Dodge Challenger vs. Nissan 370Z Review

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the Nissan 370Z and the Challenger most definitely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Dodge's engine is a little smaller than the Nissan 370Z's, but not terribly so. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Nissan 370Z isn't much more powerful than the Dodge Challenger.

Utility
Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the Dodge Challenger over the Nissan 370Z.

Convenience
You likely won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Dodge than with the Nissan 370Z, as both offer comparable ranges.

Comfort
Taller drivers will significantly enjoy the extra head room in the Dodge Challenger's front cabin compared to the Nissan 370Z.

Dimensions
The Nissan fits in smaller parking spaces than the Dodge Challenger. The Nissan 370Z's shorter wheelbase will give a nimbler feel in daily traffic. However, the Dodge Challenger is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Nissan 370Z to the dealership as the Dodge Challenger. Producing an exact fuel economy evaluation is so difficult that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though both the Nissan 370Z and the Nissan 370Z perform approximately similarly in terms of gas mileage. The Nissan 370Z is significantly pricier than the Dodge Challenger with respect to MSRP.

Overview
The Challenger and the Nissan 370Z have the same basic warranty.
