The dodge Challenger was conceived in the late 1960s as Dodge’s rather late response to the pony-car wave that was started by Ford with their Mustang. These First generation Dodge Challengers were built between 1970 and 1974.

The Challanger had a performance model the R/T which was an abbreviation for abbreviation for (Road/Track). These were built only until 1973 after which the name fell away. In 1970-1971 there were convertible and hardtop R/T models, although interestingly enough they were no 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T convertibles ever factory built during 1971 all 1971 model convertibles were built in 1970.

1971 Dodge Challenger R/T

1971 Dodge Challenger R/T hardtops had the option of being ordered with the more luxurious SE specification. Choices included leather seats, vinyl roof, smaller rear window, also an overhead interior console containing three heads up warning lights (open door, fuel gauge, and seatbelt warning). The 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T also came with a Rally instrument panel that included the 150 mph (240 km/h) speedometer, and an 8,000 rpm tachometer.

As the performance model the 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T head four Engine options with a 383 CID Magnum V8, rated at 300 BHP (223.7 kW) this was a drop from 335 BHP (249.8 kW) in 1970, due to a drop in compression .The other Optional R/T engines included the 440 cu 375 BHP 79.6 kW in (7.2 L) Magnum, also the 440 CID Six-Pack 390 BHP (290.8 kW) and then finally the 426 cu 425 BHP (316.9 kW) in (7.0 L) Hemi. The 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T car came with a Standard transmission which consisted of a 3-speed manual.

Due to the drop off of production by nearly 2/3 in 1970 the performance model 1971 dodge challenger R/T or by far the hardest to come by .The Production numbers for the 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T were only 3,814 down almost 10,000 from the year before all of which contribute to the demand and value of this legendary muscle car.

The quarter-mile performance figures of the different engines listed in ascending order with firstly the 383 Magnum R/T doing it in 14.3 seconds going at 99 mph with the ultimate top speed of 59 km/h. The 440 Magnum R/T coming home in 13.8 seconds at 102 mph with its top speed 164 km/h. The next best performance was in the 440 Six-Pack, clocking in at 13.4 seconds at 107 mph with a top end speed of 172 km/h. Finally the top performer of them all was the 426 Hemi doing the quarter mile in 13.2 seconds at a 108 mph top speed of 174 km/h.

In conclusion the 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T has become a rare collector's item firstly due to production issues way back in 1971 and now and was time increasing demand and affecting the supply that is left are available in the market. This is a true American muscle car.

This concept car was launched in Britain, and has attained popular success among coupe vehicle owners. Also known for its similarities to the Dodge Daytona which hasn’t been in production since 1993, the Dodge Avenger was in production since 1995; it was debuted with a 103” wheelbase, had two engine options, and either manual or automatic transmissions. The car quickly adapted 16” wheels, which immediately became standard. In year 2000, Dodge discontinued the 4-cylinder engine, leaving the Avenger with a 6.0L engine. An extra sports trim could be purchased separately, and it included alloy wheels along with other sports accessories and options.

2006 Dodge Avenger Concept

The 2006 Dodge Avenger Concept is a bit of a downgrade, but it was designed to fit the European market, which isn’t as power-hungry as American muscle car lovers. It holds a 2-liter, 122 cu. in. engine with direct fuel injection. This red-hot sedan looks appealing to prospective buyers who are looking for a mid-size class vehicle. The innovative design features a long hood, a sexy rear spoiler, and slick shoulders that could have made a bold statement on the American roads, had this model been put to production. The 2006 Dodge Avenger Concept breaks away from the boring presumption that all mid-size class cars are your average sports vehicle.

It’s a shame that this four-door car didn’t have a market for it in the United States at the time of its debut at the Paris Motor Show. Perhaps this was because of it’s small diesel engine, yet gas-guzzlers like the ever-popular Hummers survived nonetheless. The designers decided to up the wheel game by putting 19” silver five-spoke wheels on the 2006 Dodge Avenger Concept. Its attractive chrome tip exhaust pipes sounded nice, and the red break pads that could be seen through the wheel spokes made it truly stand out of the crowd. The car’s deep side sills, short height and solid traction made it overall a fun to drive car.

How did it fare in Britain? The 2006 Dodge Avenger Concept was Dodge’s second concept car. It was also Dodge’s fourth vehicle on the European market; according to their spokesperson, the car would provide stiff competition to Mazda6 and Alfa Romeo 159. The truth is, Dodge needed to leverage their market due to lowering numbers in car sales in the U.S. As of Q3 of 2006, Dodge sold over 1,840,000+ vehicles in America, but only 129,300 cars outside of the United States. Due to the oncoming recession, Chrysler knew that Dodge would need to become a household name overseas, and this is exactly what they tried to do by introducing the Avenger in Europe.

Dodge’s latest entry in Europe was the 2008 Dodge Journey, which featured a bigger engine and more transmission options. However, this 5-door wagon doesn’t even come close to the sex appeal of the 2006 Dodge Avenger Concept, which the United States, unfortunately, will never see.

]]> http://www.classicmusclecarsale.net/dodge-muscle-cars/2006-dodge-avenger-concept/feed/ 0 2009 Dodge Viper http://www.classicmusclecarsale.net/dodge-muscle-cars/2009-dodge-viper/ http://www.classicmusclecarsale.net/dodge-muscle-cars/2009-dodge-viper/#comments Mon, 18 Jan 2010 16:25:50 +0000 Larisa M. http://www.classicmusclecarsale.net/?p=204 If you’re looking for a luxury sports car for around 100 grand, the 2009 Dodge Viper is definitely worth a look. Originally made in 1992 to be a sports convertible, the designers finally added a hardtop roof to this model four years later. Now, the 2009 Viper brings you a sexy combination of power, handling, and speed with an exterior body that’s sure to turn heads on the street.

2009 Dodge Viper

The Viper saga began in 1992, when Dodge released a rare lineup of just 200 cars. Their newly-introduced model came equipped with a 8L 488 cu. in. V10! Now, if that couldn’t impress a luxury sports car buyer in 1992, then it’s unclear what else could. This two-door bullet had a manual 6-speed transmission, and could crank out 400 horse powers. In 1996, Dodge added more colors to its palette of choices, and it redesigned the Viper’s exhaust pipes to enclose them, rather than leaving them open as before. According to their engineers, this improved the Viper’s horse powers by 15, to 415hp. They also restyled the wheels, and made a removable hardtop an optional upgrade. A GTS coupe version was also introduced; it boasted a 450hp engine, and featured a set of crucial improvements, such as 17” wheels, an anti-theft system, safety-oriented redesigned seats, dual airbags, a better CD stereo, as well as power windows and adjustable pedals.

In 1997, Dodge continued to improve the Viper; particularly, the original Roadster featured all the nice upgrades that the GTS coupe had. They redesigned the exhaust system in 1998, making it lighter, and added metallic silver as a color option. By 1999, the Viper was upgraded to 18” wheels, a redesigned interior (including optional leather), and black color for the GTS. In 2001, ABS and two new colors were added. During the following years, Dodge continued to tweak the interior options, adding support for upgrades like Sirius radio, navigation systems, and iPod/MP3 support.

If you’ve ever seen a Dodge Viper on the road, you’ve probably noticed the unique side exhaust pipe that’s located under the door rather than under the back bumped. This unique feature is what makes a Viper… a Viper. So how far has the 2009 model come?

This rear-wheel beast is at 600 horse powers, thanks to the enormous 8.4L V10 engine and 6-speed manual gears, which come standard on the Coupe and the Roadster models. This means acceleration from 0-60mph in under 4 seconds, and a ridiculous 11.8 second quarter-mile time. No wonder many video games and movies have picked up on this car, featuring it as one of the best in its class! The 2009 Dodge Viper’s independent, 4-wheel suspension and coil-over shock absorbers are made of light aluminum, and provide a low center of gravity. Along with a wide-stance design, this means unparalleled stability on the road. Also, the 2009 Dodge Viper offers state-of-the-art Brembo breaks, featuring 14” rotors all around. No other car can break from 60mph to 0mph in under 100 feet like the 2009 Dodge Viper.

The interior looks, feels, and smells luxurious; with leather seats and professional-grade equipment installed on the dash board, you really feel like you’re driving a sports car. Although the 560 pound-feet torque sounds impressive, it comes at a price; approximate city gas mileage is estimated at 13mpg, or 22mpg on highways. You’re looking at doing about 260 miles per gas tank, and the 2009 Dodge Viper takes 16 gallons to fill up. Other things to consider prior to buying this explosive rear-wheel drive vehicle are insurance prices, as well as cost of maintenance: because there’s only a limited amount of 2009 Dodge Vipers out there, the cost of parts will be through the roof for this american muscle car.

From 1968 until 1970, the Dodge Super Bee gained a reputation of the low-price American muscle car. At just over 3 grand, the Super Bee was one of the most affordable bangs for your buck that you could get at the time.

1969 Dodge Super Bee

Stylish and fast, the 1969 Dodge Super Bee was a natural rival of the Plymouth Road Runner that was very successful. Because both Dodge and Plymouth are a sub-division of Chrysler, the two brands were competing for the title of Chrysler Performance Division. The Dodge "Scat Pack" Bee design was implemented, creating a new image for Dodge muscle cars. Based off of the 1968 Coronet, the 1968 Dodge Super Bee was first shown at the Detroit Auto Show that same year.

The Dodge Super Bee was a very well-designed, fancy vehicle with stylish bee-styled stripes, a chrome grille, and a larger wheelbase than the Coronet that it was based off of. The interior had a number of impressive features, like a sophisticated gauge, along with a speedometer dash cluster that only added on to the price of the vehicle; this wasn’t a big hike at first, but eventually negatively affected its sales over years. A 4-gear manual transmission was an optional.

All three years, the Super Bee featured a 383-cu-in. 6.3L big-block V8 engine, as well as a 426-cu-in. 7.0L Hemi V8. They were capable of producing 335 and 425 horse powers respectively. In 1970 – the Dodge Super Bee’s last year in production – a monster 390 horse power 440-cu-in. 7.2L big-block V8 was available. After 1971, the Super Bee blended with the Charger, with a smaller big-block engine. From then on, it wasn’t on the production line for 36 years until it was re-introduced in the market as the 2007 Dodge Charger SRT-8. Year 2009 marks the modern Dodge Super Bee’s 3rd year in re-emergence; this limited-edition vehicle is a rare find, as only 425 of them were made.

But don’t feel unpatriotic buying it; after all, it does belong to Chrysler. Once you get to know this car better, you won’t be surprised J.D. Power and Associates called this vehicle the “Most appealing mid-size sporty car.”

2009 Dodge Challenger R/T

The 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T is a 5-passenger, 2-door coupe. It comes from the same year as the competing Charger, but features a more sleek design with a sporty look that’s sure to make heads turn. With good fuel economy, it does 25 miles per gallon on highways and 16mpg in the city. It features the same engine as the Charger lineup – a 5.7L V8 Hemi MDS VVT. It comes with all-speed traction control, an electronic stability system, dual bright exhaust tips, and a smooth 5-speed automatic AutoStick or 6-speed manual transmission. It rates high on safety, as well; the 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T has advanced multi-stage front air bags. Not to mention the standard anti-lock brake system, hill start assistance, brake assistance for maximum stopping power in case of an emergency, tire pressure monitoring and automatic headlamps that don’t need the driver’s help. The 2009 Dodge Challenger truly feels like a freaking spaceship. The 3.06 axle ratio provides a solid stability on the road and the cloth-covered low-back bucket seats are extremely comfortable – perfect for a low ride.

2009 Dodge Challenger RT

Dodge has test-driven the 2009 Challenger over 3,200,000 miles before debuting it to the public – and for good reason. They’re committed to customer satisfaction, so in 2009, they rolled out a lifetime warranty in addition to secondary powertrain and other warranties for new car buyers. Don’t forget the 5-link rear suspension system. With world-class James Bond style handling on a rear-wheel drive platform, you really get your money’s worth with this American muscle car.

The technology in this car blows the competition out of the water. The 2009 Dodge Charger R/T comes with a state-of-the-art MyGig entertainment system that includes a GPS navigator, a Bluetooth cellphone connectivity link, SIRIUS radio, and remote start that lets you start the engine at the push of a button.

For upgraded, street-legal racing performance, you can soup up your 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T to get between 500 and 700 horse powers. For additional options on engine upgrades, talk to a local car dealer near you.

The Charger reemerged as a modern, high-speed American muscle car. Adapted by police departments across America, it delivers tremendous horse power to officers. True story: my friend who got to ride one with a cop asked her, “So how nice is the Charger?” to which she replied, “I don’t know, but it’s fast as hell!”

2009 Dodge Charger SRT8

The 2009 Dodge Charger SRT8, powered by a gigantic 5.7 liter Hemi V8 or a 6.1 liter SRT Hemi V8 engine capable of producing over 425 horse powers and 398 lb-ft torque (the police squad cars do just 355hp at 395lb-ft torque). The cheaper version of the 2009 Dodge Charger SRT8 is a 3.5 liter SOHC V6. It has a front axle that’s only connected to the transmission when needed. This improves gas mileage: the 2009 Dodge Charger SRT8 models offers 1 to 2 miles per gallon improvement on highways. General car specifications are as follows:

  • 5-speed AutoStick brand automatic transmission (4-speed manual available on lower-end models)
  • 3.06 axle ratio
  • SIRIUS satellite + AM + FM + CD + MP3 radio with 4 or 6 speakers
  • 8-way power driver’s seat
  • 18” aluminum wheels
  • Anti-lock brakes on all 4 wheels
  • Sentry Key anti-theft security system
  • Fog lamps, power windows, AC unit

The best thing about the 2009 Dodge Charger? Dodge is confident enough to offer all of its new-car buyers a lifetime warranty on all parts. Plus, for three years or 36,000 miles, you’re covered bumper to bumper – anything from electrical malfunctions to car part failure will be repaired at absolutely no cost to you. Knowing how expensive maintenance for a 2009 Dodge Charger SRT8 could be, this is very nice for new car buyers, because you don’t have to budget for car repairs, and that’s always helpful no matter what the economical conditions are.

It’s not a rebate offer and it doesn’t require a lease or a trade-in or anything like that. They are the first OEM car manufacturers to ever offer a warranty that beats the previous benchmark of 10 years or 100,000 miles – lifetime guarantee is something new on the car market, and with Dodge, it’s exclusive to the 2009 Charger model.

This model was capable of producing 400bhp, which was innovatively fast for 1962. The Dodge Dart 413 sort of puts its engine out there right in the name: it was a 413-cid V8. Plymouths and Dodge brand cars didn’t have 413-cid V8 engines until 1961, so it’s fair to say that Dodge jumped on the bandwagon pretty early. Up until then, sports cars had wedge-shaped chambers, but in 1962, the combustion chamber’s performance was maximized in the 1962 Dodge Dart 413. What became known as the “Max Wedge” engine featured two four-barrel carburetors. It came with a standard 3-speed manual or a fancy push-button type TorqueFlite. Because it was as light as a mid-size car but had the power of a full-size, its torque and acceleration were nearly unparalleled.

1962 Dodge Dart 413

Specifications:

  • OHV V8 engine, 413-cid displacement
  • 2x4bbl fuel system
  • 13.5:1 compression ratio
  • 420 horse powers at 5400RPM
  • 470lbs-ft torque at 4400RPM
  • 0 to 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds
  • 0.25-mile drag in 14.5 seconds going just over 100mph
  • Aluminum pistons
  • Solid lifters
  • Magnaflux connecting rods
  • Double-breaker ignition

As you can see, the Dart 413 has quite some history behind it. Originally designed as a show-car with an aerodynamic design in 1956. The 1962 version became truly compact, as the Dodge Dart was Dodge’s first entrance in the compact car market. The 1960 sat on 116” wheelbase, and the vehicle could be purchased in three models: Pioneer, Seneca and Phoenix. In 1961, the design changed a bit, as well as the standard 4-chamber carburetor was offered.

The 1962 Dodge Dart 413 was its best and last year, thanks to the introduction of the Max Wedge engine that burned oil like today’s Hummers burn gas. Thanks to newly designed rubber insulators, however, the engine vibrations were greatly reduced from all previous cars that have come before, which was a big perk. An interesting interior trick involved the car seats, which swung out to “greet” the driver or the passenger when a door opened in front of an empty seat. It rolled back to the straight position after the person would sit down and close the door. With all of this, the 1962 Dodge Dart 413 was priced at around $350 at the time of its debut.
