Dodge Challenger vs Chevy Camaro

Are you tired of driving through the streets of Philadelphia, Center City and Delaware County in a car that can't offer the power and performance you want? It might be time to upgrade to a car with a little more muscle in it. Muscle cars don't leave you too many to choose from, so it can still be difficult finding the right one for your needs.

To ease your search, we've taken two of the best muscle cars on the market and put them against each other. The 2018 Dodge Challenger and the 2018 Chevy Camaro descend from a long line of powerful vehicles, and both work hard to carry on that legacy. Learn about the differences in each one and discover which is best for you in our Dodge Challenger vs Chevy Camaro comparison.

Performance

If you want power, both of these cars can provide plenty. When comparing base models, however, the Challenger has a bit of an advantage. Surprisingly, the base model Camaro uses a 4-cylinder engine only capable of 275 horsepower while the Challenger's V6 produces 305 horsepower.

That's just the beginning for these two powerhouses, however. You can get the Camaro with an incredibly powerful supercharged V8 that offers an impressive 650 horsepower. If that's still not enough for you, you'll have to turn to the Challenger. The Hellcat trim with its incredibly powerful supercharged V8 HEMI offers a massive 808 horsepower, far eclipsing what the Camaro is capable of.

Convenience

Despite the Challenger's superior power, it has a surprisingly efficient fuel economy. You're certain to spend less time at the pump with its EPA-estimated 22 mpg highway. The Camaro can't match that even at a 150 horsepower disadvantage, as it can only muster an EPA-estimated 20 mpg highway.

If you ever need to carry some cargo along with you, the Camaro doesn't offer much in terms of space. The trunk only offers a maximum 9.1 cubic feet of space. Meanwhile, the 2018 Dodge Challenger offers as much space as your above average sedan with a cargo capacity of 16.2 cubic feet. 

Handling

The only downside of muscle cars is that all that power can get away from you if you're not careful. While both of these incredible vehicles handle well, the Challenger has the benefit of all-wheel drive capability. During those snowy winter days, the Challenger is sure to get you through the snow and slush while the Camaro may struggle a bit more. In fact, the Challenger is the only car in its class to offer AWD capability.

Dodge Challenger vs Chevy Camaro

While both vehicles in our Dodge Challenger vs Chevy Camaro comparison are impressive, the 2018 Dodge Challenger reigns supreme overall. With its incredible horsepower, this muscle car stands to be one of the best on the market.
