The September 1, 2008 issue of Autoweek states that the Challenger SE, 250 hp/250 lb/ft will go from 0-60 mph in 7.8 sec. and get 21 mpg. The Camaro V6, 300 hp, 273 lb/ft, goes from 0-60 mph in only 6.1 sec. (Chevy is working to being this down to 5.9 sec.- the R/T does it in 5.5 sec.) and also gets 21 mpg.

Both cars cost $22K. Dodge has its work cut out for it to keep pace with Chevy.
