Chargers can get the srt package too

I would go with the challenger, just because of the 6spd

Edit: Its hard to beat any srt model, the Chargers are damn sexy too, can't go wrong. If you're sticking to the auto, def go charger....

Do you want a 2 door with classic looks, or can you live with a 4 door that just looks MEAN?

Now me and you could get along real good my friend

Im a ford fanboy at heart, but I appreciate all performance vehicles, even the fast wrong-wheel drive ones.

Out of all the srt models, Id go with the Jeep hands down. No suv is supposed to be that fast, 'specially right out the box. The whole srt lineup is sex, as is ('cept for the srt4, they need some rims/springs before they look good) DO IT!!

We will get along real well as I love the SRT8 Cherokee. The 300C SRT8 is a close second but when it comes to pony cars you cannot beat the mustang for the performance it offers for you money and its tuning ease.

The challenger R/T with a 6sp is Fun, and really a cool car to drive, The Charger, Challenger, and the 300 C are bulit on the same platform.

Price wise, the Challenger is way over priced for the level of performance you get, Facter out the price and I'm all for a SRT 8 Challenger, add a budget and a Charger R/T is ok with me.

Chargers, 300 c and Challengers handel and perform better than you would expect, but lighter car with = h/p is allways going to quicker on the track, add three passengers and the mustang is not that Fun
