Comparing one car's base
Comparing one car's base price to that of a fully-loaded car with a ton of available options just doesn't make sense. Dollar to dollar, the Mustang has the best 0-60 of any of the modern muscles. That's what makes it best car for me, because that's really the only thing I care about. The Challenger's reason for being, in my view, is to be a whole lot more comfortable and a whole lot more stylish while still giving muscle car performance. As far as the 2014 SRT goes, even dodge itself rates it the "high fours", making it slightly slower than the 5.0 which clocks in at 4.4 to 4.5 seconds, depending on who you ask. Even if they were the same, 32k vs 40k speaks for itself. And this is even without the aftermarket. The mustang has the largest and most competitive aftermarket of any of these cars, which means high-power mods for good prices. Dollar for dollar, the stang can offer the best 0-60. It might not turn, and it's not too comfortable, and everyone and their mother has one. But for this, it holds the crown.
