    The base engine of the 2008 Dodge Charger is a fuel-injected 250-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 that earns 17 mpg in city driving and 24 on the highway. A fuel-injected 210-horsepower 4-liter V6 powers the 2008 base model Mustang. It earns 17 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.

The Charger features a front independent wishbone suspension system with multi-link independent suspension in the rear. The Mustang is equipped with strut independent front suspension and a beam rear suspension system.
