Dodge Predators - Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge DodgeDealerNY

It is always great to see new Dodge ads pop up.  Dodge produced two new videos to showcase the how awesome and powerful their Hellcats are.

Showing the Hellcats in this way is kind of rubbing salt in the wound.  Yes Dodge, we all know that the Hellcats are powerful and cool, but it is a tad hard to get one at the moment.  Anyway, the thing these ads do, and do very very well, is show why the Hellcats have been so popular.

The title for the two videos is “Predators.”  It features the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcat in the wild.  Wild is the key word here; the ad sets a very cool vibe and uses numerous visual cues to reflect a jungle look.  Like a wild animal on the loose, the Dodge vehicles burn up and chase each other through the night, scaring away all the other lesser cars.  Add on top of that Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight” and the message of the Hellcats as wild animals on the road hits the bullseye.

The gritty and dark feel with the Dodge car’s red exterior and red lights evokes a unique look for the brand that isn’t shared by the others.  Chrysler has established the washed out look of Americana and Detroit with their Superbowl ads.  Ram hits home the earthly feel combined with country music.  This gives Dodge its own identity.

15 Charger Scat Pack Performance Kit - Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge - 01

The Dodge Charger has been getting a lot of press and noise recently with the SRT Hellcat.  With the fact that the Hellcat is, unfortunately, having a difficult time keeping up with the public’s demand.  Fear not Charger fans, Mopar is still offering a way to get a Dodge Charger with tons of great stuff by giving the 2015 Charger a Scat Pack Performance Stage Kit.

The Stage 1 kit includes a front strut tower brace with caps, cat-back exhaust, cold-air intake, a premium powertrain control module, and a high-flow oil filter.  The performance is increased with an extra 18 horsepower and 19 lb-ft of torque.  The kit even includes a bright pedal kit.

No Mopar kit would be complete without some fancy decorations to show off.  The extra interior flourishes is a host of Mopar logos and door sill entry guards and a really cool Mopar ’15 graphic on the dashboard.

On the outside, the kit gives the Charger doesn’t try for anything big, settling for a simply matte black Mopar ’15 body side graphic.  The Charger is a good enough looking muscle car that there isn’t much one can do to improve on the design, even with a performance kit.

More items will be included as part of the kit besides parts and designs for the car.  The kit comes with things for the driver such as a certificate of authenticity, a replica vintage Poster, and a Mopar Performance fender badge.

Dodge Challenger Sets Record Sales - Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge

The Dodge Challenger has been having a high-point of late.  The Hellcat has been doing very well and with the addition of the Scat Pack it seems clear that Dodge is embracing a new era of muscle cars.  The fans have taken notice and thanks to this new commitment to performance, the Challenger had its best April sales ever.

In the whole of the month of April, Dodge sold 6,771 Challengers.  In comparison to a year ago, that is an increase of 32%.  It is a notch better than March which saw 6,110 Challengers sold.  To mark off this momentous occasion for the muscle car, the April sales are the most Challengers sold in a single month since the Challenger was brought back in 2008.

This is great news for muscle car fans.  Dodge has been making strides into reclaiming the old glory of the muscle car while putting a nice and modern face to it.  The sales for the overall year is still just as strong.  With 22,728 Challengers sold thus far, that puts it above the previous years by 41%.  If this continues, it may top the previous record year for the Challenger which happened in 1970.  That year sold 76,935 Challengers.  Fingers crossed and maybe, just maybe, 2015 is the year of the Dodge Challenger.

Dodge Charger Hellcat: King of the Drift

Dodge Charger Hellcat - King of Drifts

Is the Dodge Charger Hellcat the Chuck Norris of cars?  That’s a pretty odd thing to say, especially after Ram put out a Texas Ranger edition of one of their trucks.  I’m not the one asking it, however, that would be the Inquistir.  They’ve been checking out recent news and videos of the Charger Hellcat and it is hard not to see the thing as something altogether impressive, like the beard of Chuck Norris/

The Charger Hellcat, I feel, has been getting the short end of the stick in comparison to its brother the Challenger.  The Charger is the most powerful sedan available at due to the Hellcat.  With an engine pumping out 707 horsepower, there is few cars in its class that can keep up.

One of the videos they viewed to see the almighty power of the Charger Hellcat is MotorTrend’s Roadkill on YouTube.  They put the Charger up against the other two powerhouses in the Dodge family; the Viper and the Challenger.  The aim of doing this, of putting the car in competition, was to have a drift test.  It’s an impressive sight to see, but it is the Charger that wins the day.  Check out the video, with the specific segment starting at about 17:11 if you don’t have time to watch all of it.

Sadly, the Charger Hellcat has a temporary hold on order new ones from the dealerships.  Turns out that people want something this powerful.  Can’t imagine why.  Hopefully it will not be long before Dodge can met the demand placed on the Hellcats and get these bad boys out to those who want it.  I wonder if Chuck Norris has one.
