Vehicle Description
The Challenger is based on a large-car architecture that it shares
with the Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 sedans. As a result, it
weighs several hundred pounds more than its primary rivals; its
largeness does afford much better rear-seat accommodations, and it
also offers a plethora of engine choices for buyers (although there
is no turbocharged four-cylinder option as in the Mustang and
Camaro). Theres a 305-hp V-6 in the SXT and SXT Plus trims, a
375-hp 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 in most R/T trim levels, a 485-hp
6.4-liter Hemi in the R/T Scat Pack and SRT 392, such as in this
one we are offering here. That one is all menace, performing
burnouts with ease and sounding like a pack of rabid grizzly bears
even at idle, and it has proven wildly popular. The current
Challenger also has decent interior materials for its price, cushy
ride quality in most versions, and a roomy cabin with a rear seat
that actually will accommodate adults. Plus it looks bad-ass.
Helping its bad-assitude are options such as the Blacktop gear,
which brings 20-inch wheels and some other aesthetic baubles count.
The Challengers Uconnect infotainment and available navigation
upgrade are among the best in all of autodom for user-friendliness,
even if the graphics are a bit dated. And, of course, these V-8
cars are quick and sound fantastic. ENGINE TYPES: pushrod 16-valve
