Just reading up on the challenger. Their V6 is smaller than ours at 3.5L but Dodge is claiming 250 hp. That seems like a lot for that size engine. Challenger appears to be a bit heavier than the Mustang. I wonder how these stack up in 0-60 and quarter mile times?

250 base horsepower, and the car itself weighs more. They make no V6 that is faster than ours, the only Challenger faster than our 4.0 is the R/T V8.

Well that is 40 more hp than what we have. Probably would come down to the driver. You can check the specs here...

My wife has a 08 3.5 HO charger. I can tell you that it is faster than my 4.0 stang, and it wieghs 1000lbs more.

Mr. L

The Challenger SE base weight is 3,720 lbs.
The Mustang V6 base weight is 3,300 lbs.

That extra 40hp needs to compensate for the 420lb difference. So I do agree that it may just come down to the driver.

i beat an ho with out a problem.....

ODDYSEY

I disagree I have beat many HO chargers, the "feel" may seem faster but the numbers don't lie

Correction: I thought we were talking about CHARGERS not Challengers. I don't know about the Challenger, except that it looks really good

It doesnt seem like alot, especially if it is 3v or 4v. The 3.6L Duratec Ford uses in the Edge and the Fusion is rated at 260hp.

They made a 3.5L Duratec and a 3.7L Duratec the 3.5 making 265Hp and the 3.7 making 273.. All DOHC
