Tekne posted:Dodge gave Richard Rawlings a 2015 Challenger 392 Shaker with active exhaust to play with at the Gumball 3000. Holy poo poo I like it. I wonder if Dodge is still going along with an Alfa-based Challenger replacement. I've read conflicting things online.

Tekne posted:According to Allpar, the RWD Avenger is still on, so I'm guessing that the Charger will share platforms with a large Alfa for its next generation. SRT has been refolded under Dodge - the Viper is home again - and the other brands need to come up with their own performance trims. Grand Cherokee SRT will remain for the time being. I'm glad the 200 is doing well, the reviews I've read say it's a good machine. Not something I'd buy but if it gives them the moolah to cook up some new performance machines I'm all for it. I've long had a very negative view of Chrysler and it's children (I think it was the Neons and Sebrings) but I'm coming around lately.

Is Lincoln big overseas or something? I know Buick is big in China for some reason, but according to the wiki of pedias, Lincoln won't even be in China proper until the end of this year.

Something about a 4-banger Mustang just seems so... Contrary to the point. I'll have to test one for myself.

skipdogg posted:For some reason I just don't see many people that are going to DD a Hellcat, they'll be garage queens that only come out for cars and coffee, cruising on the weekend, or trips to the dragstrip. (and there is nothing wrong with that) Supposedly at WOT the thing can drain it's fuel tank in 13 minutes or so. I don't see why you couldn't use it as a DD, though lets be honest, as a DD there's no practical reason to own one over an R/T Challenger (if you want a V8 Challenger), or even a V6 Challenger if you just want a Challenger. It's purely a brash, ostentatious, excessive and bonkers car. I'm curious what the Hellcat Charger will be like. Photos popped up recently of the SRT Charger mule with different body work from the new 2015 model. Since the Charger and Challenger share the same foundation, and up to this point the same engines, there's no reason they couldn't make a Hellcat version. Still bonkers but slightly more practical than the Challenger.

IIRC most reviews of the Challenger Hellcat basically said skip first gear if you actually want to move forward from a stop.

I expect many people are tired of Hellcat Chat, but I did find this  Torque News posted:Motor Trend took the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with the new heavy duty 8-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission to K&N Engineering’s dyno in Riverside California to see how true the power numbers are for this brawny Mopar muscle car. With stated figures of 707 horsepower and 650lb-ft of torque, the Hellcat Hemi makes the Challenger (and the Charger) the most powerful American production car ever while also ranking 6th when compared to every other current production car in the world so with claims like that – you know that someone would be getting a Hellcat powered Challenger to the dyno in a hurry.

Tekne posted:The 918 is an untouchable space car as expected, the NISMO GTR beat out the Viper TA, and the Camaro Z28/Corvette Z51 mostly cleaned up what was left. I'd like to see the Z06, both Hellcats, and the other two hyper cars in the next one. If the 2015 Viper TA 2.0 gets Trofeo R's and the 6 piston Brembos, it should beat the NISMO and might even fend off the hefty Z06. With the Miata twins and Mustang coming out next year, there's no better time to be an enthusiast. I'm most amazed at a Viper being third.

Kinfolk Jones posted:The 2015 SS will come with a 6MT option. I'm seriously considering buying the 2015 and importing it to Canada (since the assholes won't sell it here). It ticks all the boxes for me: V8, magnetic shocks, stick shift and lots of functional space for actually carrying things and people.

coolskillrex remix posted:485hp and 475ft in a sedan for $40,000 is just insane. What a mean fuckin machine that is for the price. No brembo is kind of scary though, I guess you can always get some awesome wilwood aftermarket or something. From the press release: quote:All-new 2015 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack model (late availability) features a 6.4-liter HEMI V-8, punching out a best-in-class, naturally aspirated 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque, Dodge Performance Pages, red four-piston Brembo brakes and 20-by-9-inch aluminum wheels with a starting U.S. MSRP of $39,995 and no gas guzzler tax.
