Default RE: Head-to-Head Comparison: 2008 Shelby GT500 Mustang vs. 2008 Challenger SRT8

who is being unbias? I never doubted the mustang, its been proven to be a performer. mustang gt500s are going for 50-55 grand the lowest with the ocasional msrp for the lucky few. oh and the shelby has been out for quite some time now. I never predicted the challenger to go 0-60 in 4.5, i said it would probably do 4.8 or 4.7 due to it being more aerodynamic than the charger srt8 is which does 0-60 in 4.8 which is what car and driver magazine (which is the most reliable one) got. So the guess is a rather good guess on my part. SO y would I pay 10-15k more for a car that claims to have 500hp to the crank and dynos at 330 hp to the wheels and the only reason it wins is because it wieghs 200lbs less. But the comparison is .1 difference. also dodge said it does the 1/4 IN 13.3 which srt8 chargers do in 13 flat or less in some ocassions. this whole unbias crap your pulling is rediculous. I have agreed and disagreed(more) with albeeno on many comparison's which he will agree on. Just because a person owns one of the cars your comparing doesnt mean he is correct. no one owns a challenger yet so you cant compare the two, you compare the closest thing which is the charger srt8. which has been proven to be more comparable to the gt 500. you pay more for more performance , whether it be .1-.6 more in the 0-60. stop this unbias crap your claiming and agree to disagree. oh and as for everyone hoping it would dominate the competition I for one did not. once they revealed it was going to be built on the existing lx model with a few changes to it to make it more aerodynamic I expected a charger srt8 but slightly better due to aerodynamics or what not . so going by my predictions I most likely will be correct on the times.

0-60 in 4.7-4.8 challenger
0-60 in 4.6 shelby gt500

why pay 20-25k more for a gt500 thats only .3 faster than the gt

you pay extra for potential and the 6.1 l even with the heavy ass car its carying has much more potential then a 4.6 l v8

im done......geez
