In the post I picked up "one wheel peel" for the challenger.

We have seen some drifting on the 08 that indicates an open or crappy rear end. I'm hoping they get it resolved.

I'm even more hopeful the trak pak option with the 6 speed is much better posi unit.

Hard to really evaluate the two without seeing them in person. I know in other pictures the Challenger dwarf the Mustang in size but in these pics. it looks closer.

yes i saw the challenger side by side with a 94-98 style mustang and it made it look tiny the 05-08 mustangs are a bit larger so it doesn't look as bad

On its own people complain that the challenger is a lot pudgier than the 70s one, but next to the mustang it actually looks slimmer and sleeker. Not necessarily smaller, just more proportional within itself.

I believe its 1/2 a second faster than the Bullitt in the 1/4 mile. They really should look at the 0-60 if they think that the Challenger is slower out of the hole And when the 6-speeds come out... lets just say they had the closest they will get with this setup

I'm a Mustang guy, but the Challenger definitely is winning me over
