Nostalgia is all the rage and Dodge is cashing in on the trend with its dazzling Challenger, a modern version of the legendary muscle car by the same name. Each of the three different trim levels (SXT, R/T and SRT8) has its own engine. The SXT comes with a 3.6L V6, while the R/T relies on a 5.7L V8 that delivers 372 hp (376 when paired with the manual transmission). And finally, the SRT8 calls on a 6.4L V8 with 470 hp.
