The 2016 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show is one of the most exciting shows to look forward to for car fans.  Every year, Mopar has rolled out several modified vehicles to show off to the car world at the SEMA show.  What is coming for this year’s show?  Mopar is being mean and has released some teaser images for what will be shown at SEMA 2016.

The SEMA 2016 show will be taking place at the Las Vegas Convention Center November 1st thru the 4th.  Fiat-Chrysler and Mopar will have a live webcast of their press event on November 1st when they lift the curtain on their SEMA 2016 Mopar vehicles.

The teases Mopar released hint at some killer modified vehicles they have planned for this year.  The teases show a Dodge Challenger, Chrysler Pacifica, a Jeep Wrangler, and a Ram Power Wagon.  The Dodge Challenger looks incredibly sinister with the black paint job and the cool line decals wrapping around the engine vent on the hood.  Mopar’s modifications on Wrangler is always fun and the sketch certainly shows a unique design for the roof and a traditional hood.  Being the 75th anniversary of Jeep, I’m sure Mopar has something special planned for the Wrangler to celebrate.  Lastly, the Pacifica may be the most interesting just to see what Mopar can do with such a popular new minivan.

New Forged Wheels Bring Greater Performance to SRT Vehicles

Speed is what people associate with SRT. Their vehicles are meant to produce the kinds of speed that cause a cartoonish reaction of a face melting. It comes as no surprise then that the engineers at SRT are finding new ways to accomplish the goal of making highers speeds possible. That is why SRT is introducing a new light weight high performance tire for their supercars.

The method of accomplishing this is by switching to forged wheels. These wheels are lighter in weight and are capable of greater performance. “A forged wheel is usually viewed as being a higher quality wheel,” said Illeana Dragnea, SRT Chassis Supervisor. “Forged wheels are seen as more of a performance wheel and for being stronger. On top of that, everybody knows they are significantly lighter.”

What is the difference between these two kinds of wheels? It is in how each is made. While both a forged wheel and a cast wheel are constructed by aluminum, forged wheels have a different method. They are made under higher pressures whilst the cast wheel is molded by putting melted aluminum in a mold. This makes the forged wheel denser in comparison.

This lighter wheel frees up the engineers with less weight to worry about. When it comes to getting the most speed out of any of the SRT vehicles, every pound shed is a win for performance.
