For 2012, the Dodge
Challenger SRT8 392 adds even more high-tech performance features to
solidify its place as the brand’s ultimate modern American
rear-wheel-drive muscle coupe. This 470 horsepower machine promises
a balanced performance approach with outstanding straight-line
acceleration, world-class ride and handling, high-performance
braking and the most up-to-date technologies that deliver more
driver excitement and control. And it still gets up to 23 miles per
gallon on the highway.
The 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 accelerates from 0-60 mph in the
high 4-second range; runs the quarter mile in mid-12-second range
with the automatic transmission (high 12-second range with the
manual); goes from 0-100-0 mph in the low 15s, reaches a top speed
of 182 mph with the manual transmission (175 mph with the automatic)
and stops from 60-0 mph in just 117 feet. |

HEMI
Powered:
Powered by
a 392-cubic inch (6.4-liter) HEMI V-8 delivering
470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. The torque
band is extremely flat allowing for strong standing
starts and improved straight-line performance throughout
the rpm range.
An advanced active intake manifold along
with high-lift cam with phasing provides maximum low-end
torque and high-end power while still delivering up to
23 miles per gallon on the highway with the standard
manual transmission. Performance-tuned engine mounts
improve idle stability and ride control at all speeds. |

Standard Fuel Saver Technology (four cylinder mode) in
automatic transmission equipped models allows the engine
to operate economically on four cylinders or use the
power of all eight cylinders when needed. The EPA fuel
economy miles per gallon (mpg) (City/Hwy) ratings for
the 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 are 14/22 for
automatic transmission models and 14/23 for
manual-transmission models. |

A look under the hood
reveals unique valve covers with painted silver ribs and the “392
HEMI” logo, which gives the engine a unique, clean and aggressive
look.
The 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 features a standard Tremec
TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission and a dual-disc high
performance clutch – a proven performer that was first offered on
the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10.
The optional five-speed automatic transmission features new,
standard steering wheel mounted paddle shifters that join the center
console mounted Auto Stick, allowing for a choice of spirited
shifting on both the road and the race track. Both methods give the
driver the ability to manually select specific gears on the
transmission.
In “Drive,” the transmission controller will automatically shift the
vehicle. The aggressiveness of the shifting is defined by the mode
chosen - either “Normal” or “Sport.” Fully adaptive electronic
control of all shifting makes the powertrain more responsive while
minimizing harshness.
In “Manual,” the shift method is defined by the driver choosing to
use either paddle shift or Auto Stick. The “Sport” mode adds a hold
function to the calibration in all gears, allowing the driver full
control of the shifting schedule. |
