2012 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 Yellow Jacket

Description

One look at this 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT-8, and you know it's a future classic. Besides the tire-burning 470 hp HEMI V8, this is also a Yellow Jacket special edition - making it a true standout for poise and rarity. And this modern muscle classic comes with A/C, a sunroof, and plenty of other comfortable features. So this low mileage example is the perfect car to enjoy today and appreciate tomorrow.

For those who don't already know, the name Yellow Jacket is famous in Mopar history for a 1969 Hemi concept car. This special edition pays tribute with a special color reserved just for this coupe called Stinger Yellow. And not only is the black side stripe inspired by the original Yellow Jacket concept, but also it does a terrific job of highlighting the sporty profile of this coupe. Plus, you'll love all of the aggressive touches on this top-of-the-line SRT model. The large chin spoiler, blacked-out grille with SRT badging, vented hood, 392 callouts on the fenders, and the full-length rear spoiler are all clear indications this is a muscle car for the modern era. But Dodge also got the details right, too, by striking a perfect balance between retro design and modern attraction. You see it in everything from the classic fuel filler cap to modern 20-inch factory alloys that are specific to Challenger special editions.

Inside, the leather bucket seats with comfortable suede-like inserts match the rest of this deep black interior. This presentation really lets you know this Challenger has a dark side, and it's also quite fashionable with nice touches like a yellow streak across the seatbacks. The SRT bucket seats are some of the best modern units you can get straight from the factory, and yours power adjusts to the ideal driving position. Plus, it's loaded with all the features you could want, including a sunroof, power windows, power locks, heated seats, keyless entry & ignition, cruise control, power steering, dual front airbags, side airbags, and ice-cold air conditioning. The AM/FM stereo is an upgraded touchscreen unit that includes a backup camera and Bluetooth (the factory unit also comes with the sale.) Your hands will love the grip of the sports steering wheel, and beyond that, you get special SRT white-faced gauges with a large speedo and very important tach. So while this is a low-mileage coupe (averaging about 2k miles annually) you also know you'll be adding plenty to the odometer of this driver's collectible.

The 392 callouts on the fender weren't lying. This one comes with the fuel-injected 6.4-liter HEMI V8. With such a young classic, this is basically the same motor that's still being utilized in the brand-new (and expensive) R/T Scat Pack Challenger. It looks like they could stuff no more displacement under the hood, and with 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, you know Dodge created a monster machine. It growls to life with extra thunder thanks to upgraded mufflers. It's a terrific power car, but there are also modern conveniences that make it an all-around solid driver. The five-speed transmission gives you the ease of automatic shifting or you can take full control with the paddle shifters. Plus, the fully independent sports suspension, grippy ZR-rated tires, and big Brembo four-wheel power disc brakes w/ABS make this as confident as a daily driver.

Complete with owner's manual packet, this is the bold and distinct Challenger that has the right balance of fun driving today and admiration that grows larger every day. Call today!!!
