If you guys are worried about the power output and would like a heads up on your options... then go to a Charger Forum and read what they have available. Their are some real nice after market and Mopar Performance parts to help you in the HP department. But if you would, please wait until the actual Challenger hits the road and gets thrashed before you get all wound up about the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. As far as Mustang vs Challenger... that will have to wait until they do a comparison. Then it should be R/T against GT. Automatic against automatic. I'm with you Jeremiah, read and have knowledge of your equipment. Knowledge is power How fast do you want to go. Is relevent to how much you want to spend
