2009 Dodge Challenger Srt8/426 Stroker/600 Rwhp N/a on 2040-cars
Union City, New Jersey, United States
I put a lot of effort into building the best road course Challenger money can buy. I have put in about $25K in mods but am trying to price reasonably given the value of the car. If you were looking to build a Challenger for road course racing, I don't think you could put together a more complete build (just my opinion). All the engine work was done at HHP's Delaware shop and all the suspension mods were done by Rob Anderson at Wretched Motorsports back when Pedders' were still in business.
Location: New Jersey Specifications: 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 6 speed 40,500 miles on the odometer Engine/drivetrain mods: HHP/BES Sport Series 426 stroker Thitek heads Custom high lift camshaft (HHP/BES) Fluidyne heavy duty radiator AFE cold air intake 160 degree T-stat Magnaflow high flow catalytic converters Magnaflow competition exhaust BES ported intake manifold Arrington 90mm throttle body DSS 1400 hp axles Spec P-trim clutch rated to 1400 hp G&K modified Hurst shifter Joelvan modified power steering (larger pulley) to withstand stresses of road course racing (had a failed stock pump which let to my swapping out the pulley. Since the swap, I have had no issues). Suspension/wheel mods: Pedders aftermarket bushings (complete replacement) Pedders adjustable sway bar and end links Pedders Xa coilovers with extenders for in-trunk and under the hood adjustment Weldcraft widened rear Alcoa SRT wheels to 10.5 inches (to run 315s) Motorsport Tech billet adapters to get offset perfect relative to fenders Rolled rear fenders (zero rubbing) Currently running Nitto NT05 275s in the front and 315s in the rear. Images are attached from a recent track day. Also attached is a dyno plot showing two curves - on 93 octane, she makes 575 rwhp and on race gas (MS 109) she makes 600 rwhp. Also to note, the cooling mods really work - on my last track day, even after a full 20 minute session where rpms were between 3000 and 6500, the temperature barely broke 180 degrees. All the engine mods were done around 33K miles and the suspension mods were done around 35K miles. The car sits at a shade over 40K miles. The majority of these miles on the new engine were highway miles, though I have run a few track days in the 2 years that I have owned the car. |

Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes
Wed, 02 Apr 2014Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.
2015 Dodge Charger shows off its new look in New York [w/videos]
Thu, 17 Apr 2014With a new look inspired largely by the Dart compact, the 2015 Dodge Charger made its New York Auto Show debut today. Along with the interior and exterior changes, an eight-speed automatic becomes standard across the range.
What hasn't changed is the choice of engines under the Charger's long hood. A 3.7-liter V6 serves as the base mill, and can be had in both rear- and all-wheel-drive varieties, while the 5.7-liter V8 is an optional item and can be had in rear-drive only. Outputs are also carried over from last year, with 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque for the six-pot, while the Hemi V8 delivers 370 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque.
The new exterior treatment is a fairly large departure from the styling tone set by the Charger since its reintroduction to the US market in 2006. The blacked-out, crosshair grille and new headlamps are the biggest changes for 2015, though there are other, less immediately noticeable updates, such as the more rounded "Racetrack" taillamps that, like the front fascia, draw some inspiration from the Dart.
Dodge Viper to out-Hell the Hellcat with supercharged V10?
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The Viper wouldn't be the Viper if it wasn't the most powerful model under the Chrysler umbrella. But with the arrival of the Hellcat engine in the Dodge Charger and Challenger, the Viper has fallen behind in the bragging rights department: where the new supercharged V8 produces 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated V10 offers "only" 640 hp and 600 lb-ft - gargantuan output figures by almost any other standard, but crucially behind on the SRT power scale. Conner Avenue is going to have to do something about that.
Although the Hellcat's engine reportedly won't fit under the Viper's hood, SRT is now rumored to have another trick up its sleeve: supercharge the existing V10. According to the Pentastar performance enthusiasts at allpar.com, Chrysler has already taken delivery of the first such prototype engines so that it can begin the process of fitting it into an upgraded Viper.
The spooled ten-pot is tipped to produce around 800 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. More than that and the Viper's drivetrain, chassis and bodywork would have to be substantially reworked. Though beefier transmissions are available, fitting them would reportedly set off a domino-game of changes required to handle the added torque. Which may be something Chrysler would be prepared to do for the next-generation model, but in the meantime, 800 hp could prove enough to put the Viper back atop the Mopar performance ladder where it belongs, and give it an edge against the new Corvette Z06 to rekindle sales.
