Read about the return of another muscle car from the past – the Dodge Challenger. The retro craze also has brought us the Ford Mustang and the Chevy Camaro is coming out in 2010. But I love the new Challenger.
The new Challenger has three trim and transmission packages that dramatically affect the price:
- Challenger SE at $21,995
- Challenger R/T at $29,995
- Challenger SRT8 at $39,995
Of course, I go for the most expensive model, and at almost $40 grand this car is worth every dollar. It has the muscle under the hood with 425 horsepower in either an automatic or six-speed transmission, and it most definitely has a dramatic retro styling to make heads turn.
- The SE model gets 17 mpg in the city and 25 highway.
- The R/T gets 16 mpg city and 25 highway for both the automatic and manual
- The SRT8 with the extra horsepower gets 13 mpg city, 19 highway with the automatic, and 14 mpg city, 22 highway with the manual transmission.
I want a red one!
