5 speed on that gt500 huh? LOL jackass. Its a 6 speed.

[ADD8oi]

GT500 is 540hp....this idiot knows absolutely dick about the mustang, sorry but seriously, the GT500 even from an idle launch will eat the Challenger SRT8....5 speed GT500? look at the damn shifter knob you dumbass, its a 6 speed

[01JEREMYM]

At least the challenger is all motor unlike the sorry ass gt500 that has a superchager

[mustanglover80]

for everybody that says mustangs hve shitty stability your stupid mustangs hve 1 of the best suspensions and balance from front to rear and rear to front then almost any other american made car challengers are gay i hate them and a 5.0 mustang is even faster than it

WHAT THE CHALLENGER GIVES UP TO THE COMPETITION IN POWER IT GAINS COMFORT OVER ALL THE OTHERS AND DRIVES BETTER ON NOT SO PERFECT ROADS.

That guy in the challenger looked bored sitting in that automatic. I'd never take an auto to a drag strip. I can sit in my car doing nothing but pushing the gas pedal all day and there's nothing particularly fun about that imo.

@xIAmKid2Nicex This is the 420hp Challenger...the SRT8 uses the same TR-6060 as the GT500 too. But the Challenger weighs 4200lbs...the GT500 is 3900lbs....with more power. It isn't a close race at all mate. The new 392 Challenger's are very very competitive cars though. The new ones.

@ADD8oi i dont mean to burst your bubbles but with all due respect the challenger srt8 is also 6speed and about 430-450 horsepower and the challenger is a great challange compared tp the GT500

[Elfinbrownie]

[Brood94]
