I was at the mag store today and saw the Car & Dumbass magazine today where they compared the R/T Charger , Mustang and Gto in a one mile race. The gto won hands down and the mustang came in second. Thats all fine with me. I realize the mustang is lighter and was tuned to speed. The gto is also made to zip around as well and is also lighter in weight so that I also understand. My gripe isnt which is faster and they do mention that the cahrger is real fast and in the long run is faster then the mustang and the gto.
My problem lies in the way the Tester explains how No one and I mean he said No one looks at the cahrger and that its exterior is not appealing at all. He does say that the chargers interior is better then both of the other 2.
The only reason they did the test is becuase the charger has a hemi with more horsepower then those 2 but why would you compare a 2 door sports car such as the mustanfg and the gto with a new 4 door sedan luxory sports car. Its obvious that my charger is a luxory slash muscle car and not the other way around. They should let there readers know how pontiacs stink 1 year later and feel like they are falling apart. He also goes to mention that the brakes on all 3 are exactly the same and I beg to differ since I own a charger and have driven the others and the chargers is the best hands down.
They also mentioned that the charger drives the best out of all 3 except that the gto handle windy roads very nicely.
While they didnt bash the charger completly they made apoint that its slower then the other 2 but did say for a car thats 4000 lbs its extremely fast and the other point that its ugly compared to the other 2. The charger is equally impressive in looks as the mustang which has a nice design but no way in hell is the gto better looking then either of those 2.
The point to this thread is why are they comparing a the charger to these other 2 race cars. The charger is a little different this time around.
