For sure! V6 engines have come a long way and can be modded to produce 600+hp. It might not sound the same as their bigger bro V8s, but that's still a lot of buff horses.

@Xaevryn2 жыл бұрын
Even if its a V6 it has more than enough power to be faster than most other passenger vehicles. And it looks stunning. And its not bad on gas. And it is an extremely comfortable highway cruiser. I have an R/T myself but I still appreciate the SXT and GT for what they offer. Especially that AWD. But yes the doors can be a problem! especially at a gas station. I actually miss having the gas cap being on the passenger side on my old G8.

You got the hood scoops wrong. They are functional. They don't dump air directly into the intake, but they do dump air into the engine bay. If you open the hood you will see the holes on the heat shield. I own a 2018 sxt plus.
@ewconway2 жыл бұрын
You said you didn’t like the gas cap assembly. That gas cap has significance because that is an exact retro gas cap from the old 1968-1970 Dodge Chargers. That’s why the gas cap is great and makes the car stand out. 👍

CONS: 10:58 That blind spot is hard to see when backing up ☹ so I can relate. Also the challenger feels heavy, so turning sharp around corners does feel rough. PROS: I have a Challenger too. As a single guy I don't need lots of space for other passengers(kids). And the trunk space is bigger than my 2014 Mustang 👍Plus the overall look of the vehicle is what ultimately drew me in.

Had a 2016 Challenger Scat Pack and had engine problems with a constant ticking which is not normal. Apparently the V-8 Hemis have lifter issues. Sold it and bought a 2919 Challenger GT. The engine is powefull enough and I like the fact that I get 18mpg in the city as appiosed to 10 in the city. And I can use regukar gas and not high test. With fas prices spiking O'd recommend either an SXT or GT. By tge way excellentvreview.

I purchased it for $2500 ion a used car lot in 1982 in Tampa to replace a Datsun B210 my folks were kind enough to give me until wrecked because a cop driving her Corvette crossed in front of me and another car. Her insurance paid me the money to buy the 73 Challenger.. .It was a non A/C equiped model in Florida. I loved that car except from June to September. lol

It has upgraded suspension and active exhaust. It also comes with all the track pac racing set ups. It also comes with the last call badge. All in all I love the challenger platform. Too bad the green movement people wanna get rid of internal combustion engines.

I “debadged” my granite gray sxt. I took all the badging off the car and it looks better that way. I blacked out the grill and put smoked headlight covers over the front turn signals giving it that 1970 Cuda look. I painted the rear transom matte black so the car has a much more sinister look. Simple but effective ways to update these to look less generic.

The biggest thing I don't like about Challengers is that they feel unstable in a straight line. I have the R/T with the track pack. It's passible with that package but the stripped down model just feels like an old luxury car. The Challenger is somehow better on curves than you would think though. So it's strange. Also, the R/T has a dead feeling gas pedal. You need to have it in sport mode and put it down a bit to get it to go, but it's really fast from a dead stop once you do that. From a roll the transmission gives out on mine, so you have to take it easy at a roll.
