Default MT's Muscle Car Comparison Vid

I got the latest issue of Motor Trend and thought I would share the video on their Muscle Car Tuners Comparison Video.

Hennessey HPE650 Camero Vs Shelby Super Snake Vs Speedfactory Challenger

Enjoy!

I wish the Ford designers would pay attention to the front end of the super snake and remove the butt ugly driving lights from the GT.

That is a good looking car.

Good video. I'd take either one of them.

I think the Super Snake would have won hands down if they didn't have to put such donk *** wheels on it giving it no sidewall. There goes your traction. Smaller wheels + racing tires = totally different outcome.

It's too bad they didn't get the 440ci challenger to test. But what they did get was still awesome.

They should have thrown a Z06 or ZR1 in the mix. What's a muscle car comparison without the corvette? It would have been there back in the day for sure.

Yeah, even in the Magazine they mentioned that too bad Shelby didn't come equipped with stickier tires. They thought for sure after the Shelby's dyno it would clearly win.
They did say for a daily driver and a bad-*** car, they would pick the Shelby SS.

shelby used crappy pirelli tires, probably just for the name and promotion purposes. If they put on DR or just any better tires, GT500SS WINS!!! lol

Tires are cheap compared to an entire car. Shelbys rims dont look to hot anyways so why not put something sticky on there. All three cars look great, id take the stang or the camaro before the challenger though. After hearing the reviews of the camaros handling i think the snake has it in the bag with some new tires. And i agree, wheres the vette?
