This past weekend I attended the 215 LX Spring Festival in Irvine, California and while it would be impossible to show you every car in attendance, over the next few days I will bring you my favorite cars from the show, beginning today with my top ten favorite Dodge Challenger models in attendance at the gigantic modern Mopar show.

Since the Chrysler Group announced that they had suspended the ordering process for the Hellcat powered Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger, there are quite a few people and media outlets reporting that Hellcat production has been suspended – which simply isn’t the case.

America wants a Jeep Grand Cherokee Hellcat. The only question is can it work for Fiat Chrysler America?

We have already looked at the detailed pricing of the R/T, SRT 392 and SRT Hellcat versions of the 2015 Dodge Charger and today, we look at the most budget minded go-fast package for the Mopar muscle sedan – the 2015 Charger R/T Scat Pack.

This past weekend, the 2015 Dodge Charger funny car continued its domination of the class in the 2015 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series, with Don Schumacher Racing’s Ron Capps winning his first event of the season, the third win in three events this year for Schumacher’s team after Capps’ team Matt Hagan won the first two events of 2015.

Due to the overwhelming number of preorders for the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, the Chrysler Group has temporarily restricted orders as they work to meet the early demand for orders already placed while also validating the current orders – which we clarify here for all of those spreading rumors around the internet.

We have seen more than a few videos showing the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat racing against a variety of high performance vehicles and today, we watch as a lightly built Cadillac CTS-V Wagon with 600 rear wheel horsepower gives a stock Hellcat Challenger a very good run – but it eventually comes up short.

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat are among the most powerful production cars sold in America and with a price starting under $65k, they have proven to be far more popular than initially expected with over 9,000 people placing orders thus far – leading to lengthy delays in delivery that are likely to stretch well into the summer and maybe even into next year.

Fast and Furious will see its 7th and final chapter on April 3rd when Furious 7 hits theaters around the US, with the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger joining the 2015 Jeep Wrangler and a classic Dodge Charger to represent the Chrysler Group very well in the action packed go-fast flick.

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SXT and the 2015 Scion FR-S are two very different cars, but with very similar prices and the fact that they are both sporty two-door cars, someone looking to spend around $27,000 on a fun daily driver could find themselves considering these two cars – which we examiner side-by-side today.

Those gamers who have been looking forward to driving the 2015 Dodge Charger in the virtual world only have to wait a few more weeks, as the redesigned Charger R/T will debut on Xbox One’s Forza Horizon 2 later this month as part of the new Fast & Furious expansion package – along with a handful of other cars ranging from the Jeep Wrangler to the Toyota Supra to the 1970 Dodge Charger R/T.

The redesigned 2015 Dodge Charger is gradually reaching dealerships from coast to coast and even though a great many internet know-it-alls guaranteed that the new high tech looking front end was certain to lead to a sales flop – the numbers are in for February 2015 and they are very good for the new Charger.

The Chrysler Group has announced a voluntary and preventative recall of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat to inspect a seal in the fuel line of the 707 horsepower Hellcat Hemi, even though not a single customer has experienced the problem that has caused this recall.

Those 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat owners who preferred the “Supercharged” emblems on the front fender rather than the Hellcat head logo can now purchase the original text badge through the Chrysler Group dealership parts network for as little as $40.

The folks from Hot Rod recently took the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat to the Kenne Bell Performance dyno facility in Rancho Cucamonga, California and during the piece detailing that dyno testing, Hot Rod mentioned that Kenne Bell is working on a Hellcat-like supercharger system for the 2015 Challenger Scat Pack that will lift the output to 901 horsepower.

Matt Hagan brought his 2015 Dodge Charger funny car into the Carquest Nationals in Phoenix Arizona looking to back up his season opening win in Pomona and the champ didn’t disappoint – winning every single round with a better reaction time and an awesome time.

Now that the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat has proven itself as the most powerful muscle car in the world, the only true gap in the Dodge lineup is a Challenger TA inspired by the Viper TA and powered by the Hellcat Hemi – which would be ideal for the prospective Mopar muscle car buyer who wants high performance without the luxury goodies.

Since the day that the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was introduced, the Chrysler Group has insisted that it was the quickest, fastest and most powerful 4-door production sedan in the world – but a new video shows the Hellcat Charger backing up that claim against five of the highest performance sedans in the world.

The image shown above of what is stated to be the 2017 Dodge Charger is not an image from the Chrysler Group and I can say without question that the car shown above will not be coming to your local Dodge dealership in 2017 – or ever.

About a month back or so, a video hit YouTube showing a Tesla P85D beating the tar out of a poorly driven Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, but a new video showing that same 707 horsepower Challenger has it running proper quarter mile times – and reportedly wanting a rematch with the 691hp Tesla.

The Chrysler Group has announced that they are now accepting orders for the 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker models, bringing even more retro styling to the already extensive Challenger lineup – with orders for the more powerful Scat Pack Shaker beginning next month.

We have seen plenty of videos showing the Hellcat Challenger and the C7 Corvette Z06 racing other cars and each other, and today we have a new clip of these two heavy hitters going head to head on the open road – along with a Mustang GT500 that is badly outmatched by the blown Mopar muscle car.

We have previous looked at the detailed pricing on the 2015 Dodge Charger in SXT, R/T and Hellcat form, but today, we take a look at the prices and options for the SRT 392 Charger – a model which will likely end up being the stronger-selling of the SRT packages.

After winning the GTD class in the Rolex 24, the Riley Motorsports Dodge Viper GT3-R team had hoped to take a run at the GTE Am class of the 24 Hours of LeMans, but when the official entry list was announced late last week, the Viper team finds themselves on the outside looking in.

The configurator tool for the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is live, meaning that you can build and price the world’s most powerful sedan and begin planning the necessary financial position to buy the fastest 4-door production car ever.

This past weekend marked the competition debut for the new 2015 Dodge Charger funny car and things couldn’t have gone much better – 2014 series champion Matt Hagan driving his Team Mopar Charger to the winner’s circle, beating teammate and fellow Charger driver Ron Capps.

While the Dodge Challenger trailed both the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro in January sales, the numbers from the first month of 2015 are a very clear sign that the 2015 Challenger has led to a big spike in muscle car sales for the Chrysler Group – one which is likely to continue as we get into the summer.

Dodge got everyone’s attention at the 2014 SEMA Show when they introduced a Viper ACR Concept that looked very much like a production friendly model and according to an insider who spoke with Allpar, the Viper American Club Racer will become a production reality this summer.

There were a great many popular commercials during this year’s Super Bowl broadcast, but the 2015 Dodge Challenger 392 Shaker and a collection of very old people to grab the attention of viewers during the NFL’s championship debut – and what is arguably the biggest advertising day for the American market every year.
