Challenger: Faster than a Speeding Bullitt?


http://www.edmunds.com/insidel... The rebirth of the American muscle car is about a lot more than retro. It's about pride. It's about recalling a time when Americans looked down the road to the future with confidence, and they wanted a great big V8 engine to get them there as soon as possible. It's no wonder the 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt has our respect. It's the best version yet of the 2005 Ford Mustang, the car that set Detroit on fire again with enthusiasm for good old American muscle. Maybe the fuel-guzzling muscle car won't save Detroit from the challenge to build cars that people need, but it's surely restored the domestic car industry's confidence in its ability to do so. And it's shown that Americans can build cars that are utterly unlike anything you'll find in Stuttgart, Shanghai, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur or any of those other places that economists think they're so clever to know about. Now that the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 is here, 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.

or you could buy a cheaper faster F-body and you could look at the other two from the rear view mirror

Challenger SRT8 does not come with manual transmission that is so stupid from the Doge but i totally agree with the back sit in the Challenger.

tradition mostly now. In the 60s and 70s, the only affordable powerful engine you could buy was a V8. 10 and 12 cylinders were only for the serious money, way out of reach for your average Joe's. Also only until recently have V6s been putting down decent power. They were not ideal for a true muscle car when they were first conceived.

v8s have always been used in muscle cars...chargers, mustangs, camaros and so on....v10s and 12s are more for exotic cars...v8s offer up more torque and they cost less to make so thats why they been in muscle cars
propmeistaape (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
why is v8 considered muscle when 10s and 12 cylinders are bigger? and the v6 isnt that much smaller no? some one tell me plz

Man, that's not what muscle cars are about. It's not all about speed, it's about big torque, American Muscle. Harkening back to a time with big cars and even bigger engines. It's not about euro style handling and running the 24 hrs of Le Mans, it's a totally different genre, man.
