Between the Chally and the Charger, I'd pick the Chally. My preference would be a Magnum SRT-8, though.

Personally I would love a new SRT8 Challenger 6-speed. I prefer the 05-09 Mustang over the looks of the 2010. The GT500 with 540hp is a nice 11sec ride right out of the box.
Both of these cars are way too heavy!!! 4000lbs is about 800 too much for a pony car.

Of course you see a lot more stangs than challengers. The challenger just came out while the stangs has been around since the 60s. If the challenger stays in production 5-10 years from now you'll see a lot of them. Just over the last few months i see 2 or 3 weekly.

Its so funny on here sometimes. I swear earlier this year there were numerous threads about Mustangs, mainly how much they sucked and how slow they were. A couple guys were even laying claim beating S197 GT's (05-09). I think a stock hemi-ram would have its hands full with the 4.0, much less the 3v.

Admittedly, the '10 mustang is just about horrible. The Roush models add a little lip to the back, making it a little better.

If you want an auto and have a family, I personally say go with the pontiac g8 gt. If ya are staying away from 4doors, the 'stang would be first, auto or manual. Die-hard mopar man, stick to the challenger.

dude did you not read my post? I said it would still lose but make a good statement for that big of a truck vs that small of a car...

Hand you your taint,lol !!! If money is an issue you'll probably find a better deal on a used Charger.

At some point chrysler stopped engineering their cars, and now they have trouble selling them

Between those two, I would choose a new Camaro SS. I like those and they kind of haul ***. 426hp ain't no joke!
