I bought a 2010 Challenger R/T in B5 blue and I never got tired of looking at it. Perfect execution of muscle car styling that is also a good summer daily driver. Yea you can feel the weight, but it doesn't make it any less fun to drive

[@hyperchuk]

My thougjts eXactly, I have a 2015 R/T Scat pack 6 speed, I also had a 70 R/T 440 4 speed Challenger 😁 (50 years ago)

[@nate1204]

How was the handling/turning?

[@1000roentgens]

I’m sorry

[@bobparker3215]

@@nate1204 You can feel the weight in a hard turn but it honestly doesn't handles pretty good for a car of its size. Steering feel is a little numb but precise. Upgrading the brakes to carbon fiber ceramics goes a long way. The chassis of these are based on Mercedes E class so there is some inherent German characteristics.

[@christopherbrock8913]

Good point about the (weight) - I have a Challenger and a Mustang - there is a huge difference when it comes down to the weight and being able to hug curves - but I really could not choose one over the other because I love driving each car for difference reasons - I will be getting a Camaro soon - everyone says that the Camaro is the fastest of the 3 cars - each car has its own benefits in my opinion - and honestly, it is not about the speed with the Challenger or the Mustang so I am looking forward to see if the Camaro really makes me want to drive faster

[@mixah5566]

I personally think the original mustang was a sports car, just over time with the introduction of the Camaro and Challenger, that’s when the muscle car name emerged. Now I love the Challengers, just it’s starting to show age and I see them EVERYWHERE, same with mustangs but a lot of people custom them and I just always get giddy seeing a Mustang

A wide body scatpack might not be as fast as my modified 2012 5.0 but it sure as hell looks mean af.

Id probably pick the Mustang simply cuz it's smaller and lighter. I'm not a brand loyalist so idgaf who makes what car. They're both awesome but I like smooth sleek lines over a boxy beast. To each their own. Tbh wish the mustang used the ZF 8 - speed though.

[@EricZAchille]

I was really hesitating between both and ended up buying a brand new Mustang GT just because it was such a better car for the money, I paid 10k less than for a Challenger scatpack

[@markelraya10]

@@EricZAchilleYeah it’s cheaper and faster. The only thing that I dislike about mustang fan is the top speed. Ford needs to remove that governor and get Y rated tires so we can hit 180 like 392s can… ridiculous they don’t want to put them on there.

[@tobynobel5671]

Challenger! The Challenger is the absolute closed to it's roots, and is true to being a "muscle car," more than Ford or Chev. Judging from the Mustang Mach E being a crossover (advertised with chicken wings and chilled drinks in the frunk) and GM wanting to go in the similar direction. It will still be Mopar for the win with their teaser for their EV muscle with the return of the Fratzog logo and possible 67 Charger shaped front end...

[@mrsoisauce9017]

Even the more “muscley” muscle cars are more of sports cars with muscle car engines. Both the Mustang and the Camaro put more emphasis on cornering than they do outright speed, which isn’t inherently a bad thing unless we’re talking abt a muscle car. The point of a muscle car is speed and power in a straight line. It should never corner well. Dodge understands this where other competitors don’t, and that’s what I love abt the dodge

I like the challenger for classic look it is big but it's flows well and is expected, i would typically want a mustang but the current ones look and feel soooo long physically. I love the s197 (2005-2009) size the next gen got too bloated and the current is stretched out too much. Camero maybe long as well but the portions for me make it seem "smaller"/ more sports car size

[@fcssensai]

Short, and straight to the point. Within 60 seconds I was able to tell you have zero clue about cars, zero clue on how to rate or compare them, and that this entire 10 minute "breakdown" is more or less a 10 minute rant about why one is prettier to you in your opinion because it looks....*checks paper* older?

100% agree, the Mustang turned into a sportscar and the Challenger is still a muscle car... BUT I cannot glide over the Challenger's proportions.... just too fat!! It needs 10" shaved on the whole bottom. Way way too fat and bulky... Even some big wheels options look small with that body size. The interior looks good, but again, just way too big

The CR-V, Civic, and pilot of that time are the best designed ones yet in my opinion.

The 2015 redesign of the Mustang was such a home run. I think the S197 has aged with mixed results, but the 2015+ S550 still looks so fresh to me, and even a clean GT will still catch my attention. SN95s have aged the worst, imo.

[@waynemangan9925]

The plate on mine says TRU MSCL. And for what it is, the cornering is actually pretty suprizing, But you have the best sounding engine, and it feels like it's 1970 all the time.

Challenger looks nice, but the mustang 5.0 mustang beats it in every performance category. 392’s sound nice though.

[@brandonperlow9091]

Yeah gotta disagree here. Challenger is too retro and single purpose. Its a "look" car with just power. The mustang is a proper GT, and the better ones are compelling sports cars. Cant beat that car for looks, performance, and price. I would say the biggest thing against(Not a problem for me) the current Mustang, is that its got a lot of Aston Martin DNA in it. It feels like it could have evolved from the 80s-vantage v8, and the 90s vantage v600. The grille is definately a leftover from when Ford owned Aston and stole their grille.

[@EricZAchille]

Very interesting point. The current mustang is truly the poor man's Aston Martin.

[@Guythatlivesaquietlife]

Mustang all day. Its driving experience makes the Challenger jealous

[@GrillerRohde]

Yeah because the Mustang isn´t a Muscle car. Its a pony car, and the GT350/GT500 are pure sports cars. The Dodge Challanger allways was and still is a heavy, comfortable car and has more power than neccessary.

[@nobodynothing6551]

The Mustang was never a muscle car. There were variants of the 68-73 that could wear that moniker, sure for homologation purposes mostly, but the Mustang was primarily a sporty rebody of a Falcon marketed at baby boomer secretaries and bachelors. Ford decided to devote attention to racing and contracted Shelby to convert the little couple into a sports car so they could go win some trans am trophies. This would make the mustang a sports car years before it got a monstrous motor as an option. Dodge has actually done the Challenger's history as a trans am car a disservice by focusing on muscle rather than balanced performance. The Charger was always the muscle car in its lineup. Then again, they have certainly found their niche haven't they?

The challenger since the redesign looks good, but….is way too heavy of a muscle car and only any good on a drag strip in a straight line. It sucks for turns an constantly shifting up an down in turns. The Mustang at least GT and up can do the job fast and in curves. It’s considered a heavy car but nowhere’s as ridiculous as the challenger for weight. The Mustang wins in performance on an actual track by a country mile vs dodge is a straight line car for people who want to pretend they are racers, but can’t actually race with talent short of go fast for a quarter mile.

I got a small headache because it’s a pony car vs muscle car comparison haha. It’s like comparing a sports car to a super car and asking why the sports car isn’t in the image of a super car. It’s just not a sound argument or comparison here, and I like both the mustang and challenger. Just because it’s American doesn’t make it muscle. Pony cars are an American take on European sports cars yet affordable for the American citizen. There’s a reason the mustang back in the 60s-70s looked more sporty than the Dodge Charger of its time. The challenger started off as a “pony” car and was marketed as such in the 70s for dodge, but then turned into a “muscle” car and is now marketed as a “muscle” car nowadays. Just like how dodge made the charger a sedan instead of the pure muscle car that it was in the 70s. The challenger is the ONLY car in this comparison WHOS changed category NOT the mustang. I dont know why ppl refuse to attempt to even get a mental grasp on this concept it hurts my brain mentally lol. But love the channel regardless. I just dislike when ppl ignore that mustangs and Camaros stayed pony cars and never changed, and only the challenger who was supposed to be the pony car answer to the original mustang and Camaro is the only one that “changed”.

Ford is by far the best brand when it comes to retro design, the mustang, bronco, and gt all have retro elements, and clearly have a resemblance to those designs from the 60s.
