With a massive Hemi motor, a performance-tuned suspension and vintage-inspired good looks, the Challenger SRT8 392 is the range-topping model in Dodge's Challenger muscle car lineup. Though not quite as nimble as some rivals, the SRT is still quite enjoyable to exercise on backroads while also being a comfortable long-distance cruiser.
The heart of the SRT8 392 is a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 with 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. The latter figure is 90 lb-ft better than the Challenger's previous engine, adding a welcome kick in the pants to the straight line acceleration department. In fact, the SRT8 392 can scoot from a dead stop to 60 miles per hour in under five seconds.
If quarter mile races are more your thing, know that this coupe can run the quarter in mid 12's with the automatic transmission, or high 12's equipped with the row-it-yourself gearbox. New for the latest model is a launch-control system that spins the engine to optimal launch rpms, then manages wheelspin once underway for the quickest acceleration possible. Top speed is an impressive 182 in the manual and 175 with the automatic.
With all that power and displacement fuel economy is obviously not the primary concern of the vehicle's engineers, but it wasn't forgotten either. Both transmissions will return 14 city mpg, while the manual bests the automatic by one mpg for a highway rating of 23.
Speaking of transmissions, it should be known that the manual found in the 392 is no five-speed, but a six-speed TR-6060 Tremec unit with a dial-disc high performance clutch - the same one tested to the limits in the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10.For those more interested in cruising than racing, the automatic comes in five-speed flavor that includes both "Normal" and "Sport" modes. Sport mode will keep the transmission in the gear a bit longer, maximizing power at the cost of efficiency.
Dodge upgraded the Challenger SRT8 392's suspension for the latest model year, adding an improved version of the active damping system that includes three different settings that either optimize on-road comfort or handling responses.
Keeping the SRT8 where it should be are either 20x9 forged aluminum in a seven-spoke design or 20x9 forged aluminum wheels with satin black painted pockets, either wrapped in Goodyear RSA all-season tires as standard. Optional are Goodyear F1 Supercar three-season tires that kick the performance up a notch at the expense of longevity and wet handling. Behind those wheels are 14.2-inch front and 13.8-inch rear vented and slotted rotors being grabbed by Brembo four-piston fixed calipers finished in red, of course.
Other model-specific exterior styling cues include '392 HEMI' badges, quad exhaust outlets, a new front spoiler and a body-painted rear decklid spoiler.
Despite a recent update, the cabin is slightly behind the times in terms of material quality and technology. There are plenty of hard plastic surfaces to be found, and the Uconnect infotainment system is a generation behind the slick unit found in newer Chrysler products. Still, there's a surprising amount of space inside - including enough room for adults to lounge in the rear seats - and the pistol-grip manual shifter adds an appealing retro touch.
Standard and Optional Features
Standard features include leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a 276-watt Boston Acoustics sound system, a Uconnect CD/HDD/DVD entertainment system with a 6.5-inch touchscreen display, automatic climate control, Bluetooth smartphone connectivity and more.
SRT8 Core
A new SRT8 core model caters to budget-minded Mopar performance fans by delivering all of the standard coupe's performance but deleting some content (or substituting less expensive bits) to achieve a lower price.
The SRT8 Core features a unique blacked-out appearance, including a black grille, rear spoiler and"392" logos on the front fenders. Twenty-inch cast-aluminum wheels with black painted pockets and black Brembo brake calipers are also part of the package.
To help bring the price down, the Challenger SRT8 Core trades the leather upholstery of up-level SRT models for "Ballistic" cloth seating surfaces with dark slate gray bolsters and door panel inserts. There are also no fog lights, the HID headlights have been replaced with halogen units, and the adjustable suspension and been swapped out in favor of a single-mode Bilstein setup,
Occupant Safety
All Charger SRT8 models come standard with dual front, front side and side-curtain airbags in addition to a driver's knee airbag and traction and stability control systems.
Key Competitors
As the range-topping model in the Challenger lineup, the SRT8 392 competes against powerful rivals like the 650-horsepower Ford Shelby GT500 and the 580-horsepower Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.
As it stands, the 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392, powered by the 6.4-liter Hemi V8 produces 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet. Clearly, it wouldn’t take much tweaking to take the 392 Hemi’s power past that of the Z/28. Add some unforgiving suspension, remove the radio, and add some lightweight components and SRT has a competent Camaro Z/28 competitor on its hands.

Dodge Challenger spied exercising supercharged Hellcat Hemi V8
Wed, 23 Oct 2013One of the prime complaints against the Dodge Challenger is that, even in SRT8 guise, its 470 horsepower is responsible for hauling over 4,200 pounds of vehicle. For comparison, the 420 hp in the Ford Mustang GT only has to deal with 3,618 lbs. Things only get worse from there, as the higher-performance variants of both the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro are far more powerful than an SRT8 without adding on much heft.
So what is Chrysler to do? The correct answer is add a whole lot more grunt to its hefty two-door and even the odds. That's where the all-new Hellcat engine comes into play. We reported on this engine in May, and suggested that the Hellcat, a supercharged powerplant based on a 6.4-liter V8, would easily generate 500 to 570 hp and could likely arrive boasting more than 600 ponies.
Chrysler's ace in its sleeve has now been spied testing, with a number of Hellcat-equipped Challengers running the potent new engine both in more urbanized areas and under the sun of Death Valley. The hoods on these testers have been raised to accommodate the engine, and that camouflage over the fascias of these prototypes is there to hide a larger air intake. We also note what appears to be a new split grille under wraps. As for power output, our spies are now suggesting a Viper-equalling 640 hp from the Hellcat-equipped cars.
Mopar maneuvers into SEMA with a multitude of modified models
Wed, 05 Nov 2014As the aftermarket and performance arm of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Mopar has a duty to extract everything from the company's models that it can, and there's no better place to show all of its work off than the annual SEMA Show.
Dodge really gets in on the act this year with several customs to show off different parts of the brand's performance heritage. Perhaps the most interesting among them is the track-prepped Viper ACR Concept (pictured above). It wears a custom body kit to produce even more downforce, thanks in no small part to a monstrous wing at the back. To shed weight, most of the interior is stripped out, as well. Next up, the Challenger T/A Concept takes inspiration from '70s Trans-Am racing in a livery of Sublime Green and matte black paint. The center scoop in the hood keeps the 6.4-liter V8 fed with cool air, and the special's 20-by-9.5-inch matte black wheels keep it planted in the corners.
Also getting the once-over from Mopar is the Charger R/T. It wears the division's body kit, and under the hood, a cold-air intake keeps the 5.7-liter V8 breathing. The suspension is retooled to hold the road better with a coil-over kit, upgraded sway bars and strut tower braces for the front and rear. The company is also showing off a snazzy blue Charger with a mean look. The final Dodge getting work from Mopar is the Dart R/T Concept with bright, O-So-Orange paint and a matte black hood with a scoop hooked directly to the air intake. The performance-oriented design is finished off with a coil-over suspension and big brake kit, as well.
