Too bad its the 2008 Challenger, so why not stop the fucking pissing match.

I'd have to see it on the road. Ford has the closest retro thing right now, the new charger is gay, I'd rather save money and buy an SRT-4 and beat the charger with a turbo 4 cylinder.

Seriously people. Save all this BS for when the car is actually on the streets and not some clay model that isn't gonna be out for another 2 years...

Im a bigger fan of mopar then ford but the new mustang is killing in sales..... Dodge isnt even close and I like the charger a hell of alot more then the new mustang.....

matter of fact i dont like the base mustang at all, but the the riced out one with the kit and all made me take a double take when i first saw it.

On the other hand I would buy the srt-8 all day long before i even test drove a new mustang, but the fact still remains... ford is owning in sales and the mustang will never go away if they keep putting down numbers like that. Numbers talk and I know by just driving around that mustangs are outselling chargers and magnums by the boatload.

it seems like you dont want me to have an opinion other than yours,(it must be cause your a mod).

you dont get crankwalk with a six bolt but im sure you know that, and who is "you guys"? also do you know what causes crankwalk? i do. also who is "most people"?

he would need a tissue because it sounded like what i said hit a nerve.

as far as the gto and charger falling short in your above catagories, we were talkin looks. oh and you show me which new mustang comes with 425hp (srt8 charger) stock? im not sure of all mustangs models but i dont think one comes with that much. why would you say they are faster they are not. mabey base model to base model...charger to stang but not base models of the 04 gto(wich is the slowest of the motors from the new gto). well i and probly most people would disagree with you about the looks of the gto.
:yawn: Have you been living under a rock or are you still high from the paint fumes when you did your wheels???

2005 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L V8 5.1 13.5 (MT Jan 05)

2005 Dodge Magnum SRT8 5.1 13.6 (C&D Sept '05)

For the sake of fairness, let's compare the stock, base V-8 to dodge's base V-8 cars:
2005 Dodge Magnum R/T AWD 5.9 14.5 (C&D Aug '05)
2005 Chrysler 300C 5.6 14.1
Because if you think it's fair to compare SRT-8's to a stock GT, I think we should be allowed to bring the yet to be released '07 GT500 into the conversation as it is a special effort by ford just like the SRT-8 is a special effort by dodge. http://www.stangnet.com/2005-Mustang...00-by-SVT.html
and we know what happens with minor tuning and a pulley swap on supercharged mustangs, but we won't get into that for the sake of this discussion.

2004 Pontiac GTO LS1 5.3 13.8

But I will give you this, for an $8000 higher MSRP the '05 GTO is two tenths faster than a stock mustang GT

2005 Pontiac GTO LS2 4.8 13.3 (C&D Jan '05)

If you still want to argue horsepower/available now, you can pick these up from your local authorized ford dealer with a factory warranty right now if you have money to burn and can't wait for the '07 GT500

theres more mustangs sold cause the base madel is kinda cheap and slow. they were made at least a year or two before the charger.

and DAVE how can an opinion be wrong? and is it wrong cause its not yours?

and SILVER i didnt generalize like you did saying "dsm's" i said the new body mustangs are ugly not all ford

let me guess PIMPALA you like the new ugly as hell mustang and impala. you couldnt come up with an opinion of you own you had to use buicks?

BUICK ill look up numbers elsewhere and see if they match and it doesnt matter, read what started this conversation the "ford flopped with the looks" and you people are saying it didnt because of the sales. bs! its a cheap car with good power for the money. but not because its so esthetically pleasing.

if you think i really care about what they have and do your wrong. they look ugly as i said above IMO,BUT APPERENTLY I CANT HAVE MY OWN OPINION right dave.

this is getting repetitve

no, u said the new mustangs were slow. you also said they were slow compared to your DSM, but your dsm is far from stock. if it wasn't you would get throttled
