerful muscle car, but don’t want to actually have any more horsepower or torque to put to the wheels, Mopar has just the appearance kit for you. Chrysler’s Mopar parts division is now offering its Performance Appearance Package for Challenger SE and R/T models.
First Look: 2011 Ford Mustang GT Gets 5.0-Liter V-8 Power
The Mustang GT has always been one of our favorite sports cars, and there’s more to love for the 2011 model year — the Mustang GT gets an all-new 5.0-liter V-8 engine, producing 412 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque.
Embargo? What Embargo? Details Leak Out About Mustang GT’s New 5.0-Liter V-8
The details about Ford’s new 5.0-liter Mustang GT were supposed to be kept under wraps until closer to the official announcement at this year’s Detroit Auto Show, but reports have leaked out confirming that the Pony Car will be getting an all-new 412-horsepower V-8 for the 2011 model year.
List: Ten Cars That Are All Bark And No Bite
In automotive terms, a “sleeper” is a car that doesn’t look like it’ll do much damage, but once it hits the road, it’s a real performance dream. Think of the Mazdaspeed3 or BMW 335d—two cars that don’t look all that vicious but are really stunning machines to steer. These cars, however, are just the opposite.
Driven: 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, Decisions Decisions…
The obvious comparisons surrounding the all-new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro pit the reconstituted pony car against the Mustang and Challenger. Well duh. We submit, however, that the obvious overlooks something right before your eyes; a Camaro versus Camaro face off.
