This is the most powerful engine produced by Dodge and the first supercharged Hemi manufactured by the company. With these figures it can easily compete with Camaro ZL1 and Mustang GT500. Although, engine offer and power figures are astonishing new Challenger comes with one major flaw – fuel consumption. Standard engine is rated at 19 mpg in a city and 30 mpg on highway and all other engines are rated below. Apparently, the emphasis was on strength and engineers neglect fuel efficiency. However, have in mind that fuel consumption of Dodge Challenger has never been its advantage.
