Everyone who's driven our 5.7 L hemi Challenger agrees that this car is
dying to be out on the open road—with its girth, its power, and its
interior visibility issues, this Mopar just isn't very happy in the
city. Dugging around in second gear at 30 mph is torture—this car just
wants to go! So I picked up my boy Chris
and we hit the road for the Oregon coast, one of the most awesome
stretches of highway in the world. The Challenger agreed—and once it
was out of traffic and out of sight of the law, the car was more fun
than I ever could've imagined.
Despite perks such its burly launch and tire-roasting abilities, the
Challenger is a just a lovely cream puff of a highway cruiser. The huge
trunk and comfy seats make it great for long trips, and it's roomy as
hell—a way bigger car than you might expect it to be. It's also a blast
to drive. The sweet spot, at least in moderate weekend traffic, feels
like about 85 mph or so, the point at which the car still dodges easily
in and out of traffic without feeling reckless enough to be a
heat-score.
