2015 Dodge Challenger car specifications (needs update)

Engines (except Challenger R/T Classic car)

The 392 Hemi takes 0W-40 synthetic oil, an unusual requirement. It has pushrod-activated overhead valves (sodium filled exhaust, hollow-stem intake), with 16 conventional hydraulic lifters using roller tips.

Fuel injection is returnless; the automatic cuts the fuel supply when coasting when certain conditions are met. The block is a deep-skirt, cast iron design with cross-bolted main bearing caps and aluminum alloy heads. Oil capacity is 7 quarts, coolant is 14 quarts; bore and stroke is 4.09 x 3.72 inches.

The six speed manual was used on V8 cars only - a Tremec TR-6060 with ZF-Sachs 240mm twin-disc clutch. It had a triple cone synchronizer design in first and second gears, with double cones in higher gears; it used 1-4 skip shift and reverse inhibit solenoids. Gear ratios did not change from 2010 to 2015

Suspensions

The front suspension is an independent short-long arm with high upper A arm, coil springs over gas charged monotube shock absorbers and solid stabilizer bar with lateral and diagonal lower links with dual ball joint knuckles.

Rear suspension is a five link independent design with coil springs, gas charged monotube shocks, solid stabilizer bar, and isolated suspension cradle.

Starting in 2011, electro-hydraulic power steering was used on SE and R/T models (SRT8 remained hydraulic.) In 2015, full electric power steering was used on all the Dodges.

Safety Gizmos

The 2015 Dodge Challenger is loaded with safety systems, with new features including Chrysler's own lane-change and rear cross path alerts, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warnings, and a forward collision warning system.

Standard and optional features include:

  • Assist Call: Mirror-mounted buttons for emergency services, roadside assistance, customer service, and non-collision emergencies
  • Adaptive Cruise Control-Plus can bring the vehicle to a full stop without driver intervention under certain conditions; normally it provides a distance-based cruise control, using forward sensors.
  • All-row full-length side-curtain air bags extend protection to all outboard front- and rear-seat passengers. Each side air bag has its own impact sensor that autonomously triggers the air bag on the side where an impact occurs.
  • Anti-lock brakes detect rough roads by the oscillations in the wheel speed signals; when rough roads or off-road driving is detected, ABS holds the brake pressure for longer pulses
  • Auto-dimming driver's side and rear-view mirrors
  • Automatic headlamps and automatic high-beam headlamps
  • Blind-spot Monitoring (BSM): Uses dual radar sensors to notify the driver of vehicle(s) in their blind spot via lights on the side-view mirror and/or a chime.
  • In an emergency brake situation, the system applies maximum braking power (based on research that in many accidents, at least one driver didn't hit the brakes with full force). The brake-throttle override cuts engine-power output until the vehicle stops or the driver lifts their foot from the brakes, to prevent runaways.
  • The brake-lock differential system allows forward motion if one or two wheels lose traction, by selectively and aggressively applying brakes to the spinning wheels. Brake traction-control system keeps driving wheels from spinning during acceleration by applying individual brakes to the slipping wheel(s). Electronic brake-force distribution regulates braking pressure, front-to-rear.
  • Electronic locking fuel filler doors prevent theft or tampering.
  • Electronic stability control with roll prevention
  • Enhanced Accident Response System (EARS): makes it easier for emergency personnel to see and reach occupants in the event of an accident by turning on the interior lighting and unlocking doors after air bag deployment. It also shuts off flow of fuel to the engine.
  • Forward Collision Warning-Plus uses radar and video sensors to detect whether the Challenger is approaching another vehicle or large obstacle in its path too rapidly, and warns or helps the driver to avoid the incident (video sensors are new to the system).
  • Front seat-belt adaptive/active load limiters optimize chest loading in an impact event, while impact sensors cause front seat-belt pretensioners to remove slack in an accident.
  • Hill-start Assist (HSA) keeps the brakes on briefly, after the driver's foot is moved from the pedal, to easily allow "non rollback" on hills.
  • Lane Departure Warning-Plus leverages electronic power steering (EPS) to deliver a torque-input to alert and assist the driver with corrective action.
  • LED tail-lamps activate instantly and grab attention more readily than traditional bulbs.
  • Rear park assist systems use ultrasonic sensors at low speeds in reverse, to detect stationary objects.
  • Rain Brake Support occasionally pushes the brake pads lightly against brake rotors in rainy conditions, to keep rotors dry.
  • Rain-sensing wipers
  • Reactive head restraints deploy in the event of a rear collision, minimizing the gap between the head restraint and the passenger's head.
  • Ready Alert Braking moves the brake pads closer to the rotors to allow faster braking when a collision is imminent.
  • Rear Cross Path (RCP) detection warns drivers backing out of parking spaces when traffic is moving towards their vehicle.
  • Tilt-and-telescoping steering column
