Reviews SummaryIn celebration of their final year turning perfectly good 305/35ZR20 Pirelli P Zeros into black stripes and circles on pavement, the Hemi V8-powered 2023 Challengers come in several “Last Call” special-edition models. Based on the R/T Scat Pack, the Challenger Shakedown and Swinger versions are limited to 1,000 examples each. Dodge will build 3,000 SRT Demon 170 models for the U.S. market, each making 1,025 horsepower. The rarest “Last Call” 2023 Challenger is the Black Ghost, limited to 300 units. Verdict: For better and for worse, the 2023 Dodge Challenger is a time capsule, sending drivers back to an era where horsepower was the ultimate goal and fuel economy was a merely trivial anecdote. As it enters its final year, the Challenger offers more power than ever before, giving a dose of muscle-car performance heavy enough to match its irresistibly cool looks. | |
Reviews SummaryChevrolet, Dodge, and Ford wage continuous battles for supremacy in order to win the hearts and minds of American consumers. Mainly, the war’s busiest front lines are in the pickup truck, SUV, and performance car segments. With the new 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, Dearborn finally has a legit combatant to take on the Camaro ZL1 and Challenger Hellcat. But it doesn’t come cheaply. | |
