I had a Mini Cooper S before my Stang and although I absolutely loved it's handling, you still can't replace HP. I like all three cars and if it was just the blvd I'd pick the Challenger, but I like my vert. I'd still like to see Ford bump up the HP with a 5.0 How many of us have already added mods to increase our HP, the aftermarket is going to catch up quick on both the Mopar and the Chevy. I'm sure there's a lot of untapped power in both of those engines. Just my opinion, but I'm very happy to see all three companies offering cars that get the heart beating quicker!
I see what your saying but again in my opinion handling is king anyone can be fast on a the highway but throw some turns and you usually knock out alot of people. thats the the one reason i respect vettes and alot of import cars. Dont get me wrong i like tourque and hp but ithink there should be a healthy balance of both. I think that is the key to a good car is balance
... bad comparison with the Challenger R/T. They should have used the Challenger STR8. Either way, put a few more ponies in the Mustang (ahem, perhaps that 5.0 engine Ford) and we will have a MONSTER! We all know it is a better car, which is why we are on this forum.
that would have put the cars in a different price range all together so the R/t is the right comparison for this test now an srt8 vs a gt500 thatsgeting a little better for the scenario you are talking about.
I don't understand why anyone would expect the challenger to be a small car. The original cars were big. So are the new ones. Shouldn't be any surprise.
The Old cars were "pony cars" which just means Compact Coupes.
The Challenger is huge, borderline Full Size coupe. Too big.
