Up Front

Mopar® Magazine dedicates the cover story to the 2008–2009 Dodge Challenger. Derived from the American icon of the early ‘70s, this modern Challenger is equipped with the best of two eras—a classic retro look coupled with modern-day chassis and powertrain technology.

What modifications are owners and enthusiasts looking for and talking about? We’ll share the “buzz” and show a few modified Challengers starting on page 10. We’ll also showcase many of the Mopar performance parts and accessories now available for the new Challenger.

Turning to powertrain parts, are you in need of a warranty with backbone? Mopar Reman Powertrain Parts offer a nationwide 3-year/100,000-mile coast-to-coast warranty. This includes a nationwide distribution network of over 2,300 dealers and 35 Power Service Centers. Read all about what’s included and the benefits on pages 26–31.

On the competition front, it was truly a “Rocky Mountain High” as Allen Johnson and Ron Capps drove to a pair of wins in Morrison, Colo. Be sure to read about the Mopar Mile-High NHRA Nationals and the 8th annual Mopar Big Block Party on pages 32–35.

And if you’re looking for more horsepower out of your Mopar engine, turn to pages 40–42 for our Tech Insider Larry Shepard’s thoughts on high-performance engine controller upgrades.
