On the Track with Dodge's new Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody
/

comments
Out of Detroit’s three, the Challenger has always been the king at the drag strip, a king that rules with such a big crown the NHRA ended up casting down a ban on the late Demon variant. But can the big Dodge control itself at speed when the wheel isn’t pointed straight? Yes, oh gosh…

The Dodge Charger Daytona 392: A perfectly simple, silly machine

comments
How can you not love this simple, silly machine? It’s a pretty basic recipe, but one that I truly enjoy. Take a large V8 engine and have it send power to the rear. Add in room for friends, tremendous noise, comfortable seats, and you have a modern muscle car. That is the Dodge Charger Daytona…

Observations from driving a yellow widebody Dodge Challenger Hellcat

Gas mileage is awful. Around the city it’s in the single digits. On the highway you’ll crack double digits if you restrain yourself. You’ll actually laugh about that. Don’t expect more than 200 miles out of a tank. You’ll get asked about gas mileage. You’ll get all kinds of comments. Some women will question…

Quick Spin: 2018 Dodge Challenger GT All-Wheel Drive
/

comments
Last year, when the all-wheel-drive Dodge Challenger was first launched, the good folks at FCA invited me to snow-covered race track to hoon that thing. And the damn thing proved to be shockingly good in snow, even with stock all-season tires on. It went, it stopped, and it turned while wagging its huge butt around…

Quick Spin: 2017 Dodge Charger SXT AWD

comments
Please give all the credit and respect to Dodge, all of FCA actually, for creating some of the most interesting vehicles on the market today. And then for having the guts to splash them in some equally ridiculous colors. Take this Yellow Jacket Dodge Charger, for instance. What other brand would offer a relatively pedestrian…

comments
Earlier, you saw Pennzoil provide a sendoff to the Dodge Viper. Well, we’ve been cooking up one of our own and to properly say good bye to the Viper, we wanted time with the most wild version of this race car for the road. The Dodge Viper ACR with its Extreme Aero kit is about…

First Drive: 2017 Dodge Challenger GT – The AWD Muscle Car
/
/
comments
When I first heard the idea of an all-wheel-drive Challenger I paused a little bit. I paused because the Challenger, like its competitors from Ford and Chevy, are the iconic muscle cars – V8, long hoods, long doors, rear wheel drive, burnouts, hell yea, and all that jazz. But the whole world has been fooled…

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03GO0ebgkQU&lc[/youtube] You can’t afford the Hellcat. You want more than the 5.7-liter R/T has to offer. Say hello to the Dodge Challenger 392 Hemi Scat Pack Shaker… if you can remember all of that. It’s a long name, but it’s a car with lots of fun to pack up all those letters. There’s 485 horsepower…

Dodge Challenger Hellcat: Mad Max… the car

comments
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZM0kDyaDb0[/youtube] Yes, I know Mad Max drove an old Ford. It Mr. Mad were around in the modern era, there’d be no question about what he would driving; the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It’s a 707-horsepower, supercharged coupe, and you can have it with either a six-speed manual gearbox or an eight-speed automatic. We’ve got…

Dodge Challenger Scat Pack: A Half-Price Hellcat

comments
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VU6MuwOR6o[/youtube] The name isn’t great, even if it’s rooted in history. All is forgotten upon a press of the start button, however, because the Dodge Challenger Scat Pack is a ridiculously fun machine set at half-Hellcat pricing. Under the hood is a 485-horspower 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine that enjoys ruining any relationship it may have…
