Nice write up... Definitly chalk one up for Charger!

Cool story, and I will take a Charger ANY DAY over the Shelby. Love it when the journalists quote the MSRP list price for the Shelby. Good luck w/that. Stealerships in Texas are selling them for 25k over sticker. Go figure.

If your looking for speed, there is only one answer. The GT500 is a 10 second car with MINIMAL mods. They are already running in the 9s!!

Yes, we sit here with our SRTs and WISH we had that kind of modability. Fact is, we dont.

I love that color charger! man what i'd give to have been able to be in that report! I'd pay them for the 40 hrs!

Man, I wish I had writing skills.

That was a great article. Even though the Charger won on just about every point. He made a great argument for that ugly-assed Mustang.

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but, man that mustang especially in a coupe is one of the most beautiful cars ive ever seen. especially after wheel and tire kit and lowered.

I agree 100%. The same can be said for the LX lineup IMO. I don't think any of them look great from the storeroom.

I blew past a brand spankin' new GT500 today like it was standing still....ok, so it was on a car carrier....looked nice, but I like the comforts of my 300 better...

Yes, I don't need a 9 or 10 second car to drive on the street. If I did, I get a Cummins powered Ram, hehe.

Im assuming that was a joke?

I know there are no 9 second Cummins STREET trucks. I think the best is a high 10-low 11, somewhere in there.
Im trying to talk the wife into a set of twins for my truck.
