  • 2015 Dodge Charger R/T equipped with Mopar ’15 Performance Kit

    The current Dodge Charger R/T is a bit underwhelming in stock form, with its 5.7-liter Hemi only churning out 370 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ [NYSE:FCAU] official accessories division Mopar has set out to rectify the issue, however, with a power-boosting package now available for the car.
