If you’re interested in bringing some excitement back to your drive, you need to get behind the wheel of the Dodge Challenger. With so many outstanding performance features packed into one powerful muscle car, it’s easy to see why this vehicle is designed to thrill.
Four Incredible Engine Options
The powerful performance of the Dodge Challenger all starts with its excellent engine options. The vehicle comes standard with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine that delivers 305 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque. To bring even more excitement to your drive, you can opt for the available 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine that provides 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque.
Or consider the available 392 HEMI V-8 engine that generates 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque. Of course, if you want a ride unlike any other, you have to go for the available Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI SRT Hellcat V-8 engine that generates a jaw-dropping 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque.
Two Transmission Choices
While the engine may generate the power, the transmission in the Dodge Challenger helps you shift that power into action. With two transmission options available, the Challenger makes it easy to choose the right one to suit your needs. If you’re looking for a smooth and precise drive, consider the available TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. When you desire incredible control and handling, go for the standard six-speed TREMEC manual transmission.
Excellent Suspension Systems
Power is only exciting if it has plenty of smoothness and control to go with it. That’s why the Challenger has four suspension systems to deliver an extraordinary ride. The sport-tuned suspension upgrade includes high-performance shock absorbers, sway bars, and springs to give you sportier handling. If you go with the performance-tuned suspension, the stabilizer bars, coil springs, and gas-charged monotube shock absorbers all combine for an enhanced driving experience.
The high-performance suspension is standard on models that have the 392 HEMI V-8 engine. This system includes high-performance shock absorbers and steering knuckles for better balance and cornering. Or you can select the three-mode adaptive damping suspension, which lets you choose from Street Mode, Sport Mode, or Track Mode to achieve your ideal ride preference.
Sport Mode
If you want complete control over customizing your ride, you’ll love Sport Mode. Using the available 8.4-inch touch-screen display, you can configure the transmission, engine, traction control, paddle shifters, and steering for the perfect drive. You can also pick and choose which settings you want in Sport Mode and which ones you want in Normal Mode.
Customized Steering
To help take your steering to another level, Sport Mode will also let customize your steering controls. If you select Sport steering, you’ll enjoy a firm steering feel that gives you an excellent sense of the road beneath you. With Normal steering, you’ll get great steering feel for those everyday drives. If you’re on a long drive, you’ll appreciate Comfort steering, which balances steering feel.
When you’re ready to experience an exciting drive from start to finish, get behind the wheel of the Dodge Challenger and discover all of its impressive performance features.
