yeah, well if we were wanting to neener neener each other on the playground, we could whip out a Dodge SRT10 and see how the mustang does, lol. Likely same price range

Are you serious, likely the same price range ? A GT500 has a base price around 45k a Viper costs twice as much.
Not to mention the similarities between these 2. They both are 4 seaters they both have somewhat usable trunks they’re both V8s they both have a base price of under 50k.

The challenger is an overweight piece of shit. It handles like a boat, is slower and you cant see out of the damn thing for shit. Also if you’ve seen a 300c interior you’ve seen a challenger interior. When you get in a mustang you don’t think hey I’ve seen this before. Nice cost cutting measures in that POS mopar.
Also when you drive a mopar you’ll end up in no car when it breaks down.

“2007ShelbyCobra”
would you believe me if I tell you I have a gt500 sitting in my garage?
July 4th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
“5999cc” no, I wouldn’t
July 5th, 2009 at 12:47 am
no, I really do have one, It’s black with white strips, I bought it about a year ago for $54k (it was priced for $60k), I though $54 was a good deal, but then after couple months the economy collapsed, and now they are giving a discount on the new ones… I have many videos of it, I will upload one soon.

Dont be hating because you dont have the money to go yourself a Dodge Challenger SRT8!!! Mopar Or No Car

The Gt500 is ugly and gay compared to the challenger.
July 8th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
lol challenger is one of the best handling muscle cars genius..
July 8th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
does shelby come stock with supercharger? cuz u can spend like 7,000 and get techno twin screw supercharger for challenger give it 1000+ hp and make it a mid 9 second quarter mile
July 8th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
LOL where the hell did you hear that ? Everything I’ve heard about them is that their stabibility management isn’t fully defeatable and their weight makes them understeer a lot. Also they routinely pull less g’s on the skidpad. How is that better handling ? Also your comment about putting a supercharger on it, tuners have problems with the ECU tuning and have to use a rudimentary piggyback system and extra injectors. Show me a video of a new challenger/charger/magnum putting down 1000hp.

i love the fact that these ford guys talk shit even tho the proof of the lacking is in front of them. GM has been making 12 second cars for decades. Example the V6 Grand National GNX, the GMC typhoon and syclone just to name a few. Since the sixties Ford hasnt perfomed the way GM or Chrysler has and does.Like the super bee and the plymoth dayton on the mopar end then the ruler of the late 60s and early 70s the chevelle 454SS the shelbys of the day fell short. Not much has changed but ford trys.
July 10th, 2009 at 7:45 am
So now you’re a GM and Chrysler fan ? What happened to brand loyalty ? I guess you probably wouldnt know anything about that. Also what new Camaro or Challenger can compete with a GT500 ? Oh thats right none. So why don’t you stop your pointless argument now before your “beloved” Chrysler looks really bad. Don’t forget the only American manufacturer that hasnt taken a bailout is Ford. Thats probalby because they know how to appeal to more than one market, again something you wouldn’t know about
July 10th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Ummm duh……..yeah im a GM/Chrysler fan! And for the record, mustangs are old and out dated, cheap built hey ya get wat you pay ford, thats why ford is doin better, cheap prices, and police have been good customers but soon not be any more, cuz dodge is takin it back like the old days, its only my opinion that i choose to drive dodge just chill out , its typical ford vs chevy vs dodge guys argue bout whos better. Geezzzz calm down dude! You take opinions way to serious it’s just the internet.
July 10th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
No I take arrogance serious whether it’s someone I’ve met in person or the internet. What I meant by ford knowing how to appeal to more than one market is Ford Europe sells many more cars that GMs European division and the only thing that did somewhat well for Chrysler overseas recently was the PT Cruiser. Ford has had the best selling pickup for about 2 decades now and the Focus was the best selling car worldwide a couple years ago. When was the last time GM/chrysler had a best selling anything
July 11th, 2009 at 3:39 am
You are right, and i agree with you 100% cuz ford do sell more and has best selling models, but im not going by best selling or anything. But let it be known that ford has had the most recalls on their vehicles than any other car manufacture. Plus GM and chrysler both have a good reputation for better reliable vehicles than ford does. And the only thing that’s keeping ford alive are their trucks cuz they are selling more than the cars. But the Ram beat out the 2010 F-150 on 3 comparisons tests.
July 12th, 2009 at 3:37 am
yes shelby’s come stock with S/C. you can also get S/C for the shelby, ever herd of kenne bell
July 12th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
wow this video is biased as fuck the shelby beat it in everything buy the challenger wins wow
July 12th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
that is hilarious, The challenger is a grownups car, why cause it is slow and only comes in auto. And it kind of reminds me of a small office building on wheels, so yeah they’re right. It is a grownups car. Mustang wins by a landslide. Oh and you can order one with independent rear dumbasses.
July 13th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
i cant wait for a 2010 GT500 vs 2010Camaro SS showdown …already know whats gonna happen though ..the 2010 gt500 dynos at 511 rwhp ..that camaro has 426 at the crank so the rear wheels are like 385 at least gonna get spanked buy the shelby no doubt
July 14th, 2009 at 5:33 am
Not to burst your bubble, but Challengers come with 6speed manuals too.
July 15th, 2009 at 3:40 am
beautiful interior…..it looks like a freakin Charger look alike interior dodge seems to like to copy and paste their interiors
July 17th, 2009 at 5:43 am
marine6776 are you retarded nigga dodge will walk all over ford errday as for ford they can suck on these nuts they had to supercharge their motor just to keep up with mopar muscle if dodge was to supercharge the 6.1 hemi it would be pointless cause them tires would not even think bout getting traction cause it would spit rubber all over the ford and the douchebag driving it
July 18th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
stop bitchin and whinin already .your dodge lost to the Mighty Ford GT500 in the quarter mile and in the 0- 60 catergory ..and even in that dodge had a supercharger ..the GT500 Supersnake 725 hp would consume it whole
