Revised Dodge Challenger SE V6 gets 5-Speed Auto and new Rallye Edition
Posted by admin on Mar 30, 2009
Stop the press; believe it or not, Dodge finally decided to bring the entry-level Challenger SE V6 into (some) terms with the 21st century by replacing the four(!)-speed manual automatic transmission with the same five-speed auto used in the V8 models. The updated Challenger SE with its 3.5-liter V6 was revealed along with a new SE Rallye edition at the Spring Festival of LXs in Irvine California this weekend.
Edmund’s Insideline that broke the story claims that while Chrysler did not announce performance figures, it did reveal that the 5-speed auto helps the SE deliver 25mpg on the highway. However, this could be a typo as that’s the exact fuel economy rating that the company gives for the current SE with the 4-speed auto.
As for the Challenger SE Rallye, it will be available from April with a base price of $26,490 including destination. The Rallye package adds dual hood and deck lid stripes, 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels with black accents, a body colored boot-lid spoiler, a chrome fuel cap and “Micro Carbon”

Camaros

The Chevrolet Camaro may be the “official” vehicle of SEMA, but you can’t walk more than a few feet without tripping over the Pentastar’s new pony car. The Dodge Challenger is a ubiquitous presence on the floor this year, only matched by the number of mediocre booth babes and the appropriately cheap parts they’re paid to shill.
With so many Challengers lining the halls, it’s almost impossible to get the details on each coupe, but we’ve assembled a list of our favorites, ranging from Mopar’s own offerings to the mom-and-pop shops that have made the Challenger the un-official muscle car of SEMA.
