Mustang vs challenger

[FUNX650]

Mustang, it has been in production since 1964. Is there a current muscle car beside the corvette who has the same production years

Just like the Corvettes...
Can all of the Mustangs produced over that time span really be considered "muscle cars"?

Test drive both, it made me choose a challenger. Once you get over the habit of stabbing the pedal off every line, here's what you may want to consider:

Challenger is just a bigger car.
People can actually sit in the back seat if necessary.
You as the driver have plenty of room and that's great for extended drives and daily commutes.
You have a useable trunk.
Field of vision in Challenger is better than mustang, and 10x better than a camaro.
It can actually suck up the bumps in the road.
Tons of room under the hood if you're a fix-it-yourself kind of guy.
It actually looks like a muscle car, instead of a muscle-Euro hybrid, or Transformer.
The interior is nicely laid out, and feels a bit more high quality than the competition.
If you have the coin and "the need", you can have the fastest certified production car of the big three (Hellcat). Heck of a base to build on, and when you get going that fast, every manufacturer costs big coin to go faster.
The Challenger gets bagged on for cornering ability, but it's handled any street I've driven down just fine. If you don't road course your car, you'll never know it's limitations in that regard.
Nice, big, flat body panels to buff out. Finally, a reason for those 6.5" pads on my FLEX.

There are other reasons, and some negatives too, but that's the major points that interested me when I was looking in 2012. I've gotten a little more realistic in my personal expectations of my mid life crisis mobile than brand loyalty or fanboism of a particular car.

IMHO:
The Challenger is the best rendition
of the "retro muscle cars"!

Frank...
Which one of these two Challengers would be your choice,
if they were priced to move @ 1% over Dealer-invoice:
-A nicely configured R/T
-One that's HellCat equipped

I agree. Out of the three mustang camaro and challenger. The challenger damn near is the same car of the 70s. As far as suede care, I have no clue Bob

[frankprozzoly]

Oh forgot to answer your question. I would buy the R/T . I don't need a million horsepower to enjoy the car

The ZL1 Camaro

The vette looks amazing too. I might have to buy all 3

Challenger all the way.

SRT8 or Hellcat Challenger

Mustang all the way...the Challenger is much bigger and bulkier. But it depends on what meets your needs. I was looking at both when I got my stang, and glad i ended up with my Mustang.
