it's time for show-off Sunday, where
everyone has a chance to show off their
own car, and here's this week's winner,
well in front of me is the 2012 srt8
Dodge Challenger 392, they only made a
thousand of them and this is one of 392
even says 392 on the side, so I'm going
to go over the features of the car and
talk about what I like about it and
what's really special about it, so the
reason why I like it, this is the
original 1969 show car the yellow jacket
you can look it up 1969 Dodge yellow
jacket and it was actually the show car
for the Challenger on the dodge side
Plymouth already had a pony car and
dodge wanted to have their own, so those
came out in 1969 and this is a letter
from FCA saying that this is one of 392
the paint is called stinger yellow is
actually attracts bugs to it, I don't understand that
but these nice seats that are nappa
leather and they only made it for this
car with these embroided SRT and of
course the bee down below, that is so cool
I thought the Dodge interiors were a
little boring, until I saw this when I
saw this I thought this was awesome, I put the
shifter in myself, I do like these type
challengers as well another feature I
like, it's got paddle shifters
so you can shift it manually if you'd
like, so I really like the dress up kit it's
got a pedal dress-up kit, it's got the paddle
shifters, nice three-spoke steering wheel
and the middle console right down below
here we have this button, this is for
sport mode, for track mode, or for
economy mode, now just driving this
today I got 23 miles for the gallon just
coming to do this photo shoot, so it gets
great gas mileage but if you want you
can let it rip and of course the nice
Hurst logo along with the
Challenger SRT badge
and then for the backseat this got best
of class better than Mustang and Camaro
just for real-world sitting you know,
I like the stripe, stripe goes
from the fender
up the Beltline and right over the
quarter
of course it's got the yellowjacket
writing right there on the quarter panel
stripe
here's the srt
means business
this is one of the other options we
really like about this car, I've only
owned older mopars before this and
everybody says well they like the way
this you know the sound sounds with the
engine, but we have this in the car
it comes from the factory with this Harman
Kardon subwoofer
of course the battery just like the old
60s cars they put the battery in the
trunk
must be the advertisement
what's that say son Hemi, that's all you need to know,
very iconic cars the yellow jacket and
392 was first introduced in 1957, it's got the
orange on the block 1957 this was a
world-record breaking engine for
Chrysler 300 to many many wins NASCAR
and so Chrylser
decided to bring back the 392
as you can see everything is super clean
this car is six years old at this point
does twelve and a half seconds in the
quarter mile which for a naturally
aspirated car weighing 4,200 pounds
that's pretty amazing considering from
1968 69 70 Super Bee Chargers Road
Runners and satellites were all doing
about 13.6 with a Hemi, and this is what she
sounds like,
it actually barks when you get on it
well thanks for seeing my car and now
we're going to do a little burnout
