This past weekend, thousands of car fans gathered in Irvine, California. They attended the eighth annual Spring Festival of LXs. The event calls to enthusiasts from all across the states to come and show off their awesome collection of Chrysler’s and Dodge’s. The LX in the title stands for the next generations platforms for LX (Chrysler 300), LC (Dodge Challenger) and LD (Dodge Charger).
About 2,500 people showed up with 1,000 different Chrysler, Dodge, and SRT vehicles. They planned on basking in the joy that comes with a car event of this status. What they didn’t plan on was the SRT CEO Ralph Gilles showing up with a surprise.
Gilles was on hand to give the attendees a first look at the new limited-edition exterior package being offered for the Dodge Charger SRT8. The name is the 392 Appearance Package.
