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

Well most the comments relating to these comparisons had to do with the 0-60 times so that's what I brought up. I never said the mustang was the better car overall. I'm here so I obviously like the challenger better. I was under the impression that 0-60 was one of the most important things people look for in a muscle car, as the originals were mostly popular for drag racing. I missed the first generation of muscle car wars so maybe I just don't get it, but I think in this day and age of rising gas prices and global warming obsessions, the idea of the companies all trying to out-horsepower each other is unrealistic. They're obviously competing in other ways, such as handling, options, etc. But the main complaint still seems to be the weight of the car and how quickly it'll hit 60.
