Judging by the title, you have already figured out what we are comparing. But before we get to that, here is something to notice about the American muscle cars. They are like superheroes of the car world but with a bit of a rebellious streak. That is why Bumble Bee was a Chevrolet Camaro and not a Mercedes-Benz AMG in the Transformers movie series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American muscle cars have a simple recipe, shove the most possible power under the bonnet and give it a flamboyant body with flared wheel arches. However, changing times have upgraded this segment to be much more than a car for the drag strips. And today on DubiCompare we are pitting the two best examples of this segment head-to-head: the Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger<\/a>. Let\u2019s see who takes the quarter-mile victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting with the overall dimensions, since the Challenger has a widebody kit, you would think that is the bigger of the two muscle cars. However, notice that the wheelbase of the Challenger is over 220mm longer than the Mustang and is actually bigger regardless of the widebody kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The widebody kit, headlamp-positioned ram-air intake, spoiler, and slightly larger wheels are the appealing factors on the Challenger. On the other hand, the Mustang\u2019s design is one of the greatest in the muscle car history. If anyone can create a modern design with old-school inspiration, then Ford is the best in the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both have the bare minimum in terms of creature comforts as standard. American muscle car buyers like that the cabin is not turned into a tech-fest. Out of the two, the Ford Mustang<\/a> has a better look and feel to the interiors. Dodge and Ford offer a ton of options with both these cars to personalise according to the buyer\u2019s taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
