Introduction
The 2009 Dodge Challenger is a thoroughly modern muscle car that combines pure power with measured control. With its lean, low profile, the Challenger celebrates the past while looking towards the future.
Power and Efficiency
The Challenger features an efficient 3.5-liter SOHC V6 engine and a smart, available 5.7-liter VVT HEMI V8 engine with Multi-Displacement System (MDS). The V8 engine delivers 370 horsepower and 398 Ib-ft of torque with the 5-speed automatic AutoStick transmission, and 375 horsepower and 404 Ib-ft of torque with the available 6-speed manual transmission.
The HEMI engine features Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and a compression ratio of 10.5:1, providing a power-to-fuel efficiency ratio that is unmatched in its class.
Drivetrain and Handling
The Challenger features a rear-wheel drive drivetrain and an independent 5-link rear suspension, tuned for improved ride comfort and superior handling on rough roads. The SRT8 model features performance-tuned suspension with Bilstein monotube tuned dampers, specially tailored spring rates and suspension bushings, and beefy sway bars.
The Challenger also features anti-spin rear differential, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), and full-off mode Brake knock-back mitigation, which utilizes lateral g-force sensor to prime the antilock braking system (ABS) pump and reset the pads for less brake travel when cornering.
Racing and Safety Features
The Challenger features a number of racing-inspired features, including a SRT Reconfigurable Display that provides performance data such as 0-60 times, quarter-mile times, and friction circle.
The Challenger also prioritizes safety, with features such as seat belts, antilock 4-wheel disc brakes (ABS), and all-speed traction control.
