The torsional rigidity is a critical parameter for a vehicle, which measures how many force you need to apply to “twist” the car body frame by one degree. Of course the larger of this value, the better.

From the consumer’s perspective, what is the benefit of a high torsional rigidity car body? A vehicle with high torsion rigidity will give the driver and passenger a more “solid” feel when the car is running, especially when the road is bumpy and has lots of potholes on it...

Because for the 2015 model year, non-SRT models of the Challenger also get the same 6.4L V8 engine, with even more hp and torque (485hp vs. 2014 SRT’s 470hp, 475 lb-ft torque vs 2014 SRT’s 470 lb-ft); which makes the 2014 SRT8 owner regret not waiting for one more year is, the 2015 Challenger will get the ZF sourced 8-speed transmission across the whole product line (2014 Challenger SRT8 only has the ).

– AWD can be had for the base SE and SXT trim; but 5.7L V8 engine is RWD only

– Aluminum made axles and axle housing
