Not to be confused with the Bandit, a similar looking muscle car.

The Challenger is an American muscle car that was released as the final part of the 5 Days 5 Vehicles Update week. It costs a moderate Cash Icon59,000, has 2 seats, and features a detailed interior and first-person driving.

Overview

The Challenger is the direct replacement to the Steed, a muscle car that was retired in March 2020. The Challenger costs Cash Icon59,000, providing much better performance than its predecessor.

The Challenger could be found at the Mountainside Town Gun Shop at the time of its release. The Challenger was later moved to the newly-revamped Power Plant in Part 2 of the 5 Days Of Vehicles update in July 2020, replacing the spawn of the Camaro there. The spawn point was moved yet again, back to the Mountainside Town Gun Shop in 2020 Winter Update, as the Delorean replaced its spawn point at the Power Plant, where it still remains today. The Challenger's good performance, cheap price and close proximity to the Prison make it common among many new players, and is highly suggested by Jailbreak veterans as a newbie's first vehicle of choice.

Performance

In terms of overall stats, the Challenger is a huge bargain especially compared to its predecessor, the Steed. For its price, it is really fast, beating the La Matador, JB8, Beam Hybrid and Surus. It also has one of the fastest reverse speeds of any vehicle, decent launch and acceleration, off-roading, and brakes adding to its value. However, it has somewhat slippery handling which is especially visible when it is raining, making it slightly difficult to handle.

Overall, the Challenger is a great vehicle for beginners, especially for its price-to-performance ratios with its cheap price.

The Challenger has a top speed of 170 MPH, higher than Celestial and Cybertruck, but slower than the La Matador. The reverse speed is 66 MPH. Comparable to the Jackrabbit.

Acceleration
Fair
3s
It is comparable to Mighty, many medium-tier vehicles and easily behind most higher-tier vehicles. It can reach 60 MPH in 1 second. Acceleration rate is slightly slower than the Steed, but it beats most general vehicles, with the exception of the Model 3. It takes 10 seconds to reach 150 MPH and about 30 seconds to reach top speed.
Handling

Off-roading
Fair
3s
Handles decently, but being a "Rumble" chassis car, the grip is low, requiring level 3 brakes. Players should be careful when driving this at high speeds as it gets harder to control and is even worse during rainstorms, it is somewhat comparable to the Stallion during a rainstorm. Can climb over hills with some fair speed due to the fair acceleration, but low ground clearance doesn't help it going over train tracks. It is once again comparable to the Steed. High suspension could improve this by a significant amount.

It comes to full stop in 1 second making it one of the best. Comparable to Eclaire and Beignet. The Challenger has a standard vehicle health of 100 HP with a disabling duration of 7.5 seconds.

Trivia

  • This vehicle is based on the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, distinguishable from the standard, SRT and Hellcat models with its wider, fender-inclusive body and supercharger air intake on the hood.
  • The sound for the Challenger used in-game is inaccurate for its Demon designation. The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon's engine was supercharged and created a whine-like sound, but the only engine sounds audible in-game are comparable to that of a standard Challenger.
  • The Challenger spawns with the default license plate which reads "MUSCLE", referencing the fact that it is a Muscle car.
    • The license plate shown on teaser images read "DEMON", referencing that the vehicle this is based on is the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon.
    • The Challenger is one of many vehicles with a stock license plate that differs from the default "ABC DEF" plate. These vehicles include, but are not limited to, the Blade, M12 Molten and Boxer.
  • Though teaser images show the Challenger in a body color of red, the in-game version only spawns in default colors (yellow, orange, blue, and gray).
  • On release, this car was noted to be slower than the Model 3, but an hour after its release, it received a large speed buff making it quite fast for its price. It has a higher top speed than the Cybertruck, Model 3, Megalodon, JB8 and even the pre-buffed Volt.
  • Its spawn point was moved to the Power Plant when the location was revamped. This could've been done so players are encouraged to use the Challenger.
    • Stated by asimo3089 on Twitter, the Challenger will likely return to its original spawn, due to the Delorean spawning at the Power Plant.
    • It was moved back to the Mountainside Town Gun Shop in the Winter 2020 Update on December 20, 2020.

Miscellaneous Trivia

  • The Challenger, which is an American muscle car, was announced on July 4, 2020 in Badimo's time zone, which may have been a small nod to Independence Day, a holiday celebrated in the United States of America.
  • The real-life Dodge Challenger SRT Demon comes from the factory with only one seat, as it was designed for drag racing and thus it was expected that its users would opt out of any potential extra weight. The in-game Challenger has 4 seats, the rear 2 of which cannot be used, which is due to the seat installation packages afforded by Dodge - $1 extra could be paid on purchase to include a passenger seat, and another $1 for rear seats, which most people chose to pay for.
  • Vehicle textures appear larger on the Challenger, compared to most other vehicles.
