AWD Challenger Sounds Like Fun

Ok it would be fun to drive an All Wheel Drive Challenger with the 707 horsepower Hellcat package but maybe not every day.

For a daly driver I'd rather have this AWD Challenger GT at 305 horsepower with a starting price of about $35,000. All that sounds good to me!



from the review at Autoweek

"...out of today’s crop of American muscle cars, the Challenger is in its own category. It’s the largest of the bunch, and with the addition of AWD, it further differentiates itself from its competition, even if those looking for a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not have had the Challenger on their shopping list. The design has aged well, and the performance, while not offering huge amounts of horsepower and shocking 0-60 times, is there -- it just does it by powering all four wheels, which is fine with us."
