Bullz-Eye reviews the 2011 Dodge Challenger RallyE

2011 Dodge Challenger RallyE

Bullz-Eye recently took the 2011 Dodge Challenger RallyE out for a little test spin. The car has that beautiful mix of homage to the classic and innovation toward the future. The guys have been behind the wheel of a Challenger before – the SRT8 392 back in January – but the RallyE was a brand new experience.

Here’s an excerpt from the review:

The new-for-2011 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 24 -alve VVT engine featuring double-overhead camshafts (DOHC) with dual-independent cam phasers (DICP) produces 305 horsepower, which is 55 horsepower more than the previous engine. I want to make things clear that this is not the big HEMI but the power is sufficient and the 18 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway clearly make the 305 horsepower V6 a serious option. The 2011 Dodge Challenger’s new five-link rear-suspension design features new roll-steer geometry, allowing independent control of camber which explains the constant feeling that you are in total control of the vehicle, even when taking some tough corners. Some of the handling improvements originate from the all-new electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS) system, which transmits precise road feel to the driver and improves on-center tracking and fuel economy. Bottom line is the 2011 Dodge Challenger RallyE with the Super Sport Group (SS/T) will most certainly satisfy the muscle car lover in us all.

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.
