The Dodge Challenger T/A returns for 2017 and we cannot stop smiling from ear to ear!
The T/A moniker is derived from the iconic Challengers that competed in the SCCA Trans-Am racing series beginning in 1970. Starting this October, customers can order their Challenger T/A in three flavors: T/A, T/A Plus, and T/A 392.
What’s New
All three T/A models receive a new hood with a large center scoop. A satin black painted hood, roof, decklid, rear spoiler, body-side stripes, and fuel door further differentiate the T/A models from other Challengers.
Like the Challenger Hellcat, the T/A features a similar ram-air intake. It channels air into the engine via a conical Mopar air filter and through a hole in the inner headlight housing. In the 2016 Challenger Hellcat, this airflow design is only used on the left side, but in the T/A, both inboard lamps channel air into the engine. Challenger enthusiasts will be able to differentiate the T/A from other models by the LED-illuminated T/A logos within the openings. For additional retro points, T/A customers can order their Challengers with old-school hood pins.

Performance
In addition to the dual air intakes, Dodge also equips each T/A with a standard performance exhaust system.
Despite dual intakes and performance exhaust, Challenger T/A and T/A Plus models with the 5.7 L HEMI V8 produce the same 375 horsepower as the Challenge...
