Mopar Offering Customization at North American Auto Show

Posted on January 9, 2014 by baysideadmin

Whenever big auto shows are involved, Chrysler has had the mentality of going as big as possible. With the upcoming 2014 North American International Auto Show coming up, Chrysler is letting Mopar loose to engage the attendees in a big way.

At the auto show, happening in Detroit, Mopar will be setting up shop to give people the chance to experiment with cars. Each person in attendance will be given a chance to get a hold of a iPad with an app allowing them to put together a custom car to their liking.

Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar, said in a statement concerning the event, “This is a great addition to the Mopar Garage, which we introduced last year as a display to give consumers a look at how to customize their current vehicles with an incredible selection of aftermarket quality Mopar parts and accessories.”

The Mopar exhibit will be the largest exhibit to date in at the Cobo Center hosting the auto show. It will take up 5,500 square-foot to give people a look at the vast array of parts that Mopar has. Also at the exhibit will be all of Mopar’s specially customized vehicles that were shown off at the previous year’s Specialty Equipment Market Association Show. Among this special vehicles will be the 2014 Mopar Dodge Challenger, SRT Viper, Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver, and the Jeep Wrangler Recon.

The 2014 North American International Auto Show will be open to the public January 18th through the 26th. If you’re in the Detroit, this will be a great chance to mess around with some fun Mopar toys.

Fast & Furious 6 Showcase the Best Dodge & SRT Have to Offer

Posted on May 20, 2013 by baysideadmin

The Fast and Furious films are pretty much my biggest guilty pleasure when it comes to major blockbuster films. It’s hard not to love a group of people getting together and trying to figure out new ways to get the sexiest and most powerful cars to perform the most outrageous stunts. The poster may show Vin Diesel, The Rock, or Paul Walker on it, but the cars have been and always will be the stars of the franchise.

In the new upcoming sequel Fast & Furious 6, the filmmakers turned to the ones they loved. The team at Dodge and SRT had no problem providing the best cars to work with.

Taking center stage will be the 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8, the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8, and a vintage 1969 Dodge Daytona.

Previously one of the most spectacular action sequences came at the end of Fast & Furious 5 with 2 Dodge Chargers dragging a massive bank vault through the streets of Rio. How do you top something so impressively awesome? Well, judging from the trailers, it seems bringing down a plane and racing from a tank is a good place to start.

How does Dodge and SRT feel about their cars being used in such reckless fashion? Seems they’re huge fans of it actually. Ralph Gilles, CEO of SRT Brand, enjoys handing over his top-of-the-line cars to the crew behind the films to see how many actually make it back to him.

Dodge is really stepping up to help advertise the film though. They’ve already released a “How To” video concerning how to make the Dart a Fast and Furious car.

Also, any fan that purchases their ticket in advance for a showing of Fast & Furious 6 will be entered into a contest to win a Dodge Charger SRT8 from the movie. I feel whoever wins should have to sign away all liability that may occur after watching the films. Dodge is not responsible for any injuries that occur while ramping a car off a train.

For the rest of us, getting a vehicle in such condition to race a tank requires hardwork and dedication. It doesn’t hurt to have a place to find quality parts and upgrades. That’s where Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge comes in. We operate in the Queens area with top quality staff and tech to help you with your car problems. If you’re having issues with your car, contact our service department and we’re schedule a time to help get you back on the road asap.

Mopar Shares More Details on SEMA Show Vehicles

Posted on October 12, 2012 by baysideadmin

We took a look at the concepts last week that Mopar is bringing to the SEMA show in Las Vegas. Even more information has been coming out of what to expect from the auto part maker when the event goes live.

Mopar is celebrating their 75^th anniversary and want to send the message that this is still only the beginning. The show does seem to be, for the company, to be proving something. Whether or not that is their intention, they are definitely bringing their A-game.

The most exciting car that will be debuting is the Viper SRT. Outfitted in a bright yellow exterior, the Mopar Viper SRT also comes equipped with a carbon-fiver cross beam which makes it lighter by 50 percent than the factory version. To complete the package, there’s also the “Track Pack” wheels that are in hyperblack and LED driving lights.

Also getting some primetime at the show will be their Dodge Charger Juiced. Named after the orange color it is sporting, the Charger will come equipped with plenty of Mopar parts to ensure top quality. The engine is a Viper V-10 which allows for 650 horsepower and comes with a Mopar intake and exhaust.

Next on the roster is the Chrysler 300 Luxury. Mopar has covered the car with a True Blue Pearl Coat along with a platinum mesh grille. Driver comfort is ensured by having Katzkin leather on the seats and even the shift handle. There’s even a bright pedal kit along with Chrysler-logo door sills to really make the driver feel like they are in the lap of luxury.

Finishing off the list is the Jeep Wrangler Sand Trooper. Sadly, it’s not Star Wars themed, but that doesn’t stop it from seeming space-aged in its technology. With a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engine, portal axles on the front and back that give the Wrangler an extra 5 inches of lift, and 42-inch Super Swamper Bogger tires, it could definitely compete in a pod-race.

The SEMA show is building up to be an impressive display of just what Mopar is capable of. Perfect victory dance for a company in the 75^th year of their life.

Check out why Mopar has been around for so long by taking a look at their E-Store full of quality parts to customize your vehicle. Like Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter, for more information and specials on Mopar!

Viper SRT Has Dealers Excited

Posted on September 19, 2012 by baysideadmin

The Dodge Viper is one of those cars everyone would like to put on a pedestal to show off. It’s quite the looker, one that really makes the head try to turn all the way around to follow as it speeds down the streets. Dealers want nothing more than to have one front and center for all to see to entice them in through the doors. There’s a problem with that, unfortunately, as not a lot of dealerships will be getting their hands on the super car. Of 2,300 US dealers, only 100 to 150 should expect to see the hot sports car come into the lot.

An article on the Detroit Free Press illustrates the mindset of dealership owners about the news that the Viper is finally coming. “It’s the image. I want to be able to say I have Viper,” says Chuck Eddy, owner of Bob and Chuck Eddy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Ohio. It’s the way many feel about it, even with the knowledge that the pricey sports car isn’t going to sold in large quantities.

Dealers are starting to receive letters from Chrysler this week to let them know just how to get the Viper at their dealership. The first requirement “Is first of all, to have the fire, the passion. That’s the unofficial requirement – that you have a love affair with the cars and you just love fast cars, “ said Ralph Giles, CEO of the SRT brand.

To get a Viper, the dealer must pay for two agreements, totaling $25,000. The first agreement is for a special certification for the SRT line up. For doing this, the dealer will also get SRT signs, logos, and service training for SRT models. It also gives them a full day at the track with professional drivers for three members of the dealership’s staff. That’s what $5,000 gets the dealer, the other $20,000 is for training, service tools, and track time.

The Viper SRT will have a small amount made with only about 2,000 per year. Allocations of the vehicle will be determined mostly by the demographics of the area to see how much demand there is for exotic cars. Chrysler also wants to make sure that when someone comes to buy a Viper, that the person they talk to really knows what they are talking about.

Chrysler SRT Planning New Models

Posted on June 29, 2012 by baysideadmin

The Chrysler SRT division has been making a big name for itself of late. The line-up they have been presenting this year is nothing short of impressive. From the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 to the Dodge Charger SRT8, they have been giving Chrysler models some added boosts in performance and style. The only thing that SRT really hasn’t done of late is make an original model. They have recently been handed full control of the new 2013 Dodge Viper, but the company is looking to branch out some more.

In order to build their brand, SRT is starting to play with the idea of creating original creations. The Viper will be the first out of the door, with a new model in the planning phase. The one they are still imagining is a Mustang/Camaro that is being referred to as the Barracuda. This new vehicle is being styled to replace the Dodge Challenger.

Two cars isn’t enough though. Motorauthority.com is reporting that SRT is looking to add a third model to their line-up. It’s all just rumors and speculation at this point, but the one that seems to be picking up steam is a possible revival of the Dodge Demon roadster. As of right now, anything is possible, but with the recent showings of the SRT line-up, I can only imagine that it’s going to be stellar.
