Hey, I'm a big fan of the new challenger, especially the styling. The R/T is definitivly the best looking car of the bunch and probably the best sounding.

All of this saddens me because, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but the mustang has the performance advantage here.

As you can see here: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...on_tables.html , The mustang GT, despite being almost 5k less, has the same 0-60 time, a better quater-mile time, a faster figure-8 and, worse of all, a better handling ( 0.87g on the skidpad for the GT vs 0.82 for the R/T) despite the fact that the mustang has an archaic rear suspension.

As much as I love the challenger, it simply is a great touring car, and not much more.
