CATS Motors, Inc., the exclusive distributor of Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge is starting the year with a head turning Dodge Challenger SRT8. This SRT or Street and Racing Technology, product development formula that features five proven hallmarks: awe-inspiring powertrains; outstanding ride, handling and capability; benchmark braking; aggressive and functional exteriors and race-inspired and high-performance interiors.

The 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 tops the model range with its massive 470 horsepower and 637 Nm of torque from a 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 and an adjustable track-tuned suspension. The added torque allows for inspired standing starts and improved straight-line performance while new, performance-tuned motor mounts improve idle stability and ride control at any speed. The performance SRT-tuned, fully-hydraulic steering system has also been improved with a new, heavy-duty pump and revised gearing to give drivers more direct feel and on-center response. Added from the 2011 model is the Fuel Saver technology in automatic transmission equipped models, which allows the engine to operate economically on four cylinders or use all eight cylinders when needed.
Known for its world-class ride, power, handling and braking performance, the standard SRT performance brake package produces world-class stopping power of 96 to 0 km/h in just 35.7 meters from 14.2 inch (front) and 13.8 inch (rear) vented/slotted rotors with four-piston Brembo fixed calipers painted red. The three-mode electronic stability control system with knockback mitigation also includes four-wheel ABS, all-speed traction control, electronic brake-force distribution, Brake Assist and Hill-start Assist (HSA). The Ready Alert Braking system anticipates when the driver quickly releases the accelerator pedal and may initiate an emergency brake stop, after which the electronic stability control pump engages to set brake pads against rotors in order to decrease the time required for full brake application.
The race-inspired interior begins with a new, leather wrapped, heated, SRT-exclusive steering wheel that features a unique satin chrome rim section with a flattened bottom surface that showcases the SRT logo.
