Ford Mustang vs Dodge Challenger
Sometimes, your best friend is the muscle car parked in your garage. Time and time again, they deliver what few can: masterful performance, memorable personality, and looks to make even the most revered sit in awe.
If you’re a driver near Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake, Virginia, check out our Ford Mustang vs. Dodge Challenger comparison. Cavalier Ford Greenbrier believes both race-ready cars are primed for competition, but which one is best suited for you?
Two Muscle Cars. One Bold Personality.
The Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger each make its mark with the dashing design inside and out. Both muscle cars offer illuminated headlamps, vivid color schemes, and bold, innovative hoods to create intimidation for their racing competition.
However, only the Ford Mustang boasts the integrated, streamlined design of the Mach-1 trim level. This special build includes a plethora of timeless inclusions, such as low-gloss Magnetic and Black accents, hood and body-side stripes, and a redesigned front fascia and grille for added aerodynamics.
Plus, the Mustang Mach-1 comes standard with Recaro® cloth sport seats. These race day-ready seats aren’t found in the Challenger.
Smoke Out the Roadway
Performance is, of course, the key to the power supplied by the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger. In their own rights, both provide ample support for any need for speed, which begins with a healthy selection of motor options for your consideration, including:
|
Ford Mustang |
Dodge Challenger |
|
2.3L EcoBoost® 4-cylinder |
3.6L Pentastar® V6 |
|
5.0L Ti-VCT V8 |
5.7L HEMI® V8 |
|
5.2L supercharged cross-plane crank V8 |
392 HEMI® V8 |
As we mentioned above, the Mustang Mach-1 trim is a unique heavyweight within its class. Interested drivers may be pleased to learn that the available Mach 1 Handling Package includes several beefy additions that outshine the Challenger, such as:
- 19-inch Dark Tarnished-painted aluminum wheels
- 305/30R19 front tires and 315/30R19 rear tires
- Adjustable strut top mounts
Always Connected & Safe
They say it’s on the inside that counts, a testament taken to heart by both Ford and Dodge. For instance, the Mustang offers the available, class-exclusive 12-inch LCD digital cluster for full configuration. This setup not only allows for tailored drive modes in one easy spot, but it’s as responsive as the engine you rev.
Plus, the digital cluster allows drivers to customize its colors and gauge layout to match any sort of driving personality. While the Challenger offers the optional 7-inch reconfigurable Digital Cluster Display, it does not provide the wide-ranging capabilities seen with the 12-inch cluster in the Mustang.
Oh, and only the Mustang offers the rich capability of the available B&O Sound System® by Bang & Olufsen™. Its 12-speaker setup is sure to provide new depth to your favorite racing music.
Try the Ford Mustang for Yourself
Rain or shine, the tenacity of both the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger proves to be muscular, tenacious, and versatile. However, Cavalier Ford Greenbrier has found that the Mustang’s unadulterated power under the hood makes for a more worthwhile performance.
