The modern generation of the Dodge Challenger offers drivers a huge fistful of performance with an impressive model lineup. Dodge is offering a standard model challenger all the way up to a high performance racing model Challenger. These models range from the standard SXT Challenger, up to the SRT Hellcat. This paper will cover the standard Challenger SXT, mid-range Challenger R/T, and top of the line Hellcat Challenger. The standard 2015 Dodge Challenger SXT, is one of the best-kept secret of the year. Dodge has completely updated and redesigned the 2015 Challenger. The majority of people are intimidated by the idea of driving the SRT Hellcat on public roads. This massive monster is powered by a 6.2-Liter supercharged Hemi V-8 that outputs 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. The Hellcat comes with an automatic, which is a excellent fit for the Challenger’s muscle car vibe and is also available in a six-speed Tremec manual transmission. With the application of the UConnect touchscreen interface system the Hellcat’s performance for the SRT drive modes are all accessible.

* In case you are curious, the engine rpm got up to about 7000 rpm and the track speed got up to about 60 mph or more during this clip. I supported the track with a stand and ran the throttle while an observer ran the camera.
Simply put, the less weight your dragster has, the faster it will go. This is the most important factor that will figure into your design. Keep it light!
...est levels of sports car performance. As the first decade of the 21st century progressed, Chevrolet joined every other automaker in squeezing race track horsepower out of street-legal engines. The ZR1 Corvettes made during this generation were capable of speeds over 200 MPH, and cost over $100,000, so they were a bit of a change from the “cheap” car Corvettes were previously known for being. C7: The Return of the Stingray. Modern Corvettes are now achieving Ferrari racing status and power.Corvettes Are the Longest Running production Car Brand Ever. They are about $65,000 and usually look pretty nice. A really nice touch is that for an extra $800 you can drive your Corvette out of the Corvette museum with the staff clapping while you drive out.
The word demolition means collisions and hitting two objects together while derby mean a race. These two words put together creates a competitive place for people to enjoy derby cars. Demolition derby drivers come from long family history of drivers. The pasion starts when they are old enough to walk, helping dad at the garage. He can remember their first demolition derby going forty miles per hour, smashing into another car and coming in third. From that moment on, he was hooked. From my experience and research, I know there is a lot of time and effort that goes into building the car, participating in the demo derby, and keeping a driver and spectators safe and these are the three areas of focus on in this paper.
UTVUnderground.com has been fortunate to have been a part of some of the industries coolest and most innovative UTV builds. Due to the history of our builds each time UTVUnderground sets out to build a new machine we go over the top with not just high standards but higher more innovative build. So when we started planning for our 2013 Polaris RZR Jagged-X Edition we knew we had to go large or go home! Right away we wanted to build a dual purpose UTV. Something that could be used for more strenuous pre-run adventures like pre-race running of the Baja 500 or 1000 at the same time still being a fun car to play with whether we wanted to take it to Moab or Ocotillo Wells. Next we needed a build partner, after some discussion, we selected SDR Motorsports out of Riverside, CA.
Due to the growing prevalence of stock car racing, muscle cars came into power during the 1960s, which has become known as the Golden Age of Muscle. Lasting from 1960 to 1972, muscle cars enjoyed over a decade of power, and, regrettably, a four decade hibernation. In the past six years, muscle cars have reemerged in the form of the Charger, Challenger, Mustang, and Camaro. The new cars’ styling pays tribute to their Golden Age predecessors. This is the new muscle car age, with competition and corporate pride higher than ever.
Take a look at your car, it probably can only hit eighty on a good day. Then watch the top fuel and funny car dragsters of the National Hot Rod Association who get three hundred miles per hour on a bad day. You would be blown away at the diffrence in power. The pure power and the amount of noise that these cars produce will blow you away. I'm going to inform you on a lot of the amazing facts about the nitro powered dragsters of the NHRA. First, i'm going to inform you on how drag racing started and on how drag racing works, then how the dragsters work. Following that i'm going to explain how the equipment keeps the drivers and workers safe, finally I will explain how the sport is evolving,
NASCAR and Formula One cars can be vastly different and there can be a few similarities between the cars. NASCAR’s are mainly American vehicles that are transformed into a two door sedan and fixed up to racing potential. They can include Ford, Chevrolet, and sometimes Toyota’s. After they buy the vehicle and change all of its features to racing potential, it cost them about $1.5 million to modify the car. If any damage is done to vehicle during the race, they use duct tape to patch it until they can fix it after the race. A NASCAR can weigh up to almost a whopping 3.5 tons. Like a regular ol’ vehicle, NASCAR’s have the same exact kind of steering wheeling ex...
Many by now know, the EV that redefined the genre was released to rave reviews. Consumer Reports said that it performed better than any other auto on their test track. Because of all the weight from the low mounted motors it was
In order to have a fast and efficient car all these things I have discussed need to be taken into consideration. A fast car should be designed with aerodynamic surfaces for a balance of maximum production of downforce and minimum drag creating surfaces. It should have as small an engine as possible to reduce mass and reduce the necessary size of the frontal area, but a large enough engine to be able to produce enough horsepower to be able to create more force than the resistance the car faces to accelerate and enough to balance with those forces at high speeds. The tires should be wide enough for fast acceleration and good cornering but not so wide it creates large amounts of rolling resistance. Your overall best example of such a car would be formula one races or Indy cars because they have to have good handling, fast acceleration and reach and maintain high speeds.
To make comparing easier, a 2004 Ford SVT (Special Vehicle Teams) Mustang Cobra and a 2000 Acura Integra Type R will be used as the comparison. The engine in the Mustang is a 4.601 liter, 280.8 cubic inch V-8 engine with 32 valves DOHC (Dual Over Head Cams), sequential electronic fuel injection, and an Eaton Generation IV roots-type supercharger, with a TTC T-56 6 speed Manual creating 390 break horse power at 6000 RPM and 389 foot pounds of torque at 3500 RPM. It has a 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds, a quarter mile time of 12.6 seconds at 112 mph, and has a limited top speed of 155 mph. The Integra has a B18C5, 1.797 liter, 110 cubic inch, 4 cylinders, 16 valves DOHC VTEC engine. It creates 195 horse power at 8000 RPM and 130 foot pounds of torque at 7000 RPM. It has a 0-60 mph time of 6.5 seconds, a quarter mile time of 14.7 seconds, and has a limited top speed of 135 mph.
The cars industry began to invent the revolutionary idea of super cars by mid 40’s. Mercedes and Aston Martin were one of the first manufactures to build these kind of cars. Nowadays, nearly all of the cars manufactures build super cars. Even Toyota with their latest Lexus LFA “F type” super car. All of this industry would not be a life today if there were no interest for these kind of products. Recently, more and more super cars fan began to build their own version due to the cost of well finished packaging and the enjoyment of the mechanic part of the process.
With adequate fuel supply and boost in some form (Nitrous, Supercharger, or Turbo) it is possible to greatly increase output without having to increase the RPM range or displacement of an engine. Power levels as high as 300-400 HP can be extracted from 1.8-2.2L engines with properly designed and managed boost setups.
Both cars have four doors. They both have big front grills that make them look very intimidating. The Charger’s interior is designed to have a sporty look. The seats are designed to wrap around the driver’s sides to look like race seats. The gauges on it are made to look like a racecar.
They have designed their supercharger to deliver gains that are both broad and useable. This makes it a perfect addition to either a street car or a track car. They have a demonstrated gain of 100 percent across the powerband on several applications. Their research and develop department is always busy creating leading edge products for the street and the track.
