Another novelty of the Dodge was Ram Truck: great pickup, which has, incidentally, a circle of admirers even in our country. The car is equipped with a standard 5.7 liter engine capacity, power of 390 hp, with maximum torque of 370 Nm
Moment on the wheel passes the most common five-speed automatic transmission. However, manufacturers point out that this is the combination turns out quite economical. Bright appearance and the initial price of $ 22,870 certainly would provide a popular car in its segment.

Here is the new ad entitled Snowpocalypse Dodge. The scenario is quite fun and is intended as a parody of disaster movie. It shows people panic when the first flakes fall of snow, and rugged cars stuck on the road or even customers who are raiding the shelves of a supermarket. The whole is enhanced by music that reinforces the side "scary" situation. Of course the owners of Dodge 4 wheel drive (Durango, Charger and Journey) remain confident about Zen and the handling of their car, for them it is not the end of the world but just snow.

The 2010 model year marks the end of the line of the second generation Dodge Viper, and most likely total the end of the snake. From the original concept car debuted in 1989, the Viper has embodied the American spirit of reckless excess. Captured the imagination of car enthusiasts and manages to draw attention today. The Viper is as it always has been, a field of wild animals by road is also difficult to drive because it is rewarding. Price of 2010 Dodge Viper Coupe from $91,005

Power transmission for 2010 Dodge Viper Coupe is a completely crazy 8.4-liter V10 engine that roars at 600 horsepower and 560 lb-ft of torque. This engine starts Viper mass from zero to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds with the light on the quarter mile in 11.6 in a single second to 125.7 mph. Despite its low weight, we found CAB to be a little faster. Top speed is a claimed 200 mph. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox, which is the only transmission available. Fuel economy – but obviously after the fact that the exotic sports cars – saving an estimated EPA of 13 mpg city / 22 mpg highway and 16 mpg combined.
Access to the driver’s seat can be challenging for some. Because the exhaust side of the marks, the side rails can become hot enough to burn the calves, the best drivers and find that the rather small opening of the door makes entry and exit. Those whose bottom is wider than the average can also find the seats a little uncomfortable tight.
The overall design of the interior of the Viper is pretty sad, but it may brighten a bit with the optional two-tone colors and dashboard inserts. Gauges in black and white face are easy to read and well positioned. The speedometer is mounted in the center of the large instrument module, next to the speedometer 220-mph-max. The center console seat additional gauges, audio system with CD player, air conditioning and a juicy red button Start to start the V10. We will avoid the optional navigation system because it is an older model with a smaller screen and picky, unintuitive controls.
The best safety equipment for the 2010 Dodge Viper Coupe is not included in the car. E ‘skill of the driver, preferably racing pedigree. What is, however, antilock brakes are massive 14-inch rotors which can stop the Viper 60 km / h in one eye swollen-104 feet. Conspicuous by their absence are the side airbags, traction and stability control – skills that make driving even more critical.

2011 Dodge Challenger Revealed in Detail, Plus New Photo Gallery
0 comments Posted by tattoos at 11:45 AM
After a long wait, the details and photos of the subtly refreshed 2011 Dodge Challenger coupe are finally in, but the changes are far less spectacular than expected. If you want the short story, the 2011MY version of the Chrysler Group's muscle car gains a new Pentastar V6 for the base model and a 6.5-liter V8 for the SRT8 (already previewed on the Inaugural Edition special), plus a revised suspension and some barely noticeable styling changes.
If you are able to spot a cosmetic difference on the outside, chances are you're probably working for Chrysler's design team. At the front, there's a restyled trapezoidal front air dam with a larger opening while the Dodge logo has been removed from the hood.The larger "duck bill" front spoiler in black, the racing-style fuel-filler door and the 18-inch alloy wheels which are now standard on all models, plus the Challenger logos on the front fenders, pretty much round up the exterior updates.
From launch, the Challenger has been criticized for having one the most lackluster interior designs of any sports car. Unfortunately, that's not going to change with the 2011MY.
For some reason, the Chrysler Group's cost cutters decided to limit changes to the new three-spoke steering wheel, which by the way, is the same one found on the other 2011My Dodge models like the Grand Caravan [...], some minor updates to the instrument panel gauges and redesigned seat structures, with the front pair now featuring seatback tilt- with memory. Finishing the interior upgrades is the addition of standard automatic climate control on all versions.
Under the sheetmetal, the Detroit automaker's engineers redesigned the front- and rear-suspension geometries and added new parts to improve handling. In addition, a revised brake-pedal ratio and refined brake booster promises to better braking response and feel, while an all-new electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS) system completes the package.
Buyers will have the option of three powerplants. The base Challenger SE is motivated by the firm's new 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine producing 305 horsepower, or 55 more horsepower than the engine it replaces. The new Pentastar is not only more powerful, but also lighter than the previous V6 helping to slightly improve the front-to-rear weight distribution (52.4 / 47.6 compared with 53.5/46.5 previously). The V6 is paired to a five-speed automatic transmission with Auto Stick.
Next up is the Chrysler R/T which keeps the 5.7-liter HEMI V8. When paired to the refined Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission, the V8 churns out 376HP and 410 lb-ft accelerating the Challenger R/T to 60mph in under six-seconds. With the five-speed automatic transmission the eight-cylinder unit is rated at 372HP and 400 lb.-ft. of torque (542 Nm).
Dodge had previously released details on the SRT8, which will be offered at launch in a special edition guise (see here). Power is provided by a 6.5-liter HEMI V8 with 470-horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, or 45HP and 70 lb-ft more than the previous SRT8's 6.1-liter V8 engine.
The 2011 Challenger will hit dealerships within the next few weeks.

As for the 2011 Challenger SRT8 392, the limited run model debuts Chrysler's new 392 c.i. [6.4-liters] V8 HEMI rated at 470 ponies and 470 lb.-ft. of torque.
