The challenger line cant be judged by the v6 cause it wasn't made for the v6. You're "supposed" to get a v8 in the challenger, and Dodge only offers the v6 cause they sort of had to. The v6 camaro will definitely beat the v6 challenger in every aspect except maybe exterior design. I drove the challenger r/t and thought it was an absolutely amazing car, which is why I still cant make up my mind between a torred challenger r/t and the IBM 2lt/rs.
