Challenger

Although other muscle cars have recently shifted to precise control, the 2023 Dodge Challenger still follows the retro route, and the overall adjustment is more towards the original pleasure and straight-line acceleration of the old-fashioned small carriage. This non-SRT version of the Challenger comes standard with a V6 engine, but the real fun comes from the optional naturally aspirated Hemi V8 engine with a variety of displacement and power output options, ranging from 5.7 liters at 375 horsepower to 6.4 liters at 485 horsepower. If you want more power, Dodge also has the big challenger SRT Hellcat waiting for you (we will evaluate this car separately). The regular challenger is not as violent as the exaggerated Hellcat, but for some people, its V8 low roar and relatively comfortable ride are enough to evoke nostalgia for the same name's old Dodge buggy. Enthusiastic drivers may find modern versions of the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang superior on winding mountain roads and tracks, but the challenger's retro charm is indeed hard to deny.
