Everything You Need to Know About Dodge Muscle Cars near Deming NM

Just like their predecessors of the 1960s and 70s, the modern Dodge muscle cars near Deming NM are once again leading the pack, with menacing good looks and incredible performance.

The first true American muscle car was introduced way back in 1949 with the Oldsmobile Rocket 88, but it was during the 1960s that muscle cars really peaked in their popularity. Americans showed their love for powerful and fast cars, and to keep up with the rising demand, all the key US automakers began to manufacture high performance vehicles.

Dodge Muscle Cars near Deming NM are Classics

In today's auto market, there aren't nearly as many muscle cars in production, but thankfully, there are a few classics that power hungry drivers can get. Just to be clear, traditional muscle cars are relatively affordable American made sedans and coupes with potent V8 (or V6) motors and rear-wheel drive (nowadays all-wheel drive is also available). Because of their quick acceleration and straight line speed, these cars were (and are) judged the best cars for drag racing.

You may not be into drag racing, but if you're into speed and power, the Dodge muscle cars near Deming NM are going to amaze you! And what's even better, Dodge has added more variations for the 2021 model year.

CHALLENGER

First up is the two-door Dodge Challenger. At a time when more cars are becoming electric and steadily being replaced with generally boring crossovers or SUVs, the Dodge Challenger is keeping the dream of muscle cars alive. The 2021 models offer fans the opportunity to own classic American muscle no matter what your budget. There are 13 trims available, ranging from around $28,000 (not including destination fee) for the 3.6 liter V6 Challenger SXT that gets 305 hp/268 lb-ft torque, with an 8-speed automatic, all the way up to the nearly $80,000 insanely powerful SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody. The top-of-the-line engine is the supercharged 6.2 liter HEMI SRT Hellcat V8, which puts out a monstrous 717 hp and 656 lb-ft of torque!

In between the smallest and largest engines are the 5.7 liter HEMI V8 with 375 hp/410 lb-ft torque, which can be paired with the 8-speed automatic or a 6-speed Tremec manual transmission, and the 392 HEMI V8 that produces 485 hp/475 lb-ft torque. You can also choose manual or automatic transmission with the 392. Coming out in late 2020 is the SRT Super Stock with an even more outrageous 807 hp!

CHARGER

Next in the lineup of Dodge muscle cars near Deming NM is the four-door Charger. If you want a family sedan with speed, you can't go wrong with this model. With a combination of spacious interior, user-friendly tech, and a fairly good-sized trunk, you can haul kids and their gear, but still enjoy the performance of that famous HEMI. Like its Challenger sibling, the Charger has the same four powerful engines, with a selection of six different trims. Starting with the SXT at just under $30,000, it features the 3.6 liter Pentastar engine with the 8-speed automatic transmission. Moving up through the trims are the GT, R/T, Scat Pack, Scat Pack Widebody, and finally, the SRT Hellcat Widebody, which starts at about $72,000. The brand-new Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye will arrive in early 2021. There are a myriad of option packages to truly customize your muscle dream car. 

DURANGO

So, with that being said the 2021 Durango SRT Hellcat, with 710 hp, is the most powerful and fastest Durango ever and is definitely faster than any other SUV on the road! This beautiful beast will never be called boring! As good-looking inside as it is out, the Hellcat Durango has a top speed of 180 mph and can do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds!! It has the ability to haul 8,700 pounds, a best-in-class towing capacity, and has the SRT performance hood and front fascia for maximum airflow for power and performance.
