Default 2007-2008 GT500 vs 2009 Challenger

8If you go by specs, Dodge is advertising 0-60 at 4.9 seconds vs Shelby at 4.5 seconds and quarter time of 13.3 vs Shelby at 12.8
INTERESTING!![8D]

GT500 will take it hands down, its a closer match with the GT. Might be a little closer when the challenger is M6 w/better gears like when its an option next year.

lets hope the challanger is lighter than the charger was, that thing is so smooth to drive, but the weight is really a turnoff...just my 2cents

At 40k for its higher end model, I really think it should be more compared to the GT500 rather than the GT, but meh.

I was reading about it; seems cool. Hooray for the muscle car revolution?

My local dealer just recieved their Challenger and I stopped by to take a look at it. It looks much better in person than it does in pictures. The drivers seat is real comfortable and the dash looks good. Unfortunately I didn't get to drive it because it was in the show room and after hours. I will be posting a big surprise for you guys after Wednesday and I'll post it in this section. Don't ask what it is because I won't tell.

If you do head to head comparison on manufacturer specs, the GT500 will come on top.
