GoodCarBadCar.net has been both kind and harsh in commenting on the Dodge Challenger. In V6 SE form, the Challenger appears weak-kneed and geared towards the same people who buy the Chrysler Sebring Convertible. Found to be neither powerful nor sporty, the Dodge Challenger SE was afflicted with a dose of The Bad 8 leading up to 2009. It'd still be there if it weren't for even worse cars.
But then there's the decent R/T and oh-so-appealing Dodge Challenger SRT8. Perhaps even better than the SRT8's overwhelming Hemi V8 engine is its sublime styling. An aggressive, shark-nosed front end marries the heavy-duty slab sides to an evocative rear that's all very retro but in a classy way.
Not until a Dodge Challenger drives by do you get a sense for its vast dimensions, however. The Challenger, my friends, is a mighty car; far larger than it should be; far larger than a truly sporty car can be. Okay, that's just The Good Car Guy's opinion, right? So how big is the 2010 Dodge Challenger? Have a look at the Numbers after the jump for a detailed breakdown.
197.7 - total length bumper-to-bumper, in inches, of the Dodge Challenger.
57.3 - total height, in inches, of the Dodge Challenger

JUST HOW BIG IS THE DODGE CHALLENGER?
