I am piss poor and still couldn't walk by this without buying a copy.

Oh hell yeah!

I predict the Mustang still wins.

Silentknight · 07-04-2005, 05:39 PM

It'd better win, Ford put alot of thought and planning into designing a car for enthusiasts, not general consumers like Chrysler did with the Charger

charger w/ 6.1L hemi = 425HP... id have to go with Charger myself.... I like Mustangs and all but would prefer a charger..

aheXD40 · 07-05-2005, 05:26 AM

The 6.1 isn't in the Charger yet...They haven't dropped the SRT-8 Charger thus far...It will be wicked when they do tho.
I saw two new Chargers on my way home from work this morning...Not 100% my cup of tea, but I'd like to test one out.

Well still the 5.7 is wicked powerful with 340HP and 390 Ft-lb it would be a close call between the two id still have to lean charger

Bullitt is one of my all time favorite movies.

If you watch it enough times, you realize that they use the same few scenes several times, but shown from different angles. They did an awesome job of putting the footage together to make it look like a continuous chase.

Count how many wheelcovers the Charger loses. I think it's something like 6.

The only thing faster than these two cars is the rate at which they depreciate.

Wait a year or so and pick up the new body style Stang or Charger for a song. Why pay 30 grand for a Ford or Dodge right now?

I have the Hemi in my 03 Ram and it gets up and goes after you get past the throttle lag. I wish it had 390 ft. lbs. of torque tho. It's only rated at 375, but it's got 345 hp. It's a fun truck tho.
The only advantage the Mustang would have over the Charger is the weight...But w/ 40 more horses, it might even out. I think it would be close.

Neither car can stand up to a Lamborghini, Porsche or Ferrari so why sweat it? Overpriced, unreliable US made junk. Neither company (the US ones) has made a decent car in 40 years or so. Sorry, but I think the US car manufacturing industry is in it's death throes. Japan and Korea are taking over.
