The 2011 Dodge Charger has hit the showroom here at Fox Chrysler Dodge Jeep and WOW, it's a sight to be seen! If looks and muscle are your thing then the 2011 Charger does not disappoint. Here's what the guys on Autoblog had to say about it: "Lift the hood of a 2011 Dodge Charger R/T and you'll find a powerful 5.7-liter HEMI engine bursting at the seems. It's a joyous site that gets better when armed with the knowledge of the HEMI's prodigious power - 370 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque, to be exact. But just how accurate are those numbers? The folks over at Inside Line put the Charger R/T to the test on their dyno, and it appears Chrysler may be underplaying its hand. Test by Inside Line show that the Charger R/T sends 360 hp to the rear wheels at 5,300 RPM, with torque peaking at 393 lb-ft at 4,260 RPM. When you consider that the average drivetrain accounts for a 10 to 15 percent power reduction before its all sent to the wheels, you're looking at a powertrain with a lot more bite than the company brochure cares to admit." Those are pretty strong words! Whenever any company, let alone a car company undersells their product that has to be a good thing. Come in to Fox Chrysler Dodge Jeep and see one of these awesome machines in person. I promise you wont be let down... *Full credit goes to Autoblog. To read the full story click here.
