Faster Dodge Charger Revealed at Roadkill Nights as Street Racing on Woodward Begins A new yellow-and-black Dodge Charger Super Bee made its debut at Roadkill Nights, a high-energy Pontiac event blending muscle car reveals, drifting, and drag racing on Woodward Avenue. The car, part of Dodge’s return to gas-powered performance under relaxed emissions standards from the Trump administration, was unveiled alongside other customized Chargers ready for street races. The event, organized by Dodge and MotorTrend, serves as a prelude to the Woodward Dream Cruise and draws crowds with its mix of competition and car culture. The Super Bee, a limited-edition model, is the most powerful gas-powered Charger available, featuring a modified six-cylinder engine with turbochargers, a larger cooling system, and other upgrades. It produces 600 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque, enabling a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds. Dodge CEO Matt McAlear described the car as a nod to the 1960s and ’70s muscle car era, though the company has not yet announced pricing or availability details. The vehicle’s release marks the start of a broader push by Stellantis’ Street and Racing Technology division to develop even higher-powered Chargers, though the inclusion of the iconic Hemi V-8 remains uncertain due to safety and legal considerations. Roadkill Nights also introduced a new racing feature: a road course on the M1 racetrack, where competitors tackle time trials in their chosen vehicles. The event’s blend of drag racing, drifting, and car shows has made it a staple for automotive enthusiasts for 11 years. McAlear called it Dodge’s “Super Bowl of horsepower” and “our circus,” emphasizing the company’s commitment to pushing boundaries.#dodge #stellantis #roadkill_nights #motor_trend #dem_i_bagby
