The Ford Mustang remains a beloved car for many decades. But the Dodge Challenger, which is the classic pony car's successor, is now available. The Ford Mustang can be purchased in both coupe and convertible body styles. It has retro styling and an unbeatable performance. But when it comes to family-friendly practicality, the Mustang just can't compete with the Challenger. Before you purchase a Dodge Challenger, here are some facts. Let's take a look at the comparison chart.
SRT Hellcat Redeye
The SRT Hellcat Redeye is a highly-modified version of the Dodge Challenger. It features a red eye on the badge, which, unlike the standard Hellcat's, alerts muscle car enthusiasts of its high horsepower. The Redeye's engine is the same as the standard Hellcat, but it has larger tires giving it extra traction. The Redeye also accelerates two-tenths quicker than the regular Hellcat with a quarter-mile speed of 10.8 seconds.
SRT Super Stock
The 2020 Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock is expected to arrive in dealerships this year. The "Super Stock" class of drag-racing describes cars that appear like passenger cars, but have been heavily modified to race cars. Dodge offers the SRT Super Stock a 807 horsepower engine, which is the equivalent of a Challenger-based car. This power is equivalent in output to a drag-racer of ten seconds.
GT AWD
While the Dodge Challenger GT primarily operates in rear-wheel drive, there are times when you might need to switch to all-wheel drive. The traction control system changes to all-wheel drive depending on external conditions, wheel slippage, and other factors. Dodge Performance Pages allow owners to modify engine and transmission settings on the GT. Owners can adjust the throttle response or steering response. They can even change the suspension settings for greater control and handling.
R/T
There were two versions of the Dodge Challenger, each with a different engine. The base model was an inline-6 engine, with the R/T having a 340 cubic-inch "Magnum" V8 engine. R/T was originally rated at 335 horsepower, but this was reduced to 300 horsepower in 1971 by lower compression. The Challenger offered a Special Edition hardtop that added comfort, convenience, appearance, and features. The Challenger R/T came with a vinyl roof, smaller rear windows, and "SE” medallions on its pillars.
Plus Shaker
R/T Plus Shaker was first Challenger to incorporate R/TDNA. It features a 5.7L VVT engine with HEMI VVT, a new suspension system, as well as a performance-tuned brakes system. R/T Plus Shaker also includes a new multidisplacement system as well as an R/T badge. But what sets it apart from the R/T Challenger?
Model 50th Anniversary
The Challenger 50th Anniversary model is a completely new car for 2019. Unlike previous iterations, this new version has a number of unique features that make it stand out. The Challenger 50th Anniversary model features heated leather seats, and suede inserts. It also has real carbon fibre trim around the console gauges. A new start-up animation also shows off a 1970 Challenger. This car is limited to 70 units.
