The Dodge Challenger
(credit: pictures.topspeed.com)
The Dodge Challenger is a spectacular piece of machinery. The Challenger still looks the way it did in the '60s which is pretty cool. It is no slouch in the performance department either. A stock SXT does 0-60 in 6.1 seconds! The Challenger can embarrass cars that cost three times as much, and as for the SRT Hellcat, it is one second slower than a Lamborghini Aventador down the dragstrip. the Lamborghini costs half a million dollars, the Dodge costs $64,000. The English say we are brash and uncivilized with our big block V8 muscle cars. If 702 horsepower makes me brash and uncivilized, I am fine with that. It comes in lots of different trim package options. The Challenger is also available in in the "Shaker" pack, in case 485 isn't a sufficient amount of horsepower for you (the above photo is a Shaker). The Dodge Challenger RT Scat Pack Shaker has a 392 cui HEMI producing 485 horsepower, all for the same price as a Toyota Sienna. The Scat Pack has the Challenger Appearance Package, which makes it a little slimmer in the front as well as giving the car cool badges:

This little guy was the Super Bee logo for its production run. Why isn't this the Dodge logo? Also, completely unrelated, why did the Super Bee go out of production? look at it! It is fantastic!
