    When you went through all the challengers in the beginning, I realized how many different specs of challengers there are. You can get a 800hp street legal drag car, to a 400hp muscle car, to a 300hp awd grand tourer with a v6. Imo one of the most diverse lineups for a single car

    I bought a Challenger GT back in January. I absolutely love it! Why did I get this? Cause I wanted a cool looking daily driver that I didn't have to park in the winter especially since I live down a dirt road which is snow packed all winter long. Cant do burnouts? Well even if I could I doubt I would simply cause I don't like wasting money wearing out tires.

      Love how people like you think a V6 Challenger is for "New" drivers LMAO....Challenger in any trim is NOT for new drivers. Only reason many AWD Challenger owners have V6, cause that's all they offer in the AWD package. Some of us have to deal with snow and hills in the winter months. Owning a V8 trim doesn't make anyone more elite. Just means you live in a environment that supports a high HP rear wheel drive.

      Dodge normally think about just looks and gazillions of horsepower. The AWD GT V6 is an interesting addition despite being uninteresting with small rims, skinny tires and the fact that a Honda Pilot can smoke it. It's probably for those who want a winter cruiser with muscle car looks - strange.

      I think this car has a market at least in Massachusetts, and probably anywhere north of here. If someone wants a muscle car in the North, they basically can't drive it in the winter. With this AWD option someone can buy a muscle car without having to own a second vehicle for the winter.

    • @Buzzkilljoy1248
      @Buzzkilljoy1248 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      An AWD muscle car is an amazing concept (in my opinion, I think AWD is the superior powertrain, but to each their own), but in order to make it still feel like a sporty muscle car, it needs more power to compensate for the increased weight and it being delegated to all four wheels instead of the just rear ones.
      I'd say bump that V6 to a twincharged V8 to make it have that lovely beefy sound and to power through the terrain. With a manual transmission, of course. Then, maybe give it the rallye treatment. Tight coilover suspension and go the Subaru route with a full-time symmetrical AWD with an open differential for balanced handling. You get to have both practicality *and* aesthetic and the only thing you'd probably have to do at point is swapping to snow tires when the winter weather rolls around.
      The only thing that could make it an all-weather powerhouse is to offer the option of having a diesel engine.

    To be honest, this is a car that heavily appeals to me. The Challenger has always been one of my favourite cars but living in Canada makes owning and daily driving a RWD muscle car a bit difficult. Seeing this AWD version is pretty dope, just wish it had 400hp and 350trq to make up for some of what it lacks. I decided to work towards a Mustang instead, but it was tough to pass this one up. Thanks for the review.

    Stinger is an easy choice. I find it better-looking, perhaps because the Challenger has been around for two generations now, and the small, narrow wheels with high fender gap don't cut it. The Kia is obviously gonna blow this thing back to 1970 and also handle much better. Finally, it's also likely to be loads more reliable, plus the convenience of four doors.

  • @patrickmccallen2811
