Reviews SummaryIt doesn’t have a V8, but the 2026 Dodge Charger does have 550 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque from a turbocharged SIXPACK High Output inline-six engine. All-wheel drive is also standard, and additional drive modes mean smoky burnouts, drifting and donuts remain Charger specialties. It’s offered in two- and four-door styles, and there’s plenty of interior room for adult passengers, making it a uniquely powerful and potentially practical American muscle car for the right buyer. Verdict: Who needs a Hemi? It’s not likely to have broad appeal as a family car, but the 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack stands out as a truly modern muscle car. | |
Reviews SummaryChevrolet, Dodge, and Ford wage continuous battles for supremacy in order to win the hearts and minds of American consumers. Mainly, the war’s busiest front lines are in the pickup truck, SUV, and performance car segments. With the new 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, Dearborn finally has a legit combatant to take on the Camaro ZL1 and Challenger Hellcat. But it doesn’t come cheaply. | |
