Greetings.

I need to make a purchase within the next month and I have decided on either the Mustang, Camaro, or Challenger. I have researched and read a lot of reviews and in terms of value and performance I think the '11 Mustang GT comes out on top. I've just about decided on it.

However, for some reason I'm really attracted to the Challenger. I guess it feels a bit more nostalgic to me and appealing style. From what I've read though the Mustang is clearer a more fun car to drive. That's probably the most important to me.

I'm just interested in any opinions on this before I make a decision.

Thanks in advance!

Have you test driven a Challenger?

raygun

No, unfortunately I have not test drove either. I'm out of the country and hope to make a decision by the time I return this month. I will need to get something to drive soon

The Challengers look nice, but they are boats... I drove an SRT 8 and it was very powerful but I dont like the handling at all. Literally takes two hands going hand over hand to take a turn, where in my Mustang I can turn easily with only one hand... It is huge compared to the mustang.

The interior in the Challenger (the one I test drove was fully loaded) was pretty nice, and the back seats are huge. Can sit four people quite comfortably. And the trunk is MASSIVE.

I say if you are looking for a car that is fun to drive, responsive, and handles well, get the Mustang.

If youre going to be riding four deep a lot, and want to do so comfortably... Thats about the only thing the Challenger really has over the Mustang, in my opinion...

Challenger R/T? Are you serious? I wouldn't even compare those two...if you are talking SRT-8 then that's a better comparison, but the 5.0 is still the better sports car by any standard.

raygun

I'm sure you are right. If that was all I was looking for it would be an easy choice. However I'm thinking about some of the other aspects: I need to throw some larger things in the trunk sometimes and fit people into the back seat, etc.

Also, and I realize this is totally subjective, does no one find the Challenger's styling more appealing?

I'm still leaning towards the 5.0, but having a hard time ignoring the other.

the challenger looks pretty good but I really think the mustang looks a lot better. If it was 200 or 300 pounds lighter I might consider an SRT8 version especially since its about to get a new engine
