2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 dyno’d – is the 392 underrated



challenger 392 dyno 450x300 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 dynod   is the 392 underrated?
Hemi. The mere mention of the word is enough to strike fear into the hearts of lesser powerplants… or at least images of a pair of scrubby-looking bottom-feeders that really love themselves some Ram Trucks. In any case, we’re keenly interested in the latest Hemi engine from the Dodge Boys, in this case displacing a heady 392 (or so) cubic inches and placed gently inside the engine bay of the 2011 Challenger SRT8.
Not only is this new Hemi larger than the already oversized version it replaces, it’s also considerably more potent. The Pentastar says that its new 392 kicks out 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque – substantial improvements over the outgoing SRT8′s 425 hp/420 lb-ft. But those are factory ratings, and we all know those don’t necessarily match what’s actually under the hood of production models.
Thankfully, the crew over at Inside Line managed to score enough time with a 2011 Challenger SRT8 to strap it down to a proper dyno. And the results? How about 452 horses at 6200 RPM and 443 lb-ft at 4400? Yep, that’ll do nicely, and it means that Dodge may actually be underrating its potent performer just a tad. Oh, and for what it’s worth, IL managed to record 370 horses and 343 lb-ft from its 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS on the same exact dyno. Chevy’s answer ought to be coming in the form of a Z28 with over 500 supercharged ponies… Stay tuned, the horsepower wars are clearly still in full swing.

The electric motor is a potential source of new driving sensations thanks to its exceptional acceleration capabilities, but also because it is silent in operation and makes the car very easy to drive (no need for a gearbox).

2011 Ford Taurus Review

The 2011 Ford Taurus is a full-size sedan that seats five people. It is available in SE, SEL, Limited and SHO trim levels. Standard equipment on the SE includes 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, keyless entry with an access keypad, cruise control, a six-way power driver seat (manual recline), a 60/40-split-folding rear seat, a tilt-and-telescoping steering column, steering-wheel audio controls and a six-speaker stereo with CD/MP3 player and an auxiliary audio jack.

The SEL adds 18-inch wheels, automatic transmission paddle shifters, heated mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, upgraded cloth upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and satellite radio. The 2011 Ford Taurus is powered by a standard 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 263 hp and 249 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard with this engine and all-wheel drive is available on SEL and Limited trim levels. All-wheel drive drops it to 17/25/20.

The Ford Taurus SHO features a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 making 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. Every SHO is all-wheel drive. Despite its impressive output, estimated fuel economy is the same as the regular all-wheel-drive Taurus.

2011 Ford Taurus

Every 2011 Ford Taurus comes standard with antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, front side airbags and side curtain airbags. Optional safety features include a blind-spot warning system, pre-collision warning system, a cross-traffic warning system (when reversing) and rear parking sensors. A rearview camera is standard on Limited and SHO models and optional on the SEL.

Although the 2011 Ford Taurus can hardly be called exciting, its a big improvement over the pre-2010 version. The Taurus SHO benefits from a lot more power, but its a little less transformational than in past SHO Taurus sedans—in part because the SHO puts the power to the road with such stoicism and a lack of pulse-raising excitement. Front seats in the Ford Taurus are a little constrained by the large console, though it has great room for tall drivers. The Ford Taurus is strong on safety. The Taurus SHO also offers an optional rearview camera.

The long list of standard features on the 2011 Ford Taurus means even base versions are well-equipped. The Taurus SE gets an AM/FM/CD player with MP3 playback; tilt/telescope steering; a 60/40 split-folding rear seat; a power driver seat; and power locks, windows, and mirrors.

The 2011 Ford Taurus offers good performance and a stylish design, as well as excellent cabin electronics and safety scores. When Ford redesigned the Ford Taurus in 2010, it added some much-needed life (and competition) to the affordable large car class. With the updated Taurus, buyers now have two very good options when shopping large cars.

2011 Dodge Avenger Review

Dodge Avenger
Dodge Avenger

The mid-size 2011 Dodge Avenger sedan gets a new drive train, new suspension pieces and new front and rear clips as Chrysler tries to rehab the image of this rental-car mainstay.

The Avengers sheet metal carries over virtually unchanged. Inside, the Dodge Avenger gets a new dash, which looks great, with convincing quantum leaps in style and materials. The lower half of the Avengers dash seems to wear lower-grade plastic than the 200, and some of the same carryover gauges and buttons are more noticeable, surrounded by better-quality bits.

A 2.4-liter, 173-horsepower four-cylinder carries over from last years Dodge Avenger as the base engine in the 2011 Dodge Avenger, but the new 3.6-liter pent star V-6 is new across the board to the Chrysler lineup. The new V-6 drops 283 horsepower in the front-drive Avengers engine bay, with 260 pound-feet of torque twisting through a six-speed automatic transmission. In five different trims, the 2011 Dodge Avenger spreads out standard features and options.

Virtually every Dodge model received serious upgrades for 2011, and the poor, sorry Dodge Avenger got its share too. Optionally, Dodge’s brand-new 3.6-liter pent star V6 replaces the old 3.5-liter, and produces a class-leading 283-hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, up 48 hp and 28 lb-ft for ’11.

With an increase in both front- and rear track, wider tires, and lower springs (12 mm front, 6 mm rear), the car handles itself with aplomb. The standard 17-inch wheels aren’t bad, but 18-inchers are available on mid- and high-end models.

It will also get unique 18-inch wheels, special paint colors, a body-colored grille and special interior treatment.

Gone are the hard plastics and large gaps that long characterized Dodge interiors. – build truly competitive products.

The $21,245 Main Street should be the sweet spot for Avenger sales by adding the six-speed automatic, an eight-way power seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel, climate control, heated mirrors, a six-speaker stereo, and 17-inch aluminum wheels.

The $23,545 four-cylinder Lux should be easy to pigeon-hole, with heated leather seats, Connect hands-free, plusher materials, chromed 18-inch wheels and more, while the V6 is available for a price.

The 2011 Dodge Avenger rides well, but thats overshadowed by lingering quality issues and a cabin thats not as comfortable as its competitors.

With the optional V-6 engine, the Dodge Avenger was one of the quietest non-luxury cars Ive driven lately. If quiet is what you want in a family sedan, check out this car.

An all-new 3.6-liter V-6 is optional (a 2.4-liter four-cylinder is standard), and it makes the Dodge Avenger an acceptably quick car.

Meanwhile, fuel economy for the V-6 Avenger is mudpack: it gets 19/29 mpg. The Avengers tighter confines manifest themselves in a few ways. The Avengers front bucket seats are unusually small and unsupportive, and that compromises comfort.

And if it still goes wrong, there is a full roll cage that the impact energy to the driver leads. The roof is now a rescue hatch that rescue workers easier access to the interior can get.

Mercedes E Class Cabriolet Facelift spy

If the regular Mercedes E-Class gets a new look, then the Cabriolet that course. We caught Mercedes most zonbegerende E-Class in autumn colors captured by Southern Germany.

A facelift is Mercedes with some regularity quite extensively. Most recent examples include the C-Class and R-Class with a completely new front received. That is for the E-class little else. The heavily criticized LED daytime running lights were already tightened and now also have the dual headlights believe it. Together with a redesigned front and rear bumpers and a new grille design Mercedes pulls back completely this time.

Traditionally makes way for sports
What concerns us is the facelift not a luxury. The E-Class is now nearly four years on the market and in that time a portion of its lost luster. The most traditional design of the Mercedes range is outdated and looks stiff. Especially for the coupe and convertible can be a bit more sportiness no harm. And there seem to Mercedes designers therefore fully focused to have.

New Auto Performance Fast Car Modifications


A stage 1 RB26 ready to be fitted. You can by a complete engine straight from Mines. You can choose between a stage 1 (480hp) or a stage 2 engine (580hp). All engines are hand build by Mines chief engineer Nakayama San. A complete stage 2 engine without the ancillaries will cost you 3.000,000 yen. I could import a nice car for that LOL.


I noticed we didnt had a lot of Toyota Supras on Speedhunters. Its not that we dont like the car, but its hard to find a really nice example. I think I have found one. The car has some nice features like the Top Secret carbon diffuser and the red color coded rims. Not sure on the make of the wheels but Im sure you guys can help me out.


A final shot of their Nissan R35 GT-R. The car is rocking a new ESTA suspension system specifically designed for the road. The OEM rotors are replaced by Mines items and the pads are upgraded by Pagid ones. Mines claims that when you purchase their Titan exhaust system, VX filter replacement and their VX-Rom you will have power increase of 50 to 60hp.

I still like the Mines mentality although I do not have the money to buy any of their products, well I do have a key chain. Maybe someday.

Mini Traveller Scooped


Carscoop MINITR 0 Mini Traveller Scooped
It’s been nearly two years since we first laid our eyes on the Mini Traveller Concept Frankfurt and its colourful spouses, the…witty named Detroit, Geneva & Tokyo Concepts. However, it’s not over yet since we’re waiting for the Traveller to make a comeback at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show. Only now, it’s going to be the final production version, which will go on sale in Europe in 2008. Automotorundsport has managed to scoop a bunch of pictures of the production version during test runs. Interesting enough, the car spied seems to be fitted with opposite-hinged rear doors, though the duck-tape may have been used to fool us. In any case, the Traveller will be definitely more practical and spacey than the new MINI with which it’ill share the same engine range. Via: Automotorundsport
