The 2023 Dodge Challenger

So, how fast can this pony run? The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock boasts the highest horsepower of any production muscle car. Its 6.2L High-Output HEMI V8 engine delivers an impressive 807 horsepower and 707 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse can go from 0-60 MPH in just 3.25 seconds, making it the world's fastest muscle car.

If that's too much horsepower for you, the standard SRT Hellcat models still produce 717 horses and 656 lb-ft of twist with the same engine. The R/T Scat Pack model brings 485 hp with its 392 HEMI. And the lower trims get a 5.7L V8 with 375 horsepower for better fuel economy.

Many coupes sacrifice passenger and cargo space in the name of performance and style, but not the Challenger. In fact, the Challenger is the only car in its class that comfortably fits five passengers and boasts the most passenger-volume cargo space.

When it comes to keeping riders comfortable, the Challenger offers available heated and ventilated seats with power lumbar adjustments. The racing spirit lives on through details like the flat-bottom steering wheel and paddle shifters. You can also choose customization options like the Demonic Red seat belts, suede headliner, carbon fiber trim, and custom interior accent lighting.

Dodge made a wise decision not to redesign the Challenger for its final edition. Functional details like the dual scoop hood, quad exhaust tips, and "Air Catcher" headlamps add to the Challenger's curb appeal.

Dodge added some special commemorative touches to celebrate the end of this generation's run, such as the "Last Call" under-hood plaques indicating 2023 is the final model year. A heritage "345" fender badge pays tribute to the original HEMI engine (available in black or bright finish). Iconic paint options like Destroyer Gray, Plum Crazy, Sublime, and B5 Blue make a

One standout feature is the Performance Pages, which display real-time statistics ranging from G-force to oil temperature levels. You can even set and try to beat your best 0-60 and ¼-mile times. The Challenger boasts the largest available touchscreen radio in its class, measuring 8.4 inches. It comes with Uconnect, which supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless smartphone integration.

When it comes to audio, you have two premium options. The first is a 19-speaker Harman Kardon Premium Sound Group with a 900-watt amplifier and two subwoofers. There's also a nine-speaker Alpine Premium Audio System with a subwoofer and 506-watt amplifier.

All that power under the hood needs serious safety features to offset the risk. Dodge has ensured the Challenger is equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety features. For instance, there's the Blind Spot Monitoring System with Rear Cross Path Detection. It helps you stay aware of vehicles in areas you might not be able to see easily.

The SXT is the entry-level Challenger, featuring a 3.6-Liter V6 engine. It comes with exterior mirrors with a heating element, a satin-chrome grille, 18-inch aluminum Fine Silver wheels, and dual bright exhaust tips.

Inside, you'll find Houndstooth cloth sport seats with a 6-way power and 2-way power lumbar adjustable driver seat. The infotainment system is a Uconnect 4 with a 7-inch touchscreen display and six premium Alpine speakers.

The Challenger GT builds on the SXT's features, adding 20-inch Satin Carbon painted wheels and a functional hood scoop. The interior is upgraded with Performance seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Additional features include a Universal Garage-Door Opener, Remote-Start System, and the ParkSense Rear Park-Assist System to complement the ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera.

The R/T is where we see the introduction of the HEMI engine, specifically a 5.7-liter V8 HEMI. It rides on 20-inch machined wheels with granite pockets, features bright pedals, and a performance steering wheel. With the R/T, you also gain access to optional packages like Performance Plus, Shaker, and T/A.

The R/T Scat Pack ups the ante with a 392 V8 SRT HEMI engine. It comes with a 180-MPH primary speedometer, 20-inch Granite Crystal wheels, and a high-performance suspension. The hood is upgraded with heat extractors, and the infotainment system is enhanced to a Uconnect 4C with an 8.4-inch touchscreen display. You also get SRT Performance Pages, a compass gauge, and a customer-defined display monitor.

There's also an R/T Scat Pack Widebody version available, featuring wider fenders to accommodate 11-inch-wide wheels.

This trim introduces the 6.2L V8 Supercharged HO Engine. It rides on 20-inch x 9.5-inch Low-Gloss Black Drag Wheels with red brake calipers and features a dual scoop hood. The interior can be customized with either Laguna or Alcantara leather seats, both heated and with ventilation available.

The driver's seat is upgraded to 4-way power lumbar adjustment, and you get luxury front and rear floor mats. Other features include a 200-MPH primary speedometer, a heated leather steering wheel with a red logo, electric power steering, and illuminated Air-Catcher headlamps.

The Jailbreak edition comes with the 6.2L V8 Supercharged HO Engine and adds features like the SRT Power Chiller and Tip Start. It uses an AutoStick Automatic Transmission for the TorqueFlite 8-Speed Automatic Transmission and features steering-wheel-mounted shift control.

A Remote-Start System is included, and there's a widebody version available with a Widebody Competition Suspension and a High-Performance Engine Controller.

The Super Stock represents the top horse in the Challenger stable, with 807 untamed horses looking to raise hell. Unique elements like a 3.09 rear axle ratio for lightning-fast acceleration and Brembo high-performance brakes for stopping power. It sits on 18-inch lightweight wheels and features a 3-point rear seat belt.

As we say goodbye to the 2023 Dodge Challenger, we can't help but feel a mix of emotions. It's the end of an era, sure, but we know Dodge will create something even more impressive in the future. That's just what they do!

The only thing left to do is come down to Valor Automotive in Junction City, KS, and take this legend for a test drive. Trust us, you don't want to miss your chance to experience it.
