The Challenger will continue into 2014 with no major changes. One welcome addition, available on the 470 hp SRT8, will be launch control. Launch control is already available on the Camaro ZL1 and Shelby GT500. Just like back in the day, Chrysler still seems to be playing catch-up! The V6 model also gets new suspension and appearance packages consisting of 20-inch wheels, performance tires, 3:07 rear-end gearing, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, a sport suspension, bigger brakes, and a new “Sport” shifting mode for the transmission.
