2009 Dodge Challenger
The Challenger is all-new for 2009 including a V-6 powered SE model, an R/T with a 5.7-liter V-8, and a 425-horsepower SRT8. This allows Dodge’s pony car to take on the Ford Mustang at every price and performance level starting this fall. And sure, we love the SRT8, but its $40K-plus price tag excludes those who want the looks of the Challenger, but don’t need the performance...or who want better gas mileage. For them, Dodge has introduced the Challenger SE, with a V-6 engine. For those looking to split the difference, there’s the R/T, with a less powerful V-8.
