Auburn Hills-based Dodge SRT is now offering the Shakedown Package on new Challengers. The package is available on the 2018 Challenger R/T Shaker, R/T Plus Shaker, and 392 Hemi Scat Pack Shaker.

The Shakedown Package adds asymmetrical black racing stripes that flow up and over the rear decklid and roof, then around the Shaker hood scoop. It also features white-face gauges on the instrument cluster and an upgraded Alpine audio system. The Challenger R/T Shaker gets six speakers and a 275-watt amplifier, while the R/T Plus Shaker and 392 Hemi Scat Pack Shaker get nine speakers and a 506-watt amplifier.

“Dodge SRT has a rich history of using iconic heritage and high-impact colors and unique graphics to make our vehicles look custom, straight from the factory,” says Steve Beahm, head of passenger car brands at Dodge SRT, Chrysler, and Fiat.

The Shakedown Package was inspired by the 1971 Dodge Shakedown Challenger that debuted at the 2016 SEMA show.

The suggested price for the upgrade package is $995.
