Dodge Challenger ShakerAfter opening orders for the new 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker, Dodge has received 2,000 dealer orders, or the whole 2014 model year production run, in only four days.

Dodge expected demand to be high for the new Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker models, but even people closest to the model’s development and introduction at the SEMA show in Las Vegas last year were surprised by how quickly dealers ordered the entire year’s production run.

Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO of the Dodge Brand, responded to the dealer orders, saying, “Based on this strong initial demand, it’s clear that our customer are excited about the return of the legendary Shaker model, which was engineered for enthusiasts who asked for even more attitude and a dose of muscle car heritage. The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 Engine with the unique hood and intake design makes this performance car an instant classic – much like the original 1970 Challenger R/T with the Shaker hood.”

For those unfamiliar with the 1970 model, the Dodge Challenger’s Shaker directs cool air back into the engine and “shakes” with the powertrain’s movement, giving it the name “Shaker.” The new 2014 model comes with the Super Track Pack which improves steering, suspension, and braking for the vehicle, and special “Shaker” touches can be found all over the interior including a logo embroidered on the seat back and a “Shaker” numbered dash plaque.

Pricing on the 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker starts at $36,995, or $37,495 with the custom hood-to-tail stripes, and it comes in Header Orange, Plum Crazy, TorRed, Bright White, Billet Silver Metallic, or Pitch Black.

Nostalgia is a powerful tool in all businesses. it reminds us of times gone by and is typically proceeded by a long sigh while remarking “those were the days.” Dodge has gone and conjured up the ghosts of the past by introducing (or re-introducing in this case) the 2014 Dodge Challenger Shaker, complete with a hood calling back to the original muscle car.

The Satin Black Shaker hood lives up to its name, showing people who didn’t know about it just why the name is shaker. It shakes back and forth with the engine’s torque. According to Dodge, the new Shaker hood works with a cold-air intake system that scoops up air and then filters it through a conical air filter. The process continues through a specially optimized air box that improves the airflow and thus the performance of the Challenger.

This includes the high-performance steering gear, a stiffer suspension, and Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car tires.

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T RedlineI hope you’re not too overdone by the onslaught of red that happens on Valentine’s Day.  At the Chicago Auto Show, Dodge unveiled a new Redline package for the Challenger.  The popular muscle car is being given a heavy duty upgrade that fans will definitely want.

The new package is based on the successful 305 horsepower V-6 Challenger Rallye Redline model that released last year.

In order to get a distinct look for the Redline, there will be an all-new two color Redline Red and Graphite stripe that runs all the way from just behind the front wheel to the tail-end of the Challenger.  The back section of the stripe has “Redline” tattooed in Red over the Graphite color.  The R/T Redline will also have a body-color grille surround.

Other color options are available for the exterior in case you really are burnt out on red.  They include Billet Silver, Granite Crystal, Bright White, and Pitch Black.

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T RedlineThe Dodge Challenger R/T Redline has 20-inch Black Chrome wheels along with a Redline Red lip and inner backbone.  If you’re looking to have more precision then you can get the Super Track Pak that comes with Goodyear Eagle F1 P245/45R20 three-season performance tires as well as high performance brake linings and even has a lowered ride height.

To really give the infamous muscle car more power, it will have a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine.  That enables up to 375 horsepower with six-speed manual transmission or paddle-shifting and driver adaptable automatic transmission.

The Redline package is retailing for $1,995.  It’s available on the Challenger R/T and the R/T plus models.  If you’re interested, contact us at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge.  We serve the Queens area for all your Dodge needs.  Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for more Dodge news and special monthly offers.
