07SGT Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Dodge brings back 'Shaker' hood on Challenger muscle car Published November 06, 2013FoxNews.com 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker (Dodge) Mopar '14 Challenger (Mopar) Mopar '14 Challenger (Mopar) Mopar '14 Challenger (Mopar) Mopar '14 Challenger (Mopar) Next Slide Previous Slide Now about those Holley carbs. Dodge is bringing back the legendary “Shaker” hood on the 2014 Challenger. Just like the old days, the engine-mounted cold air intake scoop pokes through a hole in the hood and vibrates along with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 it’s sitting on top of. Available on the new Challenger R/T Shaker model, the scoop comes matched to the Super Track Pack, which includes a retuned suspension and steering, more potent brakes and high performance tires. A matte-black hood, unique trim and Shaker logos all over the car further differentiate it from other Challengers. Along with the standard production model, Dodge is also offering 100 Shaker hood Challengers modified by Mopar for 2014 that are equipped with a slew of functional and cosmetic accessories from the Mopar catalog. The Challenger R/T Shaker goes on sale early next year for $36,995 with the Mopar 2014 Challenger following in the spring at a yet to be announced price.

JeffJ Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Yea, but how do you have a Baracuda without Plymouth? Just like you can't have a Trans-Am without Pontiac. Just not the same. I wish they would put the Charger back to two doors. They have the 300 to be the four door hot rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I would think if they want to compete against the Camaro and Mustang for performance the vehicle needs to be smaller and lighter. Ford has seen the light and it is my understanding the next model will be slightly smaller and lighter again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeljgt500kr Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Stand alone brand like they are doing with trucks (and kinda on Vipers). That's true, when I was looking for a new truck, I Googled "Dodge Trucks" and got nothing. I was amazed they are now Ram Trucks, no association with "Dodge" anymore. I don't quite understand that, but a stand alone "Barracuda" is probably the next big thing. I do hope they trim it down from the bulky Challenger, the Camaro could also lose some of the fat and bulk, the Mustang is just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hawkins Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Shoulda made it a Cuda. IMHO Rumor is....When the Challenger Ends, the Cuda will be Born under the Chrysler Name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hawkins Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 They should do a Sub-Lime Green, Lemon Twist Yellow and a Panther Pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeljgt500kr Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Sassy Grass Green was and is my favorite of the High Impact Paint (HIP) colors of the day for a 'Cuda, Green Go for the Challenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondo Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 The car looks exactly the same since its debut in 2008 and needs at a minimum a refresh. The shaker hood is just a gimmick to distract everyone of that fact. The Mopar enthusiasts will buy it just because of the 'new' nostalgic hood alone.
