The more power the engine has, the more punch you’ll get on the track—but higher trims don’t come cheap. To shave as much time off your speed as possible, look for smaller wheels, packages that include Dodge Performance Pages, and the Performance Handling Group. You'll go faster if you're lighter, and diagnostic data and suspension tweaks can only help.

Cars in this class are often criticized for being thirsty, cheap on the inside, and lacking in features—but boy, do they go fast. Even if you’re set on a Challenger, we urge you to try out a
Ford Mustang
or
Chevy Camaro
. Because, really, why not test-drive an extra muscle car or two?
