The shoulder restraints frustrate use—how come the shoulder harness wasn’t integrated into the seat back, like on the Sebring convertible?—and subjectively, we felt the upgraded Kicker audio system’s midrange as too pronounced, requiring it to be set to the minimum EQ setting.
That is a little disappointing since I am a sound guy.
Under the hood you’ll find the 6.1-liter, 425-horsepower Hemi and it remains a world class engine. And surprisingly, it runs on regular fuel and on our 3,000-mile road trip, delivered more than 21 MPG. (It should be noted that because our companion ’70 Challenger R/T Hemi was running 3.73 gears, and was spinning over 3,000 RPM at 65 MPH, we stayed, with just three notable exceptions, within five MPH of legally posted limits. It looks like 65-70 MPH is the Challenger’s MPG sweet spot. Around town, expect something closer to 15 MPG.
Regular gas?? every thing I have seen is premium 91 or higher?
The 65-70 MPH on the freeway is great crusing speed to get 21 MPG. It certainly drops like a rock though at 15 MPG around town.
