Base Color For Silver Paint Dodge Ram
For 2017, and in ceremony of Mopar’s 80th anniversary, the Mopar ’17 is one ambush attractive Challenger. With a absolute of 160 units breach analogously amid the two snazzy, hand-painted two-tone acrylic schemes, 80 cars corrective in Pitch Black/Contusion Blue, and accession 80 in Pitch Black/Billet Silver, it’s a nod to 80 years the Mopar cast has been in actuality from its apprehensive roots as a band of antifreeze articles in the 1930s.
Because of the bound run, don’t apprehend to see accession Mopar ’17 Challenger in the lane abutting to you at the stoplight. That low-production cardinal gives you burning exclusivity. Like back you’re announcement in the late-model appearance car acreage at the Carlisle All-Chrysler Nationals and amid the rows of 2008-2017 Challengers, you’re the alone Mopar ’17s in the accomplished fairgrounds.
“Since its bearing in 1937, Mopar has acquired from the name of an antifreeze artefact to a all-around customer-care brand,” said Pietro Gorlier Head of Mopar Genitalia and Service. “The Mopar ’17 Dodge Challenger, our latest limited-edition vehicle, is a attestation to this philosophy, showcasing how Mopar assists owners in personalizing all FCA US vehicles.”
We dig area the brand’s advancing from and evolving to, and the Mopar ’17 Challenger is a abundant indicator of acceptable things to come.
For example, beneath the Shaker awning of the Mopar ’17 resides authentic Hemi advantage in the anatomy of 392 cubic-inches that puts out 485 application with 475 lb.-ft. of annoy smoker torque. All Mopar ’17 Challengers get the Tremec six-speed chiral transmission, so you’ll accept to row it about town, but that’s okay. After our weekend with the Mopar ’17 Challenger, we racked up over 1,000 afar branch to and from the Motor City to Maple Grove Raceway for the Dodge NHRA Nationals. From the air-conditioned highways of the Ohio and Pennsylvania Turnpikes, to the country anchorage that we aggregate with Amish buggies, the Mopar ’17 was a bang to drive.
Looking at that Shaker awning for our weekend alley cruise to Maple Grove was alike bigger sitting in the achievement seats that are customized with Tungsten Mopar logos and bond that includes the Mopar logo abstract on the seatbacks. The Challenger’s autogenous stands aloft the added calm achievement coupes in its class.
We did about-face abounding active on the alley with the Mopar ’17’s two-tone custom corrective Contusion Blue and Pitch Atramentous livery. The inherent bodylines of the Challenger provided a seamless segue point for the colors. The custom Mopar 392 logo additionally gets hand-painted at the Mopar Custom Shop. The rear accouter addle-brain gets the Pitch Atramentous treatment, and the Mopar Design cast on the addle-brain tells the apple your Challenger is special. Speaking of badges, a appropriate after Mopar ’17 80th Ceremony applique gets installed on the radiator amount abutment beneath the hood.
The alone accessible caster and annoy amalgamation on the Mopar ’17 is the 20 x 9-inch aluminum auto with semi-gloss accents and centermost caps featuring the Dodge logo. Grip comes from 245/45R20 Goodyear F1 Supercar tires. Our complaint is the tires charge to be taller and added to ample up the caster wells and accord the Mopar ’17 a added advancing attitude and bigger handing back pushed adamantine (although we’ve absolutely been baby by the looks of the new Widebody Hellcat.) The four-piston Brembos are good, but the red corrective six-piston versions would be bigger and attending abundant cooler.
The limited-edition Mopar ’17 Challenger awash for $55,790, excluding taxes and destination fees. Will it be a approaching collectable? It’s adamantine to say. With late-model Challenger assembly numbers aerial compared to the aboriginal E-Body, it apparently won’t be in our lifetime, but that’s okay, as it gives us added of an alibi to drive them harder and harder.
Turnkey Mopar Agent HistoryThe Mopar ’17 Dodge Challenger is allotment a bound club of avant-garde beef cars, and what you may not accept accepted is that it’s the eighth limited-edition Mopar-modified agent series. It was about seven years ago back the business association at Mopar came to the ability that back they develop, test, and advertise achievement genitalia and accessories, why not do a absolute run of specialty cartage to advertise their genitalia in activity while announcement the brand?

It alike had the functional, vented T/A-style awning with best awning pins and Mopar logos and cartoon splashed all over.
Mopar ’11 Charger R/TMopar went the four-door avenue and chose a Charger R/T for their Mopar ’11. Like the Challenger, it was atramentous and arranged a 5.7-liter Hemi for motivation, but the Mopar engineers swapped out the banal cogwheel with a 3.91:1 LSD assemblage that badly bigger 0-60 and division mile times.

Mopar added a different Mopar shifter that fabricated the Auto Stick added fun. Like the Mopar ’11 Charger, the cogwheel got swapped from the 3.06:1 to a 3.91:1 final-drive ratio. Burnouts abounding for the 500 units made!
Mopar ’13 DartProbably not the best plan from Mopar, because the Dart’s blah sales, performance, and time on this planet. It did get outfitted with baddest Mopar genitalia and accessories that included achievement upgrades such as a bargain action suspension, revised council calibration, sport-tuned exhaust, ground-effects kit, and exceptional anchor kit with slotted rotors. Five hundred Mopar ’13 Darts formed off the line.
Mopar ’14 Challenger R/T ShakerFor 2014, the branch Shaker advantage alternate on the Challenger R/T and back accession was allotment of a Mopar upfit program, it fabricated faculty do a different branded vehicle. The Mopar ’14 Challenger was accessible in Bright White or Gloss Atramentous exoteric acrylic and they had two Mopar band options. Already again, the 5.7L Hemi provided the ability and only100 units were built.
