  • www.autobytel.com/dodge/charge... The original Dodge Super Bee dates back to 1968 and came out of the factory packing a huge HEMI V-8 Engine. Now we have this monster 470 horsepower 4-door muscle car. From 2007 - 2009 Dodge produced Super Bee Special Edition SRT8 that added Navigation, Larger Rims, DVD, and some Special Edition Badging. This also raised the price on those models. But for 2013, Dodge is offering a car aimed at the enthusiast. This new Super Bee SRT8 is actually cheaper than the regular SRT8 at $42,250 compared to $45,250. This sweet 4-door muscle car is sure to be a big hit.
    The 2013 Dodge Charger is the second iteration of the resurrected model. The Charger is a true modern day muscle car since it checks the right boxes; mainly RWD and a huge V-8. In the old days when you owned a muscle car and lifted the hood up, the engine was right in your face in all its glory. Over time it seems auto manufacturers have moved to covering the engine with plastic pieces. Not so with the new Super Bee; the 6.4 liter HEMI V-8 stares back at you. The engine makes 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft. of torque. It is hard to find a car out there that puts out this much power for $42k. All the power needs a good transmission, so rather that use the 8-speed ZF automatic transmission that resides in the base model, Dodge put in a strong 5-speed transmission to handle all the power.
    Dodge is trying to tie things together as a brand. The Super Bee has a crosshair grille. More vehicles from Dodge have this signature feature. At night the rear LED tail lights really pop. On the inside the Dodge Charger Super Bee the interior is very plain. That keeps the price down but also enthusiasts are not interested in all that stuff. The gauges are unique to the SRT family and the seats have Super Bee trim. About only options on the 2013 Dodge Charger Super Bee SRT8 are the high performance tires and the paddle shifters which are worth every single penny.
    Overall for the money, the Super Bee is a terrific value. No other car gives you this much power and fun. If you want to have a little fun and make a little noise, this car is the perfect choice.

    And not everyone wants 2 doors. That's why there's a Challenger with the same chassis and engine. I needed 4 doors, and picked up a 2012 SRT8 last summer. 11k+ miles later, the car still puts a smile on my face every time I pull out of the garage.

    My 2012 Superbee has crushed 5 different 2011-2013 Mustang GT's. Also, the handling, I believe, it much better than you discuss in this video. I've nailed 1.01 and 0.99g corners with no rear end slide.

  • @zclary923
    @zclary923 11 років тому

    The only review I've watched where anyone made any kind of complaint about the handling. Personally my 13' R/T handles pretty damned well for a full size sedan. I was amazed at how competent it was through curves! The SRT has an available suspension that can be adjusted as well so that it will stiffen up when you need it to be sporty and it softens when you're just out for a cruise on the highway.

I have a black 12 Super Bee and stock runs consistent 12.4's with it, no GT's do that. Also the standard SRT8 has all the bells and whistles as well that the Super Bee does not have.
