You May Not Like This Car If...

If you're all about maximum horsepower and top speed, the Ford Mustang GT and Shelby editions, as well as the Chevy Camaro ZL1 easily outmuscle the 2012 Dodge Challenger R/T and SRT8. Those lookin

How it Drives

Even the most basic 2012 Dodge Challenger SXT coupe comes with a 305-horsepower V6 engine that provides plenty of get-up-and-go. But, if you really want to experience what the 2012 Dodge Challenger is all about, you must slip behind the wheel of a HEMI-powered R/T. Unlike its 1970s' namesake, the current Challenger is a pleasure to drive. The ride is firm, but not jarring, although things do get a bit more rigid with the upgraded 20-inch wheels and sport suspension packages.

G-Lo 2013 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic 6-Speed

"I purchased my first late model Challenger in December of 2012. It was a 2012 R/T Plus with Automatic Loaded Up with Options. My wife liked it so much that she decided to trade in her 2010 Camaro for a 2012 SXT Plus! We love or Challengers but I did Not like the MDS that comes with the Automatics. If you purchase an Automatic the V8 Hemi Is an MDS Multi Displacement System (for fuel savings. I traded in my 2012 R/T Plus Auto for a 2013 R/T Classic (Customer Preferred Package 27M)I Ordered it with the 6-Speed Manual, Super track Pack, 3.92 Axle w/Anti-Spin GETRAG Differential, 20:' Forged Polished Aluminum Heritage Classic Wheels, Uconnect® Voice 430N DVD/CD/AM/FM/Sirius/XM/NAV Touch Screen Entertainment System with 40GB Hard Drive and USB x2, 900-watt, 19-speaker premium performance audio surround sound system from Harman Kardon®. Had dealer install a Mopar (Made By Borla) High Performance Exhaust System with Polished Dual Quad Tips. I have owned many new cars in the past 25 years and most were GM Z-28 and SS Camaro's and One Firebird Formula. This is by far the most fun car I have ever driven. Most Bang For My Buck and Love The Roar of that Borla Sound Played by the Hemi and the 6-Speed!"
