For those of us that can't quite afford the $40K for the Dodge Challenger SRT8, Dodge is releasing two cheaper models the 2009 Dodge Challenger SE and R/T models.
The base Dodge Challenger SE starts at $21,995 and is powered by a 3.5L V6 that puts out 250 horsepower and 250 lb-ft. of torque. The engine is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission and achieves 18 mpg city and 25 mpg on the highway.
The Dodge Challenger R/T starts at $29,995 and is powered by a 5.7L HEMI V8 engine that puts out 370 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque when it is mated to the five-speed automatic transmission. When the R/T model is paired with the automatic transmission the engine features multi-displacement (MDS) technology to increase fuel economy by as much as 20 percent. A six-speed manual is available that adds $995 to the price of the R/T, but also bumps up the power to 375 horsepower and 404 lb-ft. of torque.
The top-spec Challenger the SRT8 starts at $39,995 and is powered by a 6.1L HEMI V8 that puts out 425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft. of torque.
