Chrysler at SEMA 2013

Chrysler 300S Mopar-Modified SEMA Show Vehicle

When Chrysler shows up to SEMA, it brings with it their talent and skill at impressing the crowd. At this year’s show, they really turned up the heat providing something for fans of every brand to drool over for the next few months.

Through the brilliant engineers at Mopar, the parts and service arm of Chrysler, they have brought new forms to their most popular vehicles. The most notable of which is garnering the most praise is Chrysler bringing back the ‘Scat Performanceā€¯ pack for the Dodge Challenger.

Along with this new performance pack is the Shaker hood for the Challenger as well. The reason for that name? The air intake shakes with the movement of the engine.

The Scat performance package will be available for the Charger, Dart, and Challenger.

Plenty of other spruced up vehicles are being offered, from SRT to Jeep, and we’re covering all of them on the main blog on Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge, so be sure to check it out for more future coverage.

Chrysler Adds More Jobs for Increase in Truck Sales

Chrysler will be adding more jobs at a Ram pickup plant outside of Detroit. Thanks to a predicted upswing in sales due to the housing market seeing a rebound, Chrysler is anticipating truck sales to encounter a surge in sales.

Not too long ago, this story would’ve seemed like fantasy with both the housing market in the tank and the auto industry in a fast downward spiral. Chrysler has been turning it around, adding more and more jobs to Detroit. This will add 1,000 new jobs with the addition of a third shift to meet the rising demand. Another 250 jobs are planned to be added later down the road in 2014 at a Detroit engine plant.

Home construction is going through the best pace it’s had in four years. September was a huge victory for a business that’s been suffering for so long. Housing and truck purchasing have always had a symbiotic relationship. Another reason Chrysler is predicting a bump up in truck sales is due to the fact that the average truck is now 10 years old. Time to get into a new truck with that kind of age.
