It took them long enough, They finally shoved the pentastar in the Challenger.. and it's only 78 lb heavier than the Camaro.. Chrysler really need to hurry up with those 8 and 9 speed transmission's

Not bad.

Nice for Dodge.

Those weights seem off. The mustang I thought was 3500 and the challenger was over 4K.

Very nice!

I believe it was the RT or one of the V8 models that weighed in at 4k lbs. The V6 does indeed weigh around 3700ish lbs. However, I wonder if the suspension on the v6 is equal to that of the Camaro's? Doesn't matter how much power she's got if it still handles like a boat.

Still, good to see Dodge playing ball

At least its competitive. Unfortunately its still down a bit on power, and down a bit on torque, and up a bit on weight. It will be interesting to see how close it comes to the Camaro for performance and fuel economy. I'm guessing it will be a tick or two behind for each.

I just don't understand how the V8 weighs 400lbs. more in the Challenger but only 100 in the Camaro. Interesting.

IIRC the hemi uses a cast iron block. . . Heavy beast.

Challenger is supposed to get some nice suspension tweaks, as is the Charger and 300, should be nteresting.
