Here at West Herr Dodge, we have the honor of having into our inventory, the brand-new Dodge Challenger, which gets more powerful engines and suspension revisions to keep it running and rocking in 2011. Challenger’s cabin are highlighted by a new steering wheel with more ergonomically integrated controls for the audio and cruise control systems and other functions. The dashboard instrumentation gets new faces, and assorted trim is regrained or softer to the touch.

2011 Dodge Challenger near Buffalo, NY

The 2011 Dodge Challenger continues in three trim levels: the Dodge Challenger SE V-6-powered base model, the Challenger R/T V-8 model, and the maximum-performance Challenger SRT8 392. The Challenger SE it puts out 305 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque.

The 2011 Challenger SRT8 392 also is available with both the six-speed manual and five-speed automatic and it’s a beast with either, thanks to a revised Hemi V-8 of 6.4-liters versus 6.1. The 6.4-liter displacement translates to 392 cubic inches and triggers the addition of the “392” suffix to what had been simply the SRT8.

General Overview

The 2011 Dodge Challenger continues with an admirable range of features that can tailor one to your budget-watching needs or create a rather luxurious grand-touring coupe.

Every 2011 Challenger has four-wheel disc brakes with antilock management for better control in emergency stops, traction control to limit tire slip during takeoffs, and antiskid stability control to mitigate sideways slides. Head-protecting curtain side airbags for both seating rows are also standard, as are a manual tilt/telescope steering wheel, power driver’s seat, and a split rear seatback that folds to create a cargo-passage from the trunk.

All 2011 Challengers come with alloy wheels; sizes are unchanged, with 17s standard on the SE, 18s standard on the R/T and optional on the SE, and 20s standard on the SRT8  392 and optional on the R/T.

Other Features

Returning 2011 Challenger options, depending on the trim level, include a power sunroof, remote engine start for automatic-transmission models, leather upholstery, heated front seats and mirrors, and xenon headlamps. Also available will be a voice-activated navigation system with real-time traffic information and Chrysler’s Uconnect multimedia system that includes USB iPod interface and steering-wheel audio controls.

The 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT 392 comes with xenon headlamps, functional hood scoops, leather upholstery, special sport bucket front seats, and dashboard readouts that track 0-60-mph acceleration times, lateral G-forces, and other lead-foot data. Dodge also is offering the 2011 SRT8 392 Inaugural Edition, a special model whose production is limited to 1,492 cars.

The Inaugural Edition rides on exclusive 20-inch wheels and tires and gives buyers a choice of a white exterior with blue stripes running the length of the car or a blue exterior with white stripes.
