Dodge Challenger is the answer to the Mustang and Camaro. It was one of two Chrysler E-body cars, the other being the slightly smaller Plymouth Barracuda. Both the Challenger and Barracuda were available in a staggering number options to compete against Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang, to do it while offering virtually every engine in Chrysler’s inventory. However they where not the quickest to respond to the other Muscle cars and as we all know they are still not quick to respond to competition

Four models : Challenger Six, Challenger V8, T/A Challenger, and Challenger R/T. Challengers could either be hardtops, coupes, or convertibles (through 1971 only).
