2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392
Articles
June 20, 2013
Although equipped with navigation, a hands-free phone system, and digital audio sources, the head unit's quirks don't have the nostalgic connotations of the Challenger's 1970s profile. The 392 badges on the fenders make a historical reference to an earlier version of Dodge's Hemi engine and recall a time when we used cubic inches instead of metric liters to measure engine displacement. Piloting the 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 special edition in heavy traffic on a damp road, I began to list all the other cars I would rather be driving at that moment. The Challenger looks good and justifies its retro-muscle-car status with a massive engine, but wouldn't be my first choice for making a quick trip out to the grocery store. Among the retro muscle cars, I've always preferred the design of the Challenger over the Camaro and the Mustang. In SRT8 392 form, the Challenger gets the aforementioned badges on the front fenders and wide racing stripes down the middle. The Challenger is also a...
” It sounds like one of those contrived car colors from that groovy era around 1970: Lemon Twist, Sub-lime and Vitamin C. My first car was a DodgeChallenger painted Plum Crazy, a supposedly hip shade of purple. Fruit-based wines have a long history in the U. S. Native grapes yielded rough flavors, for one, and existed only in certain regions. But this apple wine from Five Trails in Paxton carries more credibility. The taste is pure, unsweetened apple—smooth and refreshing, with a noticeable flavor of skin. With a nose almost akin to mulled apple with a faint leafy aura and impression of bruised fruit, it extends a promise of summertime and patios. At just nine percent alcohol, it’s a beautiful warm weather wine. Pioneers and farmers were forced to be creative, fermenting elderberry, dandelion and other locally abundant plants into something palatable (one hopes) and alcoholic. Yeah, I know—“Sassy Apple.
What it the difference between the 1970 dodge challenger T/A and the R/T?
I cant quite figure out the difference between the 1970 dodge challenger R/T and the 1970 doge challenger T/A
but 1 more question. is the 1969 ford mustang mach 1 428 cobra jet ram air or the boss 420 better then each dodge challenger?
and what about the 1972 dodge charger (asked by Brennan on July 21, 2009)
A: The Challenger was introduced in 1970 with two models:
BASE CHALLENGER
hardtop
SE formal hardtop
convertible
CHALLENGER R/T
hardtop
SE formal hardtop
convertible
The standard engine in the R/T was the 383 Magnum. Optional was the 440-4, 440 Six Pack, and 426 Hemi. The 340 was not available on the R/T, no matter what anyone tells you - they're wrong.
The base Challenger could be had with the Slant 6 or the 318 standard. From there, you could get the 383-2 and the 383-4 (almost like an R/T incognito). The 340 also was available on the base Challenger (hardtop and ragtop only) as the 340 Performance Package . . . and this is where the T/A comes in.
As Dodge decided to offer the 340 package on the base Challenger, it only makes sense that the Challenger T/A package was offered on the base Challenger. This package - only available on the hardtop - came with a fiberglass hood similar to the 1969 A12 Super Bees and Road Runners, special striping, side-exit exhaust (except in CA, I believe), a special spoiler package, and a 340 engine with Six Pack carburetors, among other heavy-duty equipment. This model was produced to certify certain modifications legal for Trans-Am racing (get it? T/A? But Pontiac already dibs for the name). The front and rear tires were of different sizes - very unusual at the time - and was the best-handling Challenger of them all. Despite a 1971 advertisement showing the T/A would return, none were built.
Regarding your Mustang question, I'd say the CJ is equivalent to the Challenger's Six Pack. Parts are much easier to find for the Mustang. The Boss 429 was practically hand-built, and in some ways it can't be compared to the Challenger because of the modifications that were required for it to be built. However, bone-stock Boss 429 cars tended to disappoint road testers at the time because it wasn't as fast as it looked (despite 13-second times, like a Hemi Challenger R/T). However, Boss 429s have been super-expensive for a very long time.
The 1972 Charger . . . depends on the model. There was the R/T replacement called the Rallye which had a 400 standard and could have a 340 and 440 optional (about 5 or so Six Packs were built before it was cancelled on the first week). You could also get the 440 on the SE. This was the first year for the low-compression engines, so 1971s tend to be more desirable but the 1972 have their own appeal and can still be fast.

A: on the challenger the t/a was usually the 340 six pack cars,and the r/t could be anything from a hemi up to a 440 six pack car,i owned a hemi car and also a 440 car,in answer to your question on the ford ,i have seen a few of those back when they was new beat a few hemi challengers,we use to drag race every saturday night at one certain spot ,and there was cars that would come all over including kentucky to drag race with us,in 1973 i beat a 71 challenger with a 68 barracuda,and the cuda was only a 340 car,the challenger a t/a car 340 six pack,i wouldn't say the ford was better though,a lot of it was in the driving,good luck (answered by dodge man on July 21, 2009)
Q:
What cars look like a 1970 Dodge Challenger?
'70 seems to cost too much.
Any other makes/models.
Does not have to be strictly dodge.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
NOT the new challenger :P
>.>
Just cars that look VERY similar to the challenger.:D (asked by Steve on June 20, 2008)
A: 1965 gto or a new challenger (answered by i'm me on June 20, 2008)
A: the barracuda is exactly like it but they are just as expensive the only difference is the grill and they only have one headlight on each side instead of two or you could buy the new Challenger that's coming out at least you ll get a warranty (answered by David M on June 20, 2008)
Q:
how much does a 1970 dodge challenger cost?
The cheapest one if possible, in decent condition, don't really care about the packages and engine that much. All im after right now is the tough look of the challenger (asked by alan_antilon on December 25, 2008)
