Challenger to Mustang Convert

[BenInAZ]

Hi guys, just joined the site and wanted to tell you guys how much I absolutely fell in love with my brand new, brought home today, 2016 GT PP. I've always been a Mopar fan and would never have considered the Mustang until my wife of two months (and a former Mustang owner) convinced me to take an extended test drive last week.

So today I traded in my beloved 2013 Plum Crazy Challenger RT Classic for a 2016 Guard Mustang GT with the PP. I couldn't believe the difference in performance between the two. My Challenger had the Super Track Pack option, along with several bolt-on's that weren't cheap (JBL shorties, high flow cats, American Thunder cat-back, Airaid intake, custom Diablo tune, Petty's strut tower brace and Mopar lowering springs). Even with all those goods, the stock Mustang just blows it away in terms of handling, acceleration and fun factor.

I put the first 60 miles on her tonight after work taking a twisty back road to Tombstone just to stretch her legs a bit. Love it and am now a proud Mustang convert! Now to figure out how to break the news to my dad, a Mopar guy from the old days....

Some Mopar fans would say your "Plum Crazy" for trading it for a Ford

Now that you have a car that turns you can do some serious canyon carving

My dad owned a 1970 RoadRunner and up until a few years ago a pretty nice '69 Charger driver. He's not going to like the news. I loved the Plum, but Dodge didn't keep the color limited like they should have and I tend to like driving more than just waxing, cruising and going to car shows.

I am really surprised this didn't come from Rough Hollow Man.

Ha! I know that road. Congrats on the move. The new 15 and 16 Challengers are better cars than previous years, but still can't hold a candle to the new Mustang.

Hahaha, exactly my thoughts ! Lol
When I read the comment, I looked at who posted it, being sure he did, and Oh, surprise, wasn't him lol

 

[Arsenalslr95]

A more true comparison would have been the challenger SRT to the Mustang GT, in terms of being blown away by how the mustang GT is compared to the challenger

 

[Rough Hollow Man]

Wow recognition indeed!

So I leave this Forum for a couple hours and everyone starts looking for me? And yes that "Plum Crazy" comment is just trite enough to have been uttered by me.:headbonk: And as to the color PURPLE, as I've said before, Ford is missing a bet by not using that regal hue. I'd be the first in line to buy such a noble looking Purple Pony.:hail: And one more thing Dudes & Dudettes... you give me high praise indeed when referring to me as ...The Cyclone King.:lol::lol::cheers:

Now back to the topic...welcome BenInAZ to your new Mustang Obsession. Sounds like you made a wise " conversion". If your Dad drives your Mustang, I'm sure he too will admit what a fine automobile you have now. And tell him the Guard color would have been the late Steve McQueen's choice for this new Mustang also. Enjoy!
