Performance is likely at the top of your must-have list if you're shopping for a sports car. Things like horsepower and torque are crucially important. The Dodge Challenger understands your must-haves and works to meet and then exceed your expectations. Not only does this sports car showcase the most powerful engines in the domestic markets, but it shines in other areas also.
You could be tempted to opt for the Chevy Camaro, but it just doesn't match the Challenger's offerings. Even though the Camaro has a base price that's about $3800 less than the Challenger, the price difference can be attributed to the extra features included on the Dodge that the Camaro doesn't have.
Engine and Performance
The Challenger is king in pure power at Viva Dodge in Las Cruces, NM and our surrounding areas. The base engine is a V6 that puts out 305 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque. In comparison, the base Camaro has a 4-cylinder engine that delivers 275 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Despite these numbers being somewhat similar, you must look at each car's maximum engine output to put the differences in perspective.
At the top of the power list is the Challenger's supercharged HEMI V8 engine that pumps out 807 horsepower and 707 lb-ft of torque. In the meantime, the Camaro's supercharged V8 only produces 650 hp and 650 lb-ft torque. The Challenger easily triumphs in terms of power.
With power comes speed, and this is the next comparison. Naturally, with big V8s, both coupes are sure to get from 0-60 mph swiftly. For instance, the Camaro makes it to 60 mph in a fast 3.5 seconds. However, the Challenger beats the Chevy, achieving 60 mph at 3.4 seconds!
Amenities
The Dodge Challenger rises to the top by way of its profusion of features and amenities. Offering more standard and optional features, it beats the Camaro in yet another category. You can expect things like a vehicle anti-theft system, steering wheel controls, auto-off headlights, a trip computer, illuminated driver and passenger vanity mirrors, and an electrochromic rearview mirror as standard features. And that's not all, since there are loads more optional features as well. Unfortunately, the Camaro doesn't offer as many available amenities.
Challenger Technology at Viva Dodge in Las Cruces, NM
Just as with features, the Challenger has lots of standard and optional technology that the Camaro doesn't. Available technology exclusive to the Challenger includes satellite radio, HD radio, a navigation system, and a premium audio system. Features that come standard in the Challenger, like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smart device integration, are optional add-on features in the Camaro.
Available Trims
Another way the Challenger comes out on top is to look at the different versions and trims. The Dodge supplies seven trim levels: SXT, GT, R/T, Scat Pack, SRT Hellcat, SRT Hellcat Redeye, and the SRT Super Stock. By comparison, the Chevy Camaro comes in eight different trims. Wait! That's more! The difference is that the Challenger trims come with more standard features at each trim level, giving the buyer more for their choice.
