THE BAD 8 v3.0 – PART III


DODGE CHALLENGER SE

Top 3 Reasons For Avoiding: Wheels are tiny. Engine is grainy and not all that muscular. Will forever make you wish you bought a Challenger RT or SRT8.
Alternatives: Chevrolet Camaro RS, Subaru Impreza WRX, Volkswagen GTI
Base USD Price: $23,460
Ideal Owner: Middle-aged dude with a generous wife who didn’t know the difference between V6 and V8 but heard her husband wanted a Challenger.
Necessary Incentivizing B4 Purchase: Same as last year. “Free 6.1L Hemi in a crate, overnighted via FedEx. Secondary crate full of 20” wheels.
