“The Avenger R/T makes driving a mid-size car a really fun, engaging experience,” said Ralph Gilles, Dodge’s president and CEO. “The Avenger R/T offers performance design cues both inside and out, as well as unique handling characteristics and a sport-tuned suspension. It’s a vehicle that is ready to earn its stripes as part of the Dodge performance family of vehicles.”
With all that Pentastar power in the bank, the key to the vehicle’s enhanced driving dynamics is a thoroughly revised suspension specifically tuned for use with the Avenger R/T. Among the upgrades:
- Roll stiffness was increased by 18 percent.
- Spring rates are boosted by 17 percent in the front and more than 12 percent in the rear.
- Strut-damping rates are up by 15 percent at the front and nearly 20 percent at the back.
- A larger rear stabilizer bar, with a 21-mm diameter, replaces the standard 19-mm bar.
