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. |

Old vs. New: 2014 SRT Viper takes on upgraded 16-year-old Dodge Viper
Fri, 08 Feb 2013It's easy to play the "Would you rather have a New X or an Old Y with a bunch of upgrades?" game more often than we care to admit, but the crew at Car and Driver have taken bench racing to the next level with their latest video. In it, the magazine pits a brand-new 2014 SRT Viper against a highly modified 1997 Dodge Viper GTS. There are 16 years between the time this particular GTS rolled off the production line and when the new car bowed, but that doesn't mean the old snake's owners have been sitting on their hands.
Thanks to a spate of modifications, the GTS offers up a better power to weight ratio than the new machine, but is that enough to overcome the technological leap forward represented by the 2014 Viper? We won't spoil it for you. You'll just have to check out the full clip below for yourself.
Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans
Fri, 18 Jan 2013As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:
Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]
Wed, 20 Aug 2014No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
