2013 Dodge Challenger R/T

The 2013 Challenger is Dodge's retro-styled muscle coupe, a big, bold two-door that trades on its 1970s looks. The ride is on the firm side, which is the trade for how well it holds the road, but the front seats are huge and supportive. The trunk is wide but the opening is small, and the heavy doors and thick pillars make blind spots a real thing to watch. Step up from the SXT's 3.6-liter V6 and you get the 5.7L Hemi V8, a proper muscle-car engine with a deep rumble and strong mid-range torque. The standard five-speed automatic is smooth in normal driving, but the optional six-speed manual makes this R/T feel much more connected and fun. The R/T's standard suspension is tuned for comfort over the SRT8's track focus, so you get a daily-friendly ride with the Hemi's character.
