The 2020 Challenger concedes points to rivals when it comes to interior refinement and sporty driving dynamics. But drivers who value comfort and utility will likely prefer the Dodge.

2020 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 2dr Coupe (6.4L 8cyl 6M)
Bought my new R/T Scat pack last week and I am very pleased. I have read reviews saying that this car is bulky and poor handling but I strongly disagree with this and contend that the problem lies in the lack of a driver with extensive experience driving these types of cars. It feels just as light and maneuverable as a heavily modified 1968 Barracuda (10 grand in the suspension alone) I … own that weighs almost an entire Mazda Miata less than the Challenger. If you know how to drive, you will have the ability to get the most out of this car, which is what will actually make the difference between being faster or slower than your neighbor with a Mustang or a Camaro. Power is amazing. In 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear the engine redlines as though it were free revving in neutral, you better pay attention because the shift points are going to come very quickly. Traction control is obviously working very well at this point because normally with this kind of power being applied a car will fishtail all around making it necessary to see saw the steering wheel to stay on the road. 4th isn't much slower winding out and is good for an easy 120. 5th gear was as high as I went on my little acceleration trial and I backed off at 132mph with still another 1500 rpm to go until redline. Again, this all seemed very easy for the car to do, and whats more the car felt rock solid at 132mph and felt as though it could easily go much faster and stay firmly planted on a country road, bumps, dips, and all. My Barracuda requires a smooth race track to go 132mph. The Challenger is heavy for a reason. A lighter car would become airborne on these rural roads I drive on. And I love how solid it is. Going over railroad tracks really tells me how solidly this car is built. Everything is screwed together very tightly. I know I will own and enjoy this car for many years.
built for comfort and for speed

2020 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 2dr Coupe (6.4L 8cyl 6M)
traded in my 300 c luxury edition for a loaded 2020 50th wide body scat pack still have all the comforts had to give up heated and cooled cup holders I'll suffer for speed , power ,and handling very few people are cornering at over .9g and with 305 Pirelli summer tires it holds the road with the SRT pages set the car how you like to drive ,hit the gas and smile not coughing like the … people in the tire smoke. LOL
the extra weight and size means you have shoulder and leg room the telescopic tilt steering wheel
allows the seat to be set back for people over 6 foot . with the adaptive cruse on a long trip lean back and steer let the people in front of you worry about the speed limit. Day 1 with the car 11 hours 786 miles and the smile never left my face.
Big! Comfortable! Perfect!

2020 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 2dr Coupe (6.4L 8cyl 6M)
Reviews are usually done by idiots. This car handles much better than it is given credit for, especially in the models with a stiffer or adjustable suspension. Yeah, it's big. Like we all haven't heard THAT before. "It's a boat" "It's a tank". Yeah, and it's more comfortable than any other coupe in it's class. I have a 2017 T/A 392 (choice not available in the drop downs) with a manual … transmission and it's the best, and most fun car I've ever owned. If you want a sports car, go get a Corvette or Mustang or Camaro. If you want the only real muscle car left on the market, go test drive one and you'll be surprised.
Amazing car

2020 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 2dr Coupe (6.4L 8cyl 6M)
UPDATE:
Over the course of a year, I bought several small mods (none the void the warranty) and have taken it to the drag strip several times. With just a cold air intake, exhaust, and some drag radials, this is a mid-11 second car on Great weather, and a high 11 low 12 in the summer heat and humidity. No issues with the car, despite being pushed hard. What a monster. 30,000 miles and 2 … and a half years later, the car is still just as great as day one. Only bad thing is gas prices, but I guess that’s what the Prius is for.
I bought my first ever muscle car this year. I debated between the mustang gt premium, the camaro ss, and the Charger as well. I test drove all three of the others and they are all great in their own ways. I hadn’t test driven a challenger and I got all my information about it from YouTube. Which was obviously plagued with “it’s so big, it’s a boat, it’s cumbersome” but really, it isn’t. My scat pack has the skinny 245’s and I will upgrade soon, but even then, this handles really well for what it is on the backroads. And you have to use backroads to get to my house. It’s fantastic for the hour long commute to and from work everyday, extremely comfortable. This is more of a Grand Tourer car than a sports car, with a beautiful 392 cubic inch v8. If you are on the fence, test drive one. And even the MPG is much better than expected. My overall average is 20.8 (sticker said 18) and the highway mpg is around 27-32mpg with the automatic. This car is so freakin great.
