Wow, am I glad I have a 2010 R/T with 4 wheel disc brakes. I did not know that the 2011 SRT's came with rear drum brakes. Good to see that they went back to disc on the 13's and newer when I was thinking of trading up for the 392. My most humble apology , I guess I am still to old school and need to check the facts before I say anything on here.
Umm, all the Challengers have rear drums for the e-brake. The center section of the rear rotor is a drum for the e-brakes. Regular brakes are 4 discs, but the inside of the rear rotors are machined to work as drums for the ebrake.
