2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 2dr Coupe (6.4L 8cyl 6M)

I have had my 392 Challenger for a year. I love this car. I wanted a Reline Red fully optioned 392 challenger so I tried to order it. To my dismay, the reline red paint was unavailable because of the tsunami in japan had made this color (and others) impossible to get. The local dealer found a redline red one and optioned it as per my request. It is an every box checked, challenger, except for a sunroof. I didn’t want a sunroof (it breaks up the stripe)2011 Challenger 392. It came with black stripes. I had the dealer remove the black stripes and I had the exact same stripes put back on but in white. This changes the entire look of the car. The word I hear most is STUNNING. I will admit, It is

2012 Dodge Challenger RT Classic - Best yet!

To date, I have owned twelve vehicles. My first, a 1964 Mercury Comet to my current 2012 Dodge Challenger RT Classic. The worst car I have owned is a 2009 Mazda 5 Wagon. The 2012 Dodge Challenger is by far the best vehicle we have ever purchased. This vehicle has the Super Trak Pack, 6-speed, sunroof, amazing leather and a rocking sound system that can play movies, blu tooth audio and read music from a thumb drive. Modifications made thus far; Magnaflow X pipe, Pettys Garage Strut tower brace, LMI cold air intake and skip shift eliminator. Do want a car that handles corners with ease, has amazing acceleration and looks great? If so, this is the car for you. We love it!

Had a 2013 Mustang 5.0 GT California Special. White with black trim and decals. Awesome LOOKING car!!!! Great engine! Everything else was a [non-permissible content removed]!! Leather seats ripping with gentle use under 40000. Cheap, toyish quality interior and VERY uncomfortable seats !!!! Paint chipping by LOOKING at it!!! 2012 Challenger quality is twice as good, comfortable high quality seats, equally excellent engine, roomy, handles well, little road noise and good ride (not stiff like the Pony)!! LOVE my midnight Blue Challenger and; as great as it looked, don't miss the Mustang !!!! Still LOVE this vehicle!! Will always own a Challenger!

The best car I have ever owned. The only problem I have had in over 81,000 miles was the alternator which failed and left me stranded. This was later the subject of a recall. Rear visibility is bad. The 305 horsepower V6 engine is more than you will ever need. Front seat is very comfortable, back seat not. Rides great.

Bought my 2012 Challenger 392 used

The fuel economy of this car is quite good for the horsepower given that you drive conservatively. If you are an aggressive driver the gas mileage will not be as good but, this is what I knew I was getting into. This car still turns heads despite newer 2015 Challengers on the road. My model is Tungsten with Black Stripes. The steering is responsive and the power delivery is fantastic. It did not come with back up sensors which is what I wanted. I've been driving for over 20 years so I'm accustomed to cars with no aides. The interior has some lite rattling in the C pilar. Fortunately after reading forums it's just a matter of the interior paneling coming into contact with the frame, a quick fix. update: The year is 2018 - December. The vent actuator behind the dash started going bad. When I turn the heat or A/C on, I hear the clicking sound behind the dash. 25 dollar piece. Update: May 2020 Front shock absorber I s leaking down will need to replace them. Unfortunately the OEM shocks for SRT8 are hard to cone by. I’ve performed maintenance myself for other aspects of the car: Oil change, brake flush, coolant flush, differential fluid change, transmission fluid change. The car currently has 63,000 miles. Still get complements. Given the recent quarantine I don’t drive as much. Still love the car.
