That is because the chassis actually contains parts developed by Mercedes Benz. Remember when they where part of Chrysler? Well the platform the Challenger was built on was a collaborative effort between the two companies. Just some trivia for all of y'all throwing out this German engineering stuff.
Covered that in my post, see below

And FWIW, the Challenger and Charger are built on the LX/LC/LD platforms, which incorporate mostly German engineering
More trivia...from 2005-2012, Chrysler also used the Mercedes WA580/NAG-1 5 speed automatic in the Charger/300/Challenger. They now use a ZF sourced 8 speed...take a guess what nationality ZF is? (Hint: ZF stands for ZF Friedrichshafen AG).
Lot's of German components and engineering in those Chrysler cars.

Yep, and my post was meant to piggyback off of yours. I just find it funny when people dismiss Dodge and talk about German engineering.
