Mustang vs challenger

I'll have to really keep dreaming for something like this. I'm sure this is 50k on top of the 40 to 50k for the other ones

As I stated in my earlier reply..... that ride was well north of $200,000 and took TWO YEARS to build!
 
The next Camaro should be interesting as its going to be built on the ATS platform, thus meaning it will shrink a bit and have 4, 6 and 8 pot options:thumbup: This will leave the Challenger LARGE and trying to be incharge:confused:

Those are the 2 I would be debating between as well.
I would probably go with the Challenger. It's big enough to actually use everyday. We have a Charger R/T and I cannot say enough good things about that car. Great mileage, roomy and fast.
 
The challenger being "Large", for me, is a great selling point. A back seat that a adult can sit in with out their knees in the chest? Crazy idea
 
Someone mentioned the narrow wheels on the challenger. I agree that they need to be wider. Doesn't look good on that big of a car.

That came up with the V6 version, the R/T and SRT versions have larger tires/wheels but all of them, especially the V6 versions, have HUGE wheelwell gap, that just looks like hell IMO:banghead:

I would prefer to drive the Mustang.
I would prefer to look at the Challenger.
 
The other thing that is nice about the Challenger is that you can sit 3 people in the back seat, while the mustang only has seating for 2. As someone with 3 kids, this would play a factor in my decision a bit if it was a car I would be driving all the time. However I really do like the looks of the mustang more then the looks of the Challenger.
 
I guess that's one nice thing about these cars, IF you really need/use the back seat you've got options there.
The OP originally stated Mustang vs. Challenger, no Camaro in the equation and that leads me to this. While at the Chicago Auto Show last winter I checked out the Z/28 and shut the door and the entire panel moved after shutting the door, why is this? Is it really that hard to have a quality car from the standpoint of shutting a door, something that's going to be done many times a day for some. I then checked out the Stang and didn't notice this problem, didn't check the Challenger so I can't speak to them. I also remember the comparison between the Z/28 and new 911, really:banghead:

Finally I'm surprised noone brought up the Genesis coupe', maybe because a V8 isn't offered....YET!

Might have been me, but it isn't just the Challenger, even the new Vettes have wimpy back tires. I have been behind 3 different new Vettes this week leaving work and the tires just take away from any muscle.

Now if I can just get one of them to play with me, I am a bit curious.
 
I know its not "muscle" to talk about mpg's but certainly the size of the rear tires on the standard and Z51 are there for a reason and the mpg's come into play here, not to mention handling. Certainly the upcoming Z06 will address your "muscle visual" needs just fine:p

Honestly, I can't say the size of the rear C7's tires ever bothered me, I'm too busy trying to figure out why the valance panel is soooo dominating back there, gives the car a two-tone look, too overpowering IMO.

My muscle car is a Japanese 4 banger that get's about 11 MPG. lol
 
Nothing against Mustangs, however I would go with a Challenger R/t or SRT myself. I absolutely love the look.
 
Can't go wrong with the mustang or the challenger. Buy the car that fits "your" needs. They are both top notch cars. Big HP. Who knows, 20 yrs from now, would a GT350 be worth more than a Hellcat? Or vice versa?
 
It probably will depend on how many they make. Ford said a limited number for the gt350 I don't know about the hellcat

The genesis is a very cool car. Awhile back motor trend put it in the mix of the top 3 American cars and said the genesis was the most fun to drive.

I didn't throw in the camaro because I don't like the claustrophobic feel sitting inside. It's a cool car I just like the other two better.

The windows move a quarter inch down to open. In a show the battery would be disconnected.

This is my fault completely but what I mean't to say was the door panel, it moved for quite a bit after I closed the door, terrible! I know people don't buy these cars for something little like this, obviously, but quality is quality and this shouldn't be an issue, it really stood out to me and we weren't even looking for something like this at the show, it just reared its head and we laughed about it for a while.

This isn't the 70's and 80's anymore, gotta be better, much, much better!

I remember that issue and that was with the weaker V6, imagine the newer one in the test, car has almost 350 hp right now:xyxthumbs:

The Camaro is very cramped inside and the passenger side dashboard area is like a barren desert, nothing really going on over there. I do like the optional 4 gauge cluster, that's very cool for sure.

Not a current car but the Grand Nationals of 1986-87 had a 6 cylinder and thin tires and it was every bit a muscle car in the true sense of the word;)

The term "Muscle Car" has always confused me so I may have used it incorrectly. Does it just mean large engine?
