“The Two Coolest Cars in America”
Edmunds.com’s Inside Line brought the Dodge Challenger SRT8® and Ford Mustang Bullitt together for a little dance. And the winner is …
Two cars. One winner.
That’s what it came down to when Edmunds.com paired the Dodge Challenger SRT8 with another American icon: The Ford Mustang Bullitt.
Of the Challenger, Edmunds had this to say: “Chrysler is cracking the seal on its own Mopar-branded can of muscle car whoop-ass to show that it understands what’s at stake in the muscle car sweepstakes. The Bullitt and the Challenger are the two coolest cars in America, and it’s only natural to bring them together.”
And this: “The Mopar guys have always been a little different, a little off center. Their cars were always a little larger and they came in flamboyant colors that defined the muscle car era … But what made Mopar truly unique was the HEMI.®”
Different? Off center? OK, we can work with that. In fact we’ll take it as a compliment.
Edmunds supplies far too much test data for this space, so let’s cut to the chase: “So is the $40,145 Dodge Challenger SRT8 really some $5,440 better than the $34,705 Ford Mustang Bullitt? Yes, and when we crunched all the numbers into our comparison test formula, factoring performance, features, price, evaluation scores and personal/recommended choices, the Challenger won by three points.”
Kudos to the Bullitt as well, though.
