@almasi72 the mustang is lighter too, all what needs to happen is weight reduction with the challenger and that will happen with time. Remember what car used to spank your precious mustang back in the day of true muscle cars.

Lets see some REAL American MUSCLE! Put a 1970 440 Challenger with heads and a cam out there and it would SPANK any modern *muscle* car! Lets see a race between a 1970 stock challenger and the best stock mustang out there and see who gets stomped in the 1/4. How bout it motertrend?

@cjbartnik Hold on bro. You getting beside yourself. The 5.0 automatic weighs 4000lbs and with the manual tranny 3875. You still not getting it. You should make up for the weight with your cubic inch. The mustang runs stock what these guys running with superchargers. We are talking a 302 to a 396 with a supercharger. Dodge needs to go back to the drawing board. N/A not supercharged. They still making them heavy because they putting more cubic inch to keep up.

@tremail12  See what your "forgetting" is the lightest stock Ford Rustang (v6) weighs in at 3750 lbs and is a pony car where as a Dodge Challenger at its heaviest stock weighs in at 4140lbs. Almost 400 pounds (get a calculator because it is easy to see you do not have the intelligence to add). The Challenger is a full size muscle car with a real honest to goodness trunk and back seat...I am just saying.

Cameraman: Oh man that haircut is so hot....

Oh damn the race is about to start..

but wait damn that haircut is rockin!

@jasonkutnink87 The mustang only weighs a couple 100 lbs more. See what you are forgetting is that you have more cubic inch. You're talking 392 ci to a 302 ci. So dodge has a long way to go. This guy ran a 12 with a supercharger with more cubic inch and the mustang will run that stock. Will run 11's with tune, exhaust, and intake. Also back in the day dodge had those big ass 440 ci running little 302s and 351s. Dodge can lighten the car up and still get they ass kicked. I'm just saying.

They failed at video taping the actual fucking drag race..

and when I say "laugh about" i don't mean I'm hating on the american muscle, I mean when I spin out @ the track after using every ounce of skill in my body to NOT spin out, I would be laughin my ass off with a huge smile on my face,. I'd feel the same way spinning out a c63 AMG but on my way home I would have reservations about having spent 80 grand or so on something that can't take a turn for shit

@sangheraa yeah not to mention its the cheapest of all the new-muscle out there right now... Top Gear host Richard Hammond has the same perspective, it's all about the american spirit of a big muscled out classic brought into modern standard. To a degree I would actually myself rather drive something I can laugh about and enjoy, while still holding moderate ground in terms of performance... with an AMG benz I would be afraid to toss it around as much as a new era muscle car, costs twice as much.
