Hah! Embarrassing. My 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue has a slightly smaller engine (3.8L V6) and more power! (214HP). The Mustang does have 10ft lb more torque but that's about it. Kind of sad that a family car beats out a "performance" car. But back on topic, the prices for the Challenger sound pretty darn good to me!

Priced pretty competetive with the Mustang. But with the Challenger you get more car, more horsepower (excl. GT500), more trunk room, more smiles to the gallon, etc.
For comparison I have listed the starting prices on the Mustang straight from Ford's website.
08 V6 Mustang starts at $19,650. (210hp 4.0L V6)
08 Mustang GT starts at $26,240. (300 hp 4.6L V8)
GT500 starts at $42,330. (500hp supercharged 5.4L V8)
