They are both auto.

What kind of race? 0-60, 1/4 mile, etc? Either way, the race would be close but the Mustang will have the slight edge.

ive seen this race before except the mustage had a few mods a cold air, tune, and a quickshift and the mustange obviously won easily... dodge is way to heavy

2008 Dodge Charger has 340-350hp depending upon the model, and it could only be had with an automatic transmission so manual transmission performance of the car is obviously a non issue. Performance was decent enough for the class, but it wasn't even close to what any 2005 or newer Mustang GT can muster.

ya, there are no mods done to either.
And kevin, i'm guessing you thought I said Challenger? lol
And Charlie, either race.

Kinda depends, a 2008 CHarger R/T, especially with Road and Track package is capable of low 14s, even high 13s, same as an auto 05-09 GT, should be a drivers race.

2010 SSRS · 03-08-2010, 11:47 AM

Charger

Mustang, easily. Has the weight advantage by a wide margin, and the Charger's extra HP doesn't really make up for it.

Mustang GT has an avg. 1/4 of 5.2, the Charger's is 5.6. That is for the automatics of course. I don't recall if they offer stick in the RT for 2008. I want to say the Challenger in 2009 was the first 5.7 Hemi to get a stick attached to it.

You'd need a stick 5.7 if you want to have a shot at matching the GT, an SRT-8 to beat it.

Umm mustang will walk this car all day. not even close.
