Leaked Documents Reveal Dodge Modernizes 2011 Challenger Lineup With 305HP Pentastar V6, 475HP SRT 392 V8

Thankfully, the 2011 Dodge Challenger has earned itself a boost in technology and performance. The outputs of the new and expected power trains have been revealed, as well as the cars' specific targets through some leaked documents. And we're happy to say the power outputs are a pleasant surprise.

Scroll down for the full details, but here's the gist of it. The base Challenger model gets the new Pentastar V6 that puts out 305 horsepower to truly compete with the other two V6 Pony cars (let's hope Dodge did something about that heft, though).

Power is routed through a 5-speed automatic, one gear down compared to Ford and Chevy's 6-speed auto's. The base model gets a sporty suspension, dual exhaust, rides on 18's, and the car in its sights at the dealership across the street is the Chevy Camaro 1LT.

Also targeting the Camaro 1LT is a Rallye version of the V6-powered Callenger. The Rallye option snags fog lights, standard leather/heated seating, U-Connect/Satellite radio, and a 276-Watt amp pumping power to 6 Boston Acoustics speakers.

Going up against the more powerful yet comparably plain 426-horsepower Camaro SS will be the 379-horsepower / 410 lb-ft Challenger R/T. Power comes from a Hemi 5.7 liter V8, while the rest of the car gets performance-calibrated steering, suspension, and brakes. There's a color-coded spoiler, while inside is a 160-MPH speedo and some carbon trim.

Finally, the big dog: the one and only SRT 392. Packing a 6.4 liter V8, the newest Challenger daddy drops a 475-horse bomb likely through a 6-speed manual transmission. Torque figures sit at 460 lb-ft. The new SRT gets the necessary 392 badging, some carryovers from other models (although in this case there's a 180-MPH speedometer), and Brembo stoppers behind 20-inch rims. Inside is premium leather and a performance display in the dash.

The SRT's target is the new Shelby GT500, meaning that there will have to be something special about the Challenger to make up for its lack in brute force. Hopefully we'll get a more impressive interior to better battle the Mustang's primo seating area and continue to put the Camaro's to shame (before GM's 2012 update).

As soon as Dodge deems it time to officially release the 2011 Challenger, we'll let you know.

Dodge debuts V10 Viper-powered Challenger for the strip

Dodge is ready to keep fighting the Mustang Cobra Jet a quarter mile at a time. With its latest Drag Pack, available on the 2011 Challenger, Dodge has decided to ditch the 6.1-liter V8 and drop in the Viper's 8.4-liter V10 backed by a two-speed automatic racing transmission.

The new Dodge will make its debut at the Viper Owner's Invitational taking place in Salt Lake City, followed by a stop at SEMA in November on its way to Orlando.

Mopar CEO and President Pietro Gorlier says, "With the introduction of our new 2011 Mopar Challenger Drag Pak, Mopar will be the only place to get a factory-built V10-powered race-ready drag car. Mopar's new Challenger Drag Pak is a race rocket that will appeal to racers, collectors, dealers, and Dodge Viper owners."

The Drag Pack-equipped Challenger will be available in either Stock Eliminator or Super Stock form. It rides on comp tires and comp wheels attached to a solid rear axle; the car also gets a comp fuel system and fuel cell. Options include a $7,950 competition package (which adds an 8-point cage, 6-spoint harness, and a mesh window net), a $6,800 paint option (instead of the bright white), and a $950 body wrap.

All this V10 drag strip Challenger goodness comes at a price though: an MSRP of $85,512 for each of the 70 examples Mopar will build. That's good for the race teams, but how about give it a street-able powertrain and turn this into a special edition production version of 2009's Challenger SRT10. That was one of the sweetest modern Challengers I've ever seen.

2009 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT Photos

You can't argue with how useful a minivan can be. It just so happened that I had to help a friend move a 50-inch television, which worked out well because I had this minivan for the night. The Stow-n-Go seats flipped-up with ease, and the power third-row seats disappeared into the floor at the touch of a button to give us the room we needed to slide the oversized box into the van.

Chrysler really does have minivans down well. Like our departed long-term Town & Country, this Grand Caravan was smooth shooting down the expressway at 80 mph and is a surefooted ride around town. Steering is light and quick to respond, and pickup from the V6 is brisk. The brakes are strong and offer a firm pedal feel.

The amount of entertainment packed into the cabin makes me jealous as I think back to the days of being stuffed in the back of a Toyota Previa for long road trips.

If there is a better vehicle than a minivan for large families, I can't think of it at the moment. I will tip my hat to the Honda Odyssey for better ride quality and nicer interior surroundings, but this Dodge isn't too far behind.

EDITOR WES RAYNAL: I like this as much as I liked the long term Town & Country--which was a lot.

It's just so practical. The gobs of room, the sliding doors that can be operated from the driver's seat and the interior's clever layout are all good. Is this the perfect family vehicle? Could well be.

It's a quiet, refined traveler that goes down the road as smoothly as many luxury cars. There's plenty of power for a minivan, and I have no issues with the driving as far as minivans go.

If you only need to move five people at a time, I'd recommend almost anything other than a minivan. But to be able to haul seven people, a bunch of stuff and get 20-plus mpg on the freeway is impressive.

COPY EDITOR CYNTHIA L. OROSCO: This Grand Caravan was a champ in transporting family to and from a party. Yes, the van has most of the same features of our beloved Chrysler Town & Country, but the ride of the T&C feels smoother and more solid, even in the weeks immediately before it left. This Grand Caravan felt too light in the corners,
