Whats the purpose of having a v6 challenger? That's like watching soft porn...

@pureluck30 No everyone can afford a 40,00 car ...

[YourGodStalin]

@khouch1203 Because a build V6 can be just as powerful as a built V8.

[shadowfaxed]

@khouch1203 cause we can't afford the V8 models :(

@soyntgo4it yeah i jusy cant wait to see the comparion test on the ZL1 and gt500....and i heard dodge is going to supercharge their challenger so hopefully they will so i can the the shelby own them both

@Mattjosh50 YUP 2013 Mustang Shelby GT 500 fast car nothing can touch from what they say.. Well Challenger and Camaro are big boats compared to the light weighted Stang..

[Mattjosh50]

@soyntgo4it The fastest production car??? Im a mustang guy but thats a little far-fetched...I wouldnt say that the callenger or camaro are a waste of sheet metal cause mustang need somebody to smoke inbetween lights lol....And youre right i think both the challenger and camaro are made in canada the stang is still made in the US! BTW we have had some shady years 74-78 and when they were thinking about ending production and replacing it..

[soyntgo4it]

Waste of sheet metal along with the Camaro. Nothing but Boats... Now the Mustang is a true Muscle and always will be. Only true American made vehicle. 2013 Mustang Shelby GT500 will smoke all and any car its going to be the fastest production car ever made.

@jstar3293 fuck the pony car war, they wanted to make a car that looked like an old challenger, they did it. It's 100x better then a shitty ass stand, and ugly ass camaro.

@hockeyhuntingriding i didnt say aerodynamic did i? no... they need a new chassis and shave a lot of weight,,, they are trying to be luxury because thats the only thing the challenger can try to hang its hat on
