I would never choose the Dodge over the Mustang. Too big, handles like a pig, ancient chassis, ugly and just not a car I would want to drive. There's no comparison to the Coyote V8, and the Mustang is as comfortable a driver as I have ever owned. It's far classier than the cartoonish Challenger. (Many of these comments apply double to the Camaro.)

So, yesterday I test drove the Challenger SRT 392 and Mustang GT, back to back, both 2014 models. Why the old models? 2015 isn't available yet, and I figured if I actually liked the one I'm test driving, I'm sure I'll love the 2015's. Put in my mind I have never drove a V8 before, or a RWD vehicle.

Let's start with the SRT 392. First of all, I like the way it sounds and feel when you rev the car, the whole thing shakes! The hood (and the car itself) felt huge but I had no problem with rear visibility. Once I got on the road, I felt like a kid in a playground. I was having so much fun. I hit the accelerator a bit and the car growls jumping from its place. It felt so powerful and sounded really good! TBH, I didn't expect to like it that much.

Now to the Mustang GT. It's comfortable, visibility is better, and it sounds so loud when you rev it, louder than the SRT, but also they both have different exhaust tones. Due to the location of the Ford dealer, I had a chance to take the car on a long straight road with no speed cameras. I hit the accelerator and the car seems very rapid but too smooth. It didn't feel overpowered, rather very quick. I could also smell the tires burning even though I didn't do a burnout, just a normal launch control.

Overall, I'm still confused AF. I don't know much about the mechanics of a car, so I don't understand exactly what Torque is, and how it affects the driving experience, but I think this is what I felt with the Challenger? Great power pushing the car from it's place even at low speeds? Honestly, I enjoyed the Challenger more, it was more fun. Please remember these were both 2014 models.

This is such apples and oranges.

IMO, the 2015 Mustang driving experience is significantly better than the 2014. The interior is much better, exterior more sleek, driving experience far more refined. I know you're just excited to get a new car, but just wait until you get to test drive a 2015. The overall experience is just that much better and I have a feeling the decision will be much easier.

Yep, you should have test-driven a 2015 before making a decision.
