On the inside you will fund plenty of room and comfortable seats. Is the Dodge Challenger R/T the PERFECT daily driver Muscle Car?

I think Dodge makes some of the best exhaust note for a stock vehicle without tuning.

@RaitisRides 4 года назад

You are right about that!

@DaveThaBossDTB 4 года назад

I disagree. I think Porsche and especially Mercedes AMG have the best factory exhausts.

@tenhundredkills 4 года назад

Check out Mercedes AMG exhausts, especially from the V8 models. That might change your mind about the Dodge Hemis!

@abaddon3735 3 года назад

Also worth noting that despite the low HP rating, the engine actually has over 400 lb ft of torque! 410 in fact, which is plenty. 0-60 in 4.8-5 seconds at best is also not slow by any means, unless you're used to crazy fast cars to the general public who isn't this car is very fast! Your average everyday car 0-60's in 7-9 seconds, so this car is significantly faster! If you're considering buying one don't feel like what you're buying a weak car, this is far from weak.

@01TA 3 года назад

Look at the 1970 Challenger with the 426 Hemi. Considered by many as the Holy Grail of muscle. 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are very similar to the 5.7 Hemi. Anyone that says 'slow' is unaware of Mopar history.

@PotatoeJoe69 3 года назад

The R/T is a great car. It drives like every other car when you want it too, comfortable seats, comfortable suspension, great brakes and, responsive but not too responsive steering, and plenty of horsepower to have fun when you want too.

@bobbiikk7891 Месяц назад

The RT trim is one of the best options from Dodge. The 5.7 is reliable if maintained properly. Keep idling to a minimum and be religious with your oil changes. Check coolant and oil levels weekly. Drive the car gently until you reach operating temperature. Yes, the 5.7 is slow but it puts a smile on your face. Usable power at every RPM. When paired with the 6 speed manual, the car is a dream to drive. You get the practicality of a daily driver while having the rumble and roar of an old school V8.

@user-ob4kn3rp3j 3 года назад

Finally got mine last week. 2020 Frostbite challenger r/t Blacktop edition. Loving it so far and get compliments for the color. Wanted the scat pack but settled for the r/t. Honestly, the r/t is perfectly fine for me. Love the sound, has enough power for me for now, and just puts a smile on my face when I get on it. Still a bit gingerly on the throttle, only at about 350 miles and I've had a smile on for 342 of them. (got it with 8 miles on the clock).

@flipfloplogic 4 года назад

I had a RT before I got my scat pack. A good thing about a RT is you can get one with lots of nice features for the price of a scat pack. Get more for your money if you don't care about tons of horsepower and still want a V8.
