Boy...you'd think that HEMI would start to pull a little closer in the 60-100mph range. I'm sure all the natural aspiration vs forced air induction arguments will be made shortly. Ya knwo what, I don't wanna hear it. At the end of the day, both cars, out of the box...the GT500 bests the Challenger in every single performance category. And if any of you old-school guys try and say that you wouldn't pay an extra $4,000 for the extra power, you're kiddin yourselves...
