Additional Description: It was a minor player in the dawn of the pony car era, but as Dodge rolls into its second century, the Challenger looms as a powerful presence, upstaging Ford's Mustang and the Chevy Camaro with a potent array of engines, including one that packs the biggest kick of all. The power lineup starts with 305 horsepower 3.6-liter V6 that propels the basic Challenger SXT, and now includes the new Hellcat V8, a supercharged 6.2-liter variant of Chrysler's naturally aspirated 6.4-liter V8. It's rated for a prodigious 707 horsepower, the most powerful passenger car engine ever offered by Chrysler and also the most powerful in the contemporary pony car corral. Engine options for the rest of the Dodge Challenger are heavy hitters in their own right: a 5.7-liter Hemi (372 hp) and the 6.4-liter Hemi, aka the 392 (485 hp). Chrysler's 8-speed automatic transmission is available across the board. It's the only transmission offered with the basic SXT model, while a 6-speed manual is available with most of the V8s. The sheetmetal surrounding all this power is readily apparent that it is faithful to the original Challenger styling, and that continues to be true of the redesign. While the exterior maintains close ties to the early '70s, the interior is a blend of retro design and contemporary technology. There are 14 different interior package choices. Highlights under this heading include a new 7-inch TFT cluster nestled between the tachometer and speedometer with programmable information via Dodge's Performance Pages feature; a new 8.4-inch touchscreen option with Chrysler's U-Connect telematics; driver selectable operating modes; a variety of performance tracking features; and a new rearview camera. An S3 card slot, auxiliary audio input and USB outlet are integrated into a new media hub housed in the center armrest. The front seats have been redesigned, with upholstery choices ranging from cloth to Nappa leather, and the option of heating and cooling for those clad with hides. There's also a performance seat option with heftier thigh and torso bolstering for the front buckets. Dodge claims more rear-seat legroom for the Challenger versus Mustang and Camaro, but this distinction seems academic. Essentially a two-door version of the Charger sedan, the Challenger is a big car by pony standards, and it's heavy, most models weighing more than two tons. The SRT and Dodge chassis engineers have done a commendable job of tuning the suspension to manage the mass, and the brake packages seem equal to arresting it from high speeds with minimal drama and zero fade. And of course 707 hp can do wonders when it comes to minimizing mass, an original pony car theory that still applies. The Challenger SXT comes with a 305-hp V6 with dual exhausts. Standard features include dual zone auto climate control, 7-inch TFT configurable instrument display, UConnect infotainment via 5-inch color touch screen display, 6-speaker audio with AM/FM/Bluetooth, media hub with SD card, USB inputs, keyless remote entry, push-button starting, leather-wrapped tilt/telescope steering wheel with auxiliary controls, leather-wrapped shifter 12-volt outlet, LED-illuminated cup holders, LED front map lamps and rear reading lamps, 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, all-season performance tires, quad projector beam headlamps with LED halos, power bulge hood with twin air intakes, power body-color folding side mirrors.

The Challenger SRT Demon though Zero to 60 mph in 2.1 seconds, Zero to 100 mph in 5.1 seconds. Quarter mile in 9.65 seconds and 140 mph. It is not just a gutted-out drag racing special. Features such as the front passenger seat, the rear seats, and a stereo system with either the base stereo system or the 18 speakers option, are usually included, but in some cases the Demon is built without these as ordered and optioned specifically for a particular buyer. Once customers purchase, they will get a personalized leather-bound manual to record track runs. At 4,250 pounds and with body flares and stronger parts, it is a wider and heavier version of the Challenger. It has smaller brakes and hollow anti-roll bars, no carpeting and only the drivers seat, and a basic two-speaker stereo. When in Drag Mode, the Challenger SRT Demon interior air conditioning system is diverted to chill the engines charge air cooling system. The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the first-ever, factory production car with a liquid-to-air charge air cooler chiller system. This exclusive performance feature enables the Challenger SRT Demon to achieve charge air induction temperatures previously unattainable by pressure-charged street-legal production vehicles, enough to make the engine perform like it is running in the cold Alaskan air, even after a day of runs down the strip on a hot summer day.
