Bullz-Eye reviews the 2011 Dodge Challenger
The guys over at Bullz-Eye recently had a chance to test drive the all new 2011 Dodge Challenger. The Challenger is one of the most iconic models on the road today, and after you see the Bullz-Eye gallery and read Gerardo’s review, you’ll know why.
Here’s an excerpt from the Bullz-Eye review:
While I’ve been a big fan of the new design, I didn’t truly appreciate the new Challenger until I was invited to drive the SRT8 392 in San Francisco. The car is simply amazing. I drove the automatic version and it was a joy to drive – I didn’t miss the manual at all. No matter what speed you are traveling at, the car does exactly what you want it to do whenever you touch the gas pedal and it responds with a muscular roar. The car is a torque monster – the 392 Hemi is rated at 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. The entry level version of the Challenger has received an upgrade as well, replacing the 250-horsepower V-6 for Chrysler’s new Pentastar V-6 with 305 horsepower.
The handling was also very impressive considering this Challenger is the largest and heaviest of the classic American rear-wheel-drive sport coupes. I drove the vehicle through the winding roads of Highway 1 outside of San Francisco along with some straightway stretches and some city driving, and I had a smile on my face the entire time. I love the power and the feel of the car – it’s everything you would hope for in a muscle car. Reports suggest the 2011 version offers a significant upgrade over previous models, which I didn’t drive.

Bullz-Eye drives with Dodge in San Francisco
Bullz-Eye’s Gerardo Orlando recently took a trip out to San Francisco to get behind the wheel of the newest generation of Dodge vehicles. He was lucky enough to have perfect weather, which yielded some really nice photos. We’ve put together the images and a nice summary of the driving experience over at the Bullz-Eye Blog.
Here’s a quick excerpt:
The real treat of the day was the 2011 Dodge Challenger. I had the opportunity to drive one of the Inaugural Edition versions of the 2011 Challenger SRT8 392. This car is beautiful as you can see from the slideshow above, with the white paint and the blue racing stripes, and it’s the ultimate American muscle car. Frankly, I can’t remember a car I enjoyed driving more than this one. The car is a torque monster – the 392 Hemi is rated at 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. I drove the automatic version, and this car is a beast! When you hit the gas at any speed, this car does exactly what you want it to do as it respond with a muscular roar. It handles beautifully as well, and any car enthusiast will fall in love with this 2011 Challenger.
