Vs Comparison: 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 vs. 2008 Ford Shelby GT500

Time Travelers: Nixon may not be in the White House, but among the Big Three it's 1970 all over again.

Something's wrong. Parked outside is a brand-new Dodge Challenger. Next to it, a freshly baked Ford Shelby GT500. Yet nowhere in the CBS television lineup can I find a listing for that funny new series "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." Also, what's with all this gray hair? I'm only nine years old.

What'll it be folks?

I'll take the Dodge.

 

[Merc1]

Dodge for me too. If this were the GT500KR I'd have to go with the Mustang.

Dodge pour moi,BTW when the Camaro will be available? would be my choice no doubt!

 

[Merc1]

The Camaro joins the party exactly one year from now. It should be shown in final production trim at the 2009 Detroit auto show and go on sale next spring.

That's a bit too late,it's 70s cousins are having all the fun now,pity when it looks best among them IMO.

 

[Merc1]

If I know GM they'll make for it with sheer hp.

I hope so coz a while ago i heard some GM spokesman says it'll have around 450hp which is just like the others,i do really hope they push it a bit further.I truly drool over that muscle car
