Modern-day muscle
Originally sold in the mid-sixties as a two-door street-racing muscle car, today's 2020 Dodge Charger has rewritten its history as a successful full-size sedan that's as fast as it is friendly to your daily needs. Since its reintroduction in 2006, the Charger has become a popular mainstream model that offers a sedan alternative to the SUV while also staying true to its heritage of performance and muscle. It does that through timeless muscle-car style and the availability of high-performance variants such as the 2020 Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody.

5 reasons to buy the 2020 Dodge Charger
1. Awesome engine choices

Let's face it, nothing beats a good V8 engine if you're after a thrill—and the 2020 Dodge Charger has a few HEMIs to choose from, including a 370-hp 5.7L, a 485-hp 6.4L, and a supercharged 707-hp 6.2L. But if you're more focused on the drive rather than the power behind it, there's the exciting Pentastar® V6 engine that generates a robust 292 hp. So no matter what you're driving style or priority, the 2020 Dodge Charger has an engine to meet your needs.
2. 707 reasons to love the hellcat
Living up to its name, the Hellcat really does offer an amazing 707 hp. But that's not all, the 2020 Dodge Hellcat Widebody is wider than its 2019 predecessor, hence the name, and it uses its additional size to turn heads wherever you go. On top of a fierce engine and performance setup, there's also an air induction hood with dual heat extractors designed to keep the engine cool when at a gallop. Check out the Hellcat Widebody, especially if you're the type of driver that's looking to spend time at the track.
3. Available all-wheel drive

The 2020 Dodge Charger isn't all about fun. In fact, it has a distinct practical side that's highlighted by the availability of all-wheel drive on the base SXT trim as well as the GT model. If you often find yourself dealing with uncooperative weather, the Dodge Charger provides more confidence with its available all-wheel drive.
4. Ample space for the family

With room for five and 104.7 cubic feet of interior space, along with 16.5 cubic feet of trunk space, the 2020 Dodge Charger provides ample room for families. It's like having the best of both worlds: muscle-car styling, powerful performance, and room to stretch out. There's also a 60/40-split-folding rear seat for added cargo convenience and even the center console offers room to stow needed accessories. The Dodge Charger shows that you don't always have to buy an SUV to get a roomy vehicle.
5. Timeless styling

The timeless styling of the 2020 Dodge Charger makes it one of the most appreciated and recognizable cars on the road. From its slab sides to its aggressive stance and broad shoulders, the Charger will always turn heads as a back-to-the-future car from the beloved muscle-car era. Whether you choose the Daytona 50th Anniversary Special Edition, the V6-powered base-model SXT, or the Hellcat, the Charger rides with a flair that never goes out of style.

Chevrolet Corvette
The Chevrolet Corvette is a two-seater sports car with 15 cubic feet of cargo room in the hatchback model and 10 cubic feet as a convertible. And while this vehicle is all about performance, it still comes with a fair amount of tech features, including an eight-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, and a nine-speaker Bose® audio system (2017–2019 models). Of course, the main attraction is the performance, and to that end, the Corvette offers a base 6.2L V8 engine that makes 455 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. That same engine is also supercharged to make 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. Standard 2017–2019 features include:
Staggered 19-inch and 20-inch wheels
HID headlights
Keyless ignition
Leather upholstery
Bluetooth

The only way to make many other muscle cars feel slow is to compare them to the Hellcat. The 2019 Dodge Challenger is available in eight different trims—three of which are HEMI® V8s found in the R/T and SRT Hellcat models that range in whiplash-inducing power, up to 797 horsepower with 707 lb.-ft. of torque in the Redeye. Depending on the trim, the Challenger is available in either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and features various performance upgrades and heritage styling cues, such as a dual-snorkel hood and fender flares. The 2019 Dodge Challenger offers seating for five and 16.2 cubic feet of storage capacity in the cargo area.

The original “pony car," the Ford Mustang has reinvented itself over the years, becoming a surprisingly effective sports car. The 2015-present Mustang splits the difference between a muscle car and a sports car, with sports car nimbleness and a muscle car's everyday livable suspension and comfort. The base setup on 2015-present models is a 2.3L turbo four-cylinder engine, making an impressive 310 hp. Connected to a fun six-speed manual transmission, the Mustang only drives the rear wheels. The GT trim increases the firepower—the 460-hp 5.0L V8 is better with the stick, but the 10-speed automatic is faster and simply better in stop-and-go traffic.
The 2015-2020 Ford Mustang GT Performance Pack delivers:
19-inch wheels
15-inch front rotors and six-piston Brembo® calipers
Magnetorheological dampers
