2009 DODGE ChallEnGEr/ChallEnGEr SrT8® ThE markET

ThE markET ChallEnGErWith the right stuff available in the LX platform RWD and powerful HEMI® V8s the 2009 Challenger answers the call for a two-door muscle car from Dodge customers and fans. The result is a look that’s familiar, but with much improved proportions over the original, featuring a wider stance, less front and rear overhang, larger tires and wheels and a better fit and finish.

Inside, the four round cluster gauge pods reflect the then-and-now Dodge priority of no-nonsense sporty functionality. The center console angles up and toward the driver creating a cockpit-like driver’s space, just like the 1970’s car. A contemporary “pistol grip” shifter design motivates the available six-speed manual transmission. The monochromatic interior is finished with upscale materials and rich trim stitching. The front buckets feature aggressive bolsters consistent with the performance capabilities of the car, yet retain the comfort and luxury of the other LX-based products. Rear seating is exceptional for a two-door coupe, providing belted seating for three passengers and a standard fold-down center armrest, as well as 60/40 fold-down capability coupled with a spacious trunk.

Challenger is immediately a serious competitor in the Standard Specialty segment long dominated by the Ford Mustang, along with the soon-to-be-available Chevrolet Camaro. Challenger is built on the highly successful LX platform that produced the Dodge Charger. In function, technology, and luxury, Challenger is a two-door Charger, yet offers the sporty image only a high-performance coupe can provide.

Although Ford Mustang will be Challenger’s most cited competitor, Challenger is a significantly larger, more refined, and more sophisticated product. Challenger is only 4.0" shorter than Dodge Charger, but is 9.5" longer, 2.8" taller, and 1.7" wider than Mustang. While Mustang seats four, Challenger seats five and offers 3.0 cu ft more trunk volume. Challenger offers a litany of features not offered on Mustang, including Electronic Stability Program, a sophisticated suspension (SLA in the front, full independent five-bar link in the rear), side-curtain air bags, sunroof, navigation, HID headlamps, Keyless Go, 20-inch wheels, electrochromic mirror, Remote Start, and universal garage door opener.

Challenger is an iconic car in the Dodge showroom, filling the need for a bold, powerful design and high performance for Dodge/Mopar enthusiasts. As an American icon, it will attract both reminiscent boomers and younger image-conscious Gen Xers to Dodge. 2009 Dodge Challenger combines nostalgia with today’s technology, turning a discretionary toy into savvy transportation.

ThE markET ChallEnGEr SrT8A showroom-condition 1970’s Hemi Challenger can easily fetch $200,000. Today’s Dodge showroom can beat that deal with a better Challenger SRT8 at a price that’s about 80% less.

The sleek all-new 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 with a complete arsenal of American muscle delivers big power and exhilarating performance with superb handling and the confidence of tremendous braking. Nostalgic flair and modern technology provide no-nonsense performance enhancements both inside and out. Challenger SRT8 can hold its own with any macho machine available.

Challenger SRT8 honors the past with the modern and technologically advanced version of the holy grail of brute power. This 6.1L HEMI V8 provides the highest specific output V8 engine ever offered by Chrysler. Featuring 425 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque, Challenger SRT8 can also handle like a slot car and offers a 60-0 mph braking distance of approximately 110 feet. The performance is rooted in a combination of special modifications from Chrysler Engineering and hardware from respected and dominant aftermarket suppliers, such as Brembo® and Tremec. Quite literally, the 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 is the ultimate “resto-mod” an enthusiast would build if money were no object and thousands of man-hours in the garage were readily available.

Most Challenger SRT8 customers are 34- to 54-year-old males with a healthy income potential ($80,000 to $100,000). Younger buyers with similar incomes and affection for “old school” prowess are also intenders. These enthusiasts aspire to command the road and are drawn to Challenger SRT8’s “race-inspired, street-legal” attitude. They possess a passion for the road and a strong desire to be noticed. For them, Challenger SRT8 represents a successful quest and a well-deserved achievement.

2009 DODGEChallEnGEr SrT8®

hiSTOriC hEmi® V8 pOWErChallenger SRT8® features a 6.1L SRT HEMI® V8 engine delivering 425 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque, the highest specific output in Dodge engine history. The 2009 Challenger SRT8 HEMI V8 features a 25% increase in horsepower output and a larger horsepower-per-liter output over the legendary street Hemi® of the ’60s and ’70s. Challenger SRT8 puts this awesome power to the pavement through a specially calibrated, 5-speed driver-selectable AutoStick® or a Viper-inspired 6-speed Tremec manual transmission and robust clutch also based upon proven Viper performance technology. Whether equipped with the AutoStick or available 6-speed manual, a Sure Grip limited-slip rear differential ensures none of that power is needlessly wasted.

hanDlinG ThaT rESpECTS ThE TranS-am ChampiOnShipJust as the Challenger T/A commanded the Trans-Am racing circuit in the ’70s, the 2009 Challenger SRT8 is engineered for control with the performance-tuned Electronic Stability Program (ESP)(1) that features Brake Assist and all-speed traction control. The enhanced suspension system and large antisway bars deliver the ultimate in high-performance handling a smooth ride with optimum control. Confident command of the road rides on available Goodyear F1 Supercar P245/45R20 All-Season Performance tires with asymmetrical treads.

STrOnG muSClE WiTh ExTra FlExWhen the Dodge Challenger Concept toured the auto show circuit, the response was loud and clear. Throngs demanded it be built. The SRT8 takes the aggressive Challenger design and accentuates elements to enhance speed and performance. Up front, integrated air ducts in the front fascia help cool the brakes, while lift is reduced by the lower air dam. The Performance hood with functioning hood scoops draws plentiful cool air into the engine compartment. The bold, black rear deck lid spoiler increases downforce for high-speed stability. Functional styling cues ensure that Challenger SRT8 is as slippery as it looks.

STOp-in-YOur-TraCkS BrakinGModern performance accolades must include braking. Benchmark performance is assured, as Challenger SRT8 is equipped with some of the best braking components available on the planet. That’s why Brembo® four-piston calipers and ventilated discs are the heart of this high-performance four-wheel disc antilock brake system. The result is panic stops of 0-60 mph in approximately 110 feet. If you’re going to go fast, you’d better be able to stop fast!

With high-performance driving in mind, SRT8 even reduced brake knock-back. Brake knock-back mitigation is standard on SRT8 models. Brake knock-back counters the tendency caliper pistons and pads have, of getting pushed away from the rotors when driving through curves at high speeds on closed handling courses. This pad knock-back causes added brake pedal travel during the next braking event. Knock-back mitigation corrects this by utilizing the lateral G sensor and the ABS pump. The lateral G sensor determines when knock-back may have occurred and the pump primes the brake system to reseat the pads; resulting in less pedal travel during the next braking event.

raCE-inSpirED inTEriOrThe awesome power and performance offered by Challenger SRT8 require that the driver be in a position of control. Deeply sculpted and highly bolstered sport seats with power adjustments hold occupants in place during maneuvers. The microfiber suede inserts and unique accents provide comfort and a striking appearance. The custom instrument cluster features a 180-mph speedometer and a driver-configurable display for oil temperature and pressure as well as tire pressure. The Performance Display offers readouts for 0-60 mph,

-mile time, -mile time and more. The design, layout and feel of the SRT8 interior are focused on driver control and command.(1) No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome

careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the ESP warning lamp flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior to prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions.

DEmOnstratiOn DrivE

As customers look for factors that differentiate one dealer from another, the Demonstration Drive is becoming more important to the sales process.

According to recent surveys, close to 70% of new car purchasers list it as an “extremely/very important” factor in their decision to buy. Even more critical, close to 80% of satisfied customers cite it as an “extremely/very important” factor in their choice of dealership.*

Customers who take a Demonstration Drive are far more likely to purchase a vehicle than those not offered one. How a vehicle looks, sounds and feels are very important differentiators for a customer choosing between similarly equipped and priced vehicles.

The Demonstration Drive provides customers with a “glimpse of the ownership experience,” whetting their appetite for more. It also allows you an additional opportunity to explain features and provide answers to questions.

Accompany your customer on the Demonstration Drive, driving first so the customer can experience the vehicle as a passenger. Point out key features. When it’s time to let the customer drive, let them enjoy the experience without distractions. Don’t speak unless asked a question.

The Demonstration Drive should highlight those features the customer can experience firsthand. No need to oversell. Let the vehicle’s performance, quality, and innovation speak for itself.* Automotive Retailing Today telephone survey cited by Newspaper

Association of America.

DElivErinG thE vEhiClETaking ownership of a new vehicle is a significant event for your customer. The goal of Delivery is to make certain the customer is completely satisfied with the vehicle and excited about owning it. There are two steps in this process:

reinforce the wisdom of their purchase decision•

Make sure the customer fully understands how to • operate their vehicle

To support their purchase decision, remind them of all the features that make their vehicle unique — the Why Buys. By reviewing these features and their benefits, you can make a product advocate out of your customer.

The second step is to demonstrate features. Show how a feature operates, then ask the customer to perform the same operation to be sure they understand it.

2009 DODGEChallEnGEr Why Buy?

Challenger 1

rEturn OF thE ultimatE DODGE musClE •Car — Dodge Challenger conjures up an aura of performance, style and command of the road seldom matched by other vehicles in today’s market. This new design unquestionably delivers the Challenger people expect with styling born from the original. It’s apparent upon first glance as well as upon careful examination. Beyond its powerful stance, particularly striking features include the available racing-style gas cap, aggressive and sporty wheels, and the long hood with raised center dome and twin simulated scoops

hEmi• ® PErFOrmanCE anD imaGE — Two HEMI V8s are available: the 5.7L VVT with fuel-saving Multi-Displacement System (MDS) technology and the awesome bad-to-the-bone 6.1L SrT® HEMI engine with a host of internal modifications to help ensure over-the-top performance for many, many miles to come. To ensure every horsepower and pound-foot of torque pay off, a Viper-based, precision-shift Tremec 6-speed manual transmission is available. And because Challenger’s designers and engineers have thought of everything, there’s even Hill Assist Start for manual transmission applications. Dual exhaust with a signature sound and unique square bright exhaust tips identify Challenger’s presence. Because today’s performance requirements go beyond the quarter-mile, Challenger features available ESP,(1) a limited-slip differential and performance brakes as well as a totally independent rear suspension for maximum handling

usEFul tEChnOlOGy yOu EXPECt • — While the Challengers of the early-’70s were often bare-boned, the 2009 Dodge Challenger offers all the sophistication today’s buyers demand and expect. For cutting-edge entertainment, uconnect gps(2) with navigation and real-time traffic alerts is available, as is the interconnectivity of uconnect phone in-vehicle communications system.(3) Available remote start or the Keyless GO button-start system takes convenience to a special level. For unparalleled visibility on the open road, Challenger also offers available High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps

EasE OF CustOmiZatiOn With mOPar “DirECt •COnnECtiOn” — Since a true American muscle car is reflective of its owner, each 2009 Dodge Challenger can be as unique as its owner, including the value-priced SE. Stripe choices are available via the factory or the dealer through Mopar. There are limited-edition High Impact Paints that hearken back to the ’70s. In addition, Heritage-style wheels, as well as alternate hood and spoiler options, are available through Mopar or through the dealer. Inside Challenger, customizing buyers can select from alternate shifters, metal pedals, and premium mats


(2) uconnect gps in-dash DVD capability is not available in all states. See your dealer for details.

(3) Must use Bluetooth® compatible phone.

Face it: Dodge Challenger is an indulgence. It’s a vehicle someone purchases because they deserve a reward … a testament to their hard work and accomplishments. But, Challenger combines nostalgia with today’s technology, turning a discretionary toy into savvy transportation. The following key reasons to buy Challenger should be shared with anyone that asks. But, more importantly, be sure to examine these points with prospects in your showroom and on your lot.

Controls the wheel spin across a driven axle (similar to • limited-slip differential)

If one wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster than the • other, the system will apply the brake and slow down that wheel

Allows more engine torque to be successfully applied • to the wheel if it is not spinning

ESP is designed to assist drivers in maintaining control • of their vehicles during extreme steering maneuvers

Provides added driving confidence particularly in rain • and snow

Brake Assist helps driver stop sooner in emergency • situations by reacting faster than a human being

Provides the shortest possible stopping distance in • emergency braking situations

All-speed traction control helps reduce wheel slip as • the vehicle is accelerating

Provides increased driving confidence on all road • surfaces, but especially on sand and gravel as well as wet and snowy roads

* No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the ESP warning lamp flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior to prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Always wear your seat belt.
