It's not just that there are 2 writers at the magazine, although that does play into it. The OP referenced the lightning lap which is a very specific kind of test. The Challenger is just not a good match for that kind of test. However a Challenger is awesome for 'hooning' or whatever Jalopnik calls it. Romping around on regular streets doing burnouts and such.
I guess I feel for the Challenger because I have the opposite problem. I have an 09 Cobalt SS/TC. It clearly fights way above it's weight class in that competition, and it's a solid little daily driver. However on more generic tests GTI's or MS3's always win the competition because they are heavier and more refined, even though I know they'll be sucking my exhaust if there were tighter apex's between here and the grocery store.
