During this week, we’re testing a car really special. Taking advantage of a stay of a few weeks in the united States, and the great kindness of FCA Automobiles, we have it for a few days of a spectacular 2016 Dodge Challenger R/T 392 HEMI Scat Pack Shaker. A tribute to rolling the golden age of the muscle car, a car that is not amilana to the more lightweight and dynamic Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro: you know that exudes personality and authenticity. the Front pure, vintage aesthetic, feelings, and more feelings.
at The wheel of the tradition in the Dodge Challenger
Because only the milk comes in cartons of a liter. And we have on our hands the production V8 with more displacement of the time – with permission of the Camaro Z/28.
The Dodge Challenger was renovated almost entirely in 2014. Muscle car that was born in 2008, even with strong influences of the age, Daimler, has been transformed in a tribute of the new FCA Automobiles to its past. The hand Italian is appreciated in an interior completely renovated, with the latest evolution of the system infoentainment Uconnect. In the thorough testing we will talk about the Uconnect, and especially of their Performance Pages, where we can register our quarters of a mile, or our acceleration until 60 mph.
But without a doubt, the work on the exterior of the car is that it takes all the merits. Without changing one iota the shape of the bodywork, they have managed to make it more modern and more vintage at the same time. A calender threatening and dark, with four optical small in size. Huge 20-inch wheels, a long way behind with new LED optics. That color-limited production called Plum Crazy, rescued from the years of pain-era muscle car. The aftertaste of the story never abandons us to the wheel of the Challenger.
Scat Pack: another name born in the late 60’s, as a set of dynamic enhancements for your muscle car Mopar.
The Challenger Scat Pack are somewhere between the juicy R/T and the gross SRT 392, already openly focused on the high performance. Some so-called “SRT Light”, already equipped with the engine 6.4 V8 HEMI 492 HP of the SRT 392, without riding all of your improvements at the level of the undercarriage. But there are substantial improvements with respect to the R/T: forget your “small” 5.7-liter V8 HEMI, will grow up the brakes, and a sport-tuned suspension Bilstein, among other “sweets”. It is a R/T that has been pounded in the gym.
can Shaker?
And what is that Shaker? In its origins, a direct admission connected directly to the motor, projecting to the outside through a hole in the hood. It was premiered also in the 60’s, with the idea of making the cars faster and eye-catching. Is called Shaker by be the motor anchored: it moves with its ups and downs, accelerations or going over bumps. A spectacular sight from the inside of the car. What removes visibility? Yes, but in an homage to rolling the golden age of the american car, we a damn.
Measures almost five metres and exceeds the two tons of weight. But don’t ever go with him…
Is it chav? What is not efficient? Does your technology has been surpassed? Yes to all questions. And would not change a single detail of the car. we should Not think of this Dodge Challenger as the last cry of the technique, but as a reinterpretation today of those epic Challenger of the late ‘ 60s. If you want to know something in particular about the Dodge Challenger, disparad comments through our social networks or escribidlos in this article. Little by little I will be telling more details.
