V6 250 HP. Hemi was about 10 grand more, wasn't worth it IMO. Ill get some more pictures later. I love this car, good ol American muscle is the way to go.

You got a muscle car without the muscle? Thats like getting an awesome looking computer case and putting a Pentium 4 in it instead of an i7.

Test Driver Comments
The SE favors being held against the brakes until revs reach about 2,000 rpm. Some chirp off the line with ESP turned off which just means a lenient version of ESP. Engine revs all the way to the 6,500-rpm indicated redline and upshifts are moderately fast, but smooth. Why no AutoStick in this sporty coupe? Also seems like a five-speed automatic would make better use of the V6 engine. First braking effort from 60 mph was the shortest at 129 feet and grew slightly longer from there to a 134-foot max. Although the pedal showed no signs of spongy fade, the odor from hot brakes suggested otherwise. In the slalom the front end gives up long before the rear does. Only moderate roll stiffness, but decent impact-reducing damping. In the end, the limits are defined by the ESP.
What this means to you: With V6 fuel economy, a slightly more comfortable ride and a base price of $21,995, the Challenger SE offers a good compromise for an everyday car. — Kelly Toepke, News Editor
