Dodge Avenger Race Modified

[Camaroyenko]

Anyone have a picture of this car? I heard it looks like a Pro Stock drag car.


Yes, I used search.


Thanks!!!

It's the Dodge Intrepid that becomes a drag car, not the Avenger.

And I do not have a picture of it.

Thanks, that makes me want GT2


For some reason I always thought it was the Avenger...not sure why.

Dodge Avenger is from 2007! Dodge Intrepid, from the platform LH or Cab-Forward, was made in 1994. IIRC!!

...the Avenger was introduced as a '95 model, and is also featured in GT2.

Allright, I will clear this up right now:
1. DODGE AVENGER COUPE!
Introduced as a 2-door coupe in North America, the Dodge Avenger was built from 1995 to 2000 in a similar size and price class as the Dodge Daytona, which was discontinued in 1993. The Avenger, along with the similar Chrysler Sebring coupe, was built by Diamond Star Motors (DSM), a joint venture between Chrysler Corporation and Mitsubishi Motors, on a version of the Mitsubishi Galant platform (which also spawned the similar Mitsubishi Eclipse). Mitsubishi purchased Chrysler's share of the joint venture in 1995. Avengers and Sebring coupes built from 1995 to 1996 both have DSM markings in their engine compartments.

2. DODGE AVENGER SEDAN!
The Dodge Avenger name returned in February 2007 as a MY2008 model[3] as a sedan to replace the Dodge Stratus, whose coupe version had replaced the original Avenger in 2001. According to some reports, the Avenger, along with the redesigned Chrysler Sebring, shares a DaimlerChrysler/Mitsubishi Motors platform called JS which used the Mitsubishi GS as a starting point, then was heavily modified. The base engine in the SE and SXT trim levels is the 2.4 LGEMAI4 naturally aspirated "World Engine", a joint venture between DaimlerChrysler, Mitsubishi and Hyundai. Additional engines include an optional 2.7 L V6 in the SXT and a standard 3.5 L V6 in the R/T trim level. In addition to the 2.4 L "World Engine" and the V6s, export vehicles will be offered with the 2.0 L naturally aspirated "World Engine", as well as a 2.0 L turbocharged diesel (Pumpe-Düse) made by Volkswagen.[4] As a 2008 model, the Dodge Avenger came to showrooms in February 2007.

So I was right when I noticed a resemblance between the Eclipse and Avenger. Dad thought I was crazy. And a Dodge Avenger can't be raced modified I think. Let me check... no it cannot.

 

[Camaroyenko]

Guys it was a simple mistake lol

It's worth remembering that the racing modification for the Intrepid keeps the car FWD. So if you're looking to build a 'proper' dragster you can't (Well, you can try, but you can't get slicks and I don't even think you can get it up to 400bhp, but I might be wrong. Nonetheless it turns out very slow in the end). It's just a visual thing, but it does look cool. That said there are two different 'proper' dragsters in GT2, both Nissans tuned by HKS, the 180SX and the R33 Skyline, if drag racing is your thing (And if it is, you'll love all of the drag racing related stories and posts in this forum, but I'll try not to stray off topic too much)

Very fun cars to drive with over 1000bhp, just don't try to make a turn

You could just Gameshark it.

 

[benzoboy]

You could, but I don't have a Gameshark. I play GT2 on the PS2

 

[Camaroyenko]

Thanks.

I don't even have GT2.


I'm real big into drag racing and when I heard it looks like a Pro Stock, I had to find out what it looks like xD

 

[benzoboy]

You should definitely get GT2, it's my personal favourite from the series and that's an opinion shared by many others. I find this section is a lot more light-hearted and friendly than the other sections too, but that's just my opinion. Anyway, buy GT2 before it becomes extinct!

Heh, yeah, hybrids solved many such problems back in the day. Got a car that looks like a drag car but is incredibly slow and wrong wheel drive? Throw in a proper engine and the correct drivetrain and have fun!

Hybrids in GT2 are what kept me playing with it year after year.

All this talk of Gamesharking makes me jealous. Can you use a Gameshark on a PAL console?

I think it would be a Action Replay or Xploder, and then it wouldn't work on PS2.

 

[skynyrd]

Yeah, if you want to hybrid GT2, you'll need a PS1 and a gameshark equivalent that lets you put in codes.
