Accessories & Modifications

The 2011 Chrysler 200 Touring V6 is 275 lbs lighter than 2011 Dodge Challenger SE V6. They have the same 3.6 liter Pentastar engine but the 200 Touring is rated at 283 hp whereas the Chellenger is rated at 305 hp (a 22 horsepower difference). The Challenger's horsepower gain is acheived with a more aggressive intake system. So this may be a future mod that can lower 1/4 mile time approximately 2 tenths of a second.
