At McKinney Dodge Ram Chrysler Jeep, we try and stay up to date, or have a working knowledge of all the racing events that Dodge participates in. There's RallyCross, NASCAR, and NHRA, which is drag racing. Recently, we saw that the automaker has been racking up plenty of wins on the latter circuit, so we decided to do some investigating and find out more.
With a victory at the Four-Wide Nationals, Dodge was able to continue a streak of winning at least one division in the last six races on the NHRA scene. That's pretty impressive. What's even cooler is how auto parts from Mopar can make the Dodge Charger a super-fast ride. The winning vehicle completed its final run in 4.071 seconds, with an average acceleration of 315 miles per hour. Yes, 315 mph. For the winning driver, Matt Hagan, the victory gave him a 50-point lead over the competition in the season-long standings, ensuring that Dodge had a pretty good day at the track.
You can't accelerate at an average rate of 315 mph in the Charger found in our Easley, SC showroom, but there is still loads of fun to be had. Whether you choose the V-6 option with 300 horsepower and 31 miles per gallon on the highway, or take it up a notch to the HEMI V-8, you can't go wrong in our opinion. Not to mention the vehicle's classic looks and modern amenities inside, and you get a pretty comprehensive muscle car experience.
To check out the Charger, or any other new Dodge vehicle, stop in and see us at McKinney Dodge Ram Chrysler Jeep today. We'd be happy to answer your questions, and if the right model grabs your attention, we can set up a test drive.
