Even though the 2012 Dodge Avenger R/T isn't as R/T as some other dodges--it just uses a standard Pentastar V-6 for motivation--it's still a significant upgrade over the stock Avenger, and judging by the car's presence on the floor of the New York Auto Show, people will notice it on the street...

After seeing the Dodge Avenger rally car prototype hit the gravel hard, we were left wishing it would one day see competition. Unfortunately, that model was just an exercise. The 2012 Avenger R/T, however, is very real, and will be on display in New York this week. Offering an upgraded, stiffer...

A cryptic and somewhat oddball release from Chrysler today reveals that testing is underway for the next-gen Dodge Viper, due in late 2012. The subject of the test? Stability control. Sadly no details on the next-gen Viper, expected to bear a 2013 model-year tag, were released. Testing is currently...

The Viper is dead for now, but it's living on in the hands of racers, and proof came again this week with Kuno Wittmer piloting the SRT10 ACR version of the car to a 1:59.995 lap record at Miller Motorsports Park. The lap was turned on the 3.048-mile Outer Course configuration, equating to an...

We've already seen a sketch of the 2011 Mopar Charger, and now Dodge has released details and a handful of photos. The Mopar Charger will be powered by the 370-horsepower, 395 pound-foot 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, and the engine comes equipped with a specially-tuned controller that matches maximum engine...

While we all like to go on about horsepower or differentials or suspension arms when discussing new cars, we often overlook the place where you and your car spend the most time together--inside the cabin. In order to recognize this aspect of vehicle development, Ward’s Auto releases a list...

Although the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab is usually all about Jeeps, that doesn't mean that Chrysler's Ram truck brand can't be part of the fun. Mopar, Chrysler's performance arm, has "Moparized" a Ram truck partly in the spirit of the Easter Jeep Safari and partly to fight against Ford's mighty...

Whether you're a fan of Rod Stewart's brand of crooning or not, you have to appreciate the story behind bright yellow Viper on display at the Volo Auto Museum for the first time since its theft. Stolen from under the eye of a Florida policeman by Rod's freshly-fired gardener from his Palm Beach...

Mopar, the aftermarket performance division of Chrysler, has its sights set on the Dodge Charger. Details are so sparse as to be non-existent, but we expect the 2011 Mopar Charger will consist of some performance accessories--perhaps a cold-air intake or stiffer suspension--and some styling...

Every so often, movie directors find themselves in a bind. Maybe their budgets get slashed. Maybe their scripts aren't quite as awesome as they first thought. Maybe they wake up and realize, "Holy crap, we cast VINCE VAUGHN." That's when they start scrambling, throwing everything they can at the...

The name Samuel Hubinette is synonymous with drifting, his personal drift team, Samuel Hubinette Racing (SHR), having sent all manner of high-powered vehicles sideways including Dodge Challengers and Vipers and even a Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV. We’re now less than a fortnight out from...

Owners of 2008-2010 Dodge Challengers can now add even more power to their cars, thanks to Lingenfelter. The company is offering a supercharger for 2008-2010 Challengers that can be installed on either the 5.7-liter V-8 or the 6.1-liter V-8. The Magnuson TVS2300 unit has a 160-degree thermostat...

Fuel prices might be on the up and up but that hasn’t stopped Indiana-based Lingenfelter from releasing a new supercharger kit for the Dodge Challenger muscle car. Lingenfelter is certainly no stranger to modifying muscle cars and its latest kit sees some big numbers from the...

Jay Leno is no stranger to cars of any kind, much less muscle cars--perhaps especially the Challenger. He was, after all, one of the first to take delivery of the SRT8 on its debut in 2008. In this video Jay Leno takes the 2011 Challenger SRT8 392 into his garage and gives it the once-over.

Sales of the Dodge Challenger were up by 50 percent year-over-year, to 3,227 units, in February. That compares to 6,245 Camaros sold by Chevrolet and 3,697 Mustangs sold by Ford. For the year in total, 5,753 Challengers have been sold, which is also a 50 percent increase. It's hard to say what...

At last count, there were at least five reasons to love the internet: 1. [REDACTED] 2. Cat videos. 3. The Oatmeal. 4. The lovely and talented High Gear Media family. 5. The opportunity it provides crazy obsessive people to show off their handiwork. And in service of #5 comes news that graphic...

Last month, we told you that GM cars would soon feature built-in charging devices from Powermat and that the Chevy Volt was first in line for the goods. Now, Powermat has announced that it'll soon offer a version of its wireless charger for cell phones and other mobile devices that will fit any...

Several Dodge products are in line to receive an upcoming eight-speed automatic transmission, and the Dodge Challenger SE is one of them. The current five-speed automatic will likely stick around for a bit, but Autoblog is reporting that the brand's LX platform cars--the Charger and...

The Chicago Auto Show has been a bit of an underwhelming affair, though perhaps none more so than yet another special-color paintjob on the Dodge Challenger. The Dodge Challenger R/T Classic in the new Green With Envy color will entice retro-loving Mopar muscle heads, but few others. The new Green...

Re-sculpted for the new model year and sporting the new 465-horsepower 6.4-liter HEMI common to the SRT8 line, the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 is an imposing piece of American machinery--particularly in SRT8 trim. The gaping maw of a grille, aggressive body kit, and massive wheels work together, but...
