New Challenger GT 305 HP V6 AWD

All purpose daily driver even for wet or snowy conditions :thumbsup:
 
I have seen snow but have no use for it.
 
Should be a fun driver. It won't be slow, either.

We have a Durango with the 290 HP V6 W/8 speed trans AWD, and I was surprised at how quick that thing is (wifes car).
I bet this Challenger will be a great daily driver, especially where there is snow like here.
 
We've rented several 290 HP Caravans/T&C's and they haul very well, even fully loaded with 6 passengers and the driver, plus luggage and furniture!.
 
I have a 30th anniversary Caravan, with the same motor. Little bastard hauls! Not great on gas, but fast.
 
Ours got 29 highway.
 
Mine gets around 17 town, and about 24-26 hwy.

I`d drive one. but a hellcat first then a new 2door shortbed ram p/u w/ a hemi, then the 4 wheel drive. I got the carports for them, but not the $$$. the fish gets the locked garage!
 
I drive a 300S 2016 AWD rated HP is 300 and that car moves pretty good. After driving a charger 2014 R/T it surprised me how well it responded compared to the Hemi. In Michigan you need AWD especially if you live in the country like I do.
 
I rented a Challenger a couple years back with the 3.5(6?) Pentastar and it was a dog. I hope this one is a lot faster.

The new ones seem to be a bit more powerful
My sisters new 300c has the 3.6ltr V6 8 speed auto, just a rear wheel drive thou
I was actually somewhat impressed, seat of the pants anyway
I don't have a comparison to base it against, another V6 sedan thou either...
Has every bit as much get up as my Magnum with the bolt-ons in my truck...
I actually think her car is a heavy as my 4700# 99 4x4 SLT Dakota too...
 
The Hellcat is spec'd to weigh 4450 lbs. My 2015 Challenger R/T 5.7 is 4200. I doubt the V6 cars are 4700 lbs even with AWD.
 
When it comes time for me to get a new family sedan, an AWD Charger may be the way to go. That is if they are still around at that time.
 
We've been looking at '16 and '16 Renegades as a possible replacement for our P/T.

I wonder how come the Tigershark 4 banger "only" gets the same MPG in the Renegade as that 3.6 in the MUCH larger caravan.

Seems to me, they could put that 3.6 in the Renegade and have a ton more power and better MPG.
 
We have a '15 Challenger SXT with the 3.6. Great car. Plenty powerful. Too many people focus on that it's "just a V6" and forget that its net horsepower rating pretty much matches that of a 383HP's gross HP rating. We also have a '15 Scat Pack, but get more use out of the SXT.

2014 was the last year for charger to have a hemi AWD they are V6 now but my 2016 300S is AWD and 300 HP it moves good it replaced a 2014 AWD charger R/T.
 
I drive 2015 chrysler 200 S 3.6 pentastar. Front wheel drive. Tough little car and went 14.4 at the track.

Strictly around town 25-26mpg
