Brian Harper: Were banging our heads against the wall, kid. Tilting at windmills. Spitting into the wind. Trying to objectively analyze two legendary muscle cars (actually, pony cars back in my youth) when their respective fan bases have long ago made up their collective minds is just going to get us in trouble. But we gotta try, dont we? Ford Mustang versus Dodge Challenger. Off and on rivals going back 50 years. Not the ultimate versions of each, maybe not even the most livable for the street, but traditional V8 power and six-speed manual transmissions, the cars augmented by optional performance upgrades that give them superior handling and grip. Stripping it down to the basics, its a fight between tradition and evolution. Whats it going to be?Nick Tragianis: Well, the Mustang GT certainly makes a compelling case for evolution. Starting with a 5.0-litre V8 under the hood making 460 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, and of course, hooked up to a six-speed manual and riding on independent suspension at all four corners, its without a doubt the closest the Mustangs ever been to sports car territory, Shelby GT350 (and GT350R) notwithstanding. It pulls hard, sounds incredible and, most importantly, it can boogie around corners.The key ingredient to this formula is what Ford calls the Performance Package Level Two, or as its known to enthusiasts, the PP2. It adds a laundry list of track-spec trinkets, such as beefier springs and sway bars, more chassis bracing, magnetic dampers, a Torsen limited-slip differential, super-sticky (and wide) Pirelli summer tires, and more. Much more. Too much to list, in fact. All you need to know is, the PP2 is magical. The grip is absolutely unreal, though it makes the Mustang somewhat twitchy near the limit and ride quality suffers. I think this package is a requirement, but something tells me youre not one to agree, old dude. BH: Its a qualified agreement, kid. I love almost everything about PP2, except those meaty P305/30ZR19 Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Ungodly grip in the dry, yes, but with next to no tread, and thus a very limited lifespan. I had to wait to pick up the tester because new tires were being installed, and the car had just 6,000 kilometres on the odo! And unless youve found a perfect stretch of unsullied tarmac, the GT tramlines over every uneven surface. Both hands on the steering wheel here.Interestingly, the Challenger Scat Pack fitted with the Widebody had similar 305-width rubber P305/35ZR20 Pirellis and was nowhere near as frenetic on real roads, though that is clearly not its forte. The big Dodge is definitely Old School muscle car, with blistering straight-line acceleration courtesy of its 485-horsepower, 6.4L V8. Its perfect for the quarter-mile, equipped with line lock, launch assist and an improved launch control setup (hold time is increased to 10 seconds from five for optimal launch and consistent straight-line acceleration). Oh yeah, larger six-piston Brembo front brakes and a stiffer suspension. Still, you feel the difference in the two cars weights the Mustang is 220 kilograms lighter especially on a serious set of twisties (or a track). I have to say, though, the Mustang is no slouch over 1,320 feet, either, not with its own line lock and Drag Strip mode. NT: And therein lies the biggest difference between the two. The Mustang is definitely the better car, if you will the steering, clutch, and shifter action are more precise and nowhere near as heavy as the Challenger. You can pretty much tailor the Mustang to however youre feeling on any particular day with its adjustable drive modes and optional active exhaust system which, by the way, should be standard. And inside, the Mustang may as well be in a completely different league: Your butts positioned far lower to the ground, and the eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system and fully digital instrument cluster add a sense of modernity. There are a few quibbles, though: The optional Recaro seats, particularly on the passenger side, arent friendly to shorter passengers, and forking over the extra $1,800 for these means you lose out on power adjustability, and heating and ventilation. Overall fit-and-finish, too, while reasonably good overall, feels a bit cheap in some areas.But its almost as though the Mustang feels too complicated, too modern for its own good. This is where the Challenger truly comes into its own, indulging the old-school crowd these days far better than the Mustang or Camaro. It seems to be working the design might be more than a decade old, but the Challenger still turns heads and it even outsells the Camaro. But its very much a one-trick pony; the Challenger takes a corner just fine, but whether youre peeling off with the go-fast pedal pinned and slamming through the gears, or just eating up the highway at 120 km/h, the Challenger is happiest going in a straight line. <img

Dodge adds GT muscle-car styling to its AWD Charger
New 2020 Dodge Charger GT all-wheel drive (AWD) features class-exclusive all-wheel-drive system with active transfer case and front-axle disconnect, delivering year-round performance combined with muscle car stylingDodge Dodge is taking its all-wheel-drive family sedan and injecting it with the style and presence of the Charger GT, to make a much more aggressive winter warrior.The AWDs car fascia now mimics that of the GT, with a wider and lower rear splitter, more angular headlights, a functional hood scoop, and projector LED fog lamps.Four 19-inch aluminum wheels replace the standard 17-inch units, wrapped in all-season performance tires (which youll probably want to swap for real snow tires).Around the back is a performance spoiler, and to make sure you dont smash it up, a ParkView rear backup camera and ParkSense park assist. Powering this new Charger GT is FCAs venerable Pentastar V6 engine, which makes 300 horsepower and 264 lb.-ft. of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels thanks to an active transfer case and front-axle disconnect. The rear axle receives the power 100 per cent of the time, until sensors on the front wheels deem the need to engage all-wheel-drive.All-wheel-drive can also be engaged full-time by pushing the Sport button, which also sharpens shifts, and holds the revs higher for more performance-oriented driving.Inside the vehicle are Houndstooth high-bolstered performance seats to keep you in place, as well as a Dark Dub Plate instrument panel. Dodge Performance Pages with an 8.4-inch Uconnect screen is also included.Through the Performance Pages, the driver can activate the Super Track Pak, which enables launch control features, and displays visible performance information such as reaction times, zero-to-60-mph times, a G-force indicator and lap times. For the first time, the Charger GT AWD takes the Charger’s fierce performance exterior and features, including performance hood, fascia, sculpted side sills, spoiler, high-bolstered seats and performance steering wheel with paddle shifters, and mixes it up with all-weather capable all-wheel drive on America’s only four-door muscle car Dodge Traction control can also be turned off completely, for drifting according to FCA.

Quick Spin: 2020 Dodge Journey
2020 Dodge Journey CrossroadJil McIntosh The Dodge Journey is that old guy in the back corner of the accounting department. Hes been around so long that nobody knows when he started, and you keep expecting him to retire or be replaced and yet he soldiers on.Weve been promised an all-new Journey a few times, but the 2020 model is still basically unchanged from when it first hit the pavement in 2009. Youre getting older technology, but youre also getting it at a starting price thats lower than most other three-row crossovers.Although five trim levels were offered for 2019, the Journey shrinks to just two for 2020. Thats usually indicative of impending retirement, and my money is on it being dropped in favour of the upcoming Chrysler Voyager, a bargain-basement version of the Pacifica thats likely to knuckle aside both the Journey and the aging Dodge Grand Caravan. The Journey will now come only as the Canada Value Package and Crossroad. Pricing hasnt been announced for 2020, but for 2019, those two trim levels start at $24,145 and $34,945 respectively. I took the Crossroad for a quick spin at an event earlier this year.Both models are powered by a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine that makes 172 horsepower and 165 lb.-ft. of torque, mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The Journeys previously-optional larger engine, the brilliant 3.6L Pentastar V6 making 283 horsepower, wont be offered. The V6 was required to order all-wheel-drive, so you guessed it the 2020 Journey powers only its front wheels. That keeps the price down, but with AWD so popular among Canadian buyers, its going to further limit the Journeys appeal.The smaller engine has lacklustre acceleration, although it works fine and is fairly quiet once youre up to speed. The steering is light and visibility is good key for a van thats likely to spend a lot of time running errands and fitting into tight parking spots. The Crossroad has a touring suspension, and the ride is smooth; the Canada Value Package, which I didnt drive, is listed as normal-duty and so I expect will let a few more road imperfections up into the cabin. Theres not as much interior space as in a full-size minivan, but the Journeys roomier inside than you might expect for its footprint. Its fine when youre putting small children in the back, although theyll likely outgrow it if you keep the vehicle long enough. Both rows are easy to fold down for a flat cargo floor.The Canada Value Package comes with a few niceties, including air conditioning, keyless entry with push-button start, heated mirrors, a backup camera and park assist, and oddly enough, an auto-dimming rearview mirror. The Crossroad adds 19-inch wheels, LED taillamps, three-zone automatic climate control, a sunroof, and FCAs Uconnect infotainment with an 8.4-inch touchscreen, plus leather upholstery and under-floor storage bins in the second row. There will also be option packages for both, with some of the Crossroads items available on the Canada Value Package, and for the upper trim, heated seats and steering wheel, garage door opener, premium speakers, navigation, and rear-seat DVD system. Connectivity is limited, though, with neither Apple CarPlay nor Android Auto available.The Journeys competitors are better vehicles, and anyone who buys it is shopping on price alone but there are a lot of families on a budget. This Dodge gets them from A to B with decent interior space for a relatively low price, at least at the entry level. How long itll stick around is anyones guess, but for 2020 at least, theres still some life in the Journeys aging

Custom Dodge Challenger gets stolen, wrecked in police chase, still makes it to SEMA
A Dodge Challenger show car with 1,000 horsepower was stolen just before this years SEMA convention and crashed but still managed to make it to the show floor on time.The car was built by Quintin Brothers Auto and Performance in Vermont, who sent it to Las Vegas where the SEMA parts convention is held. The Challenger was reported stolen on October 30, when it was swiped from the overflow parking lot of the Main Street Station Casino.According to local news, Nevada Highway Patrol was at some point dispatched to the parking structure of the Rio Hotel and Casino, where they found the stolen vehicle. In an attempt to stop the thief from leaving, an officer parked in front of the car, but before he could leave his vehicle, the Challenger rammed into the side of his cruiser and proceeded to escape the parking complex.The vehicle was later abandoned at The Boulevard Mall and then given back to its owners to display at the show. We were in shock, we couldnt imagine that anything like this could ever happen, shop co-owner Cole Quintin said. It looks like they were living in the thing, but they only had it for about 11 hours.The front end was smashed in the hit-and-run police chase, making it look more like a drift missile than a straight-line star. Were sure that with 1,000 horsepower it would burn up the rear tires either way. Props to the builders on still showing the car, even though everyone wouldve completely understood if theyd decided not to.

News Roundup: A murdered Dodge Charger, a resurrected Hellcat and a Raptor-rivaling Chevy
Welcome to our weekly round-up of the biggest breaking stories on Driving.ca from this past week. Get caught up and ready to get on with the weekend, because it’s hard keeping pace in a digital traffic jam.Here’s what you missed while you were away.Owner crushes classic Charger, blames no-show buyersA man who ran out of patience with people saying they wanted to buy his 1970 Dodge Charger 500 but then not showing up to a make serious offer has gone to the extreme to put it to a stop. He had the classic car crushed and filmed it. The video, now trending on various Mopar and classic car Facebook pages, shows the forks of a large machine coming down repeatedly on the Charger while the owner looks on in apparent ecstasy, shouting “that’s what you guys f***ing get…everybody wants to be a car guy until it’s time to do car guy shit!” Nice work, man — you sure showed them! We guess?Texas tuner turns Chevy truck into Ford Raptor rivalChevrolet people tired of Ford people rubbing the off-road prowess of the F-150 Raptor in their faces now have a little something to rub back with. The Jackal is Texas-based truck tuner PaxPower’s take on the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, with more power, more lift, more flare, more shock absorption and more more. The tuning kits come in three trims (read about them here) and start at US$15,000, plus the Chevy. YouTubers rebuild burnt-to-crisp Hellcat for US$39,000, but is it safe?The family of volunteers at YouTube’s D.I.Y. Gang managed to spend less than US$40,000 in parts (not to mention the many, many man-hours of labour) rebuilding a totally burnt-out Dodge Challenger Hellcat. You can and should watch the whole thing come together in 14 minutes in this time-lapse video, which includes a test drive with two gleeful screaming children in the back, but you maybe shouldn’t try it at home. Why? Because, despite the car looking and sounding great and moving well, there’s no telling how badly the metals were damaged by the extreme heat of the fire. The value of older classic cars is dipping, while some newer classics soarWhat do older classic cars and real estate in large Canadian cities have in common? This isn’t the setup to a dad joke, but a real question posed by our writer Alyn Edwards, and one it turns out may have kind of a sad answer. Because the commonality between the two “assets” is that, today, some are experiencing a downturn in demand and therefore value. Much like that house on your block that’s been for sale for over a year now, many classic cars are sitting idle with sticker prices nobody is willing to pay. For proof, look no further than the Charger crushed by its owner at the top of this list! Ford to offer full over-the-air updates with Sync upgrade“Have you downloaded the latest update?” That’s the new familiar refrain replacing the classic “have you tried turning it on and off again?” at IT departments around the world, thanks to over-the-air updates that keep software on devices like computers and smartphones running smoothly. Now, Ford is capitalizing on the tech evolution with its Sync system that will update everything from infotainment to the comfort systems to the brakes and engine, fixing issues as your vehicle sits idle. The move will position Ford at the forefront of the legacy automakers in terms of automatic updates — but still a ways behind

Man tired of being low-balled by buyers crushes classic Dodge Charger
Video of the owner of a classic Dodge Charger willfully crushing his car to send a message to prospective buyers that instead have just jerked (him) around is blowing up across Mopar pages and muscle car enthusiast groups on Facebook.1970 Charger 500 Im bringing to the scrap yard today because Im tired of being jerked around, the owner posted October 28 in one group, with a photo of a worn-but-solid-looking black Dodge with a white drivers side door.The man was allegedly asking for US$10,000 for the car, reports TireMeetsRoad.com in a post in one group, he says he was actually asking US$8,500 before lowering it to US$5,000 but instead of offers for around that price, he was, apparently, low-balled, visited by tire-kickers not interested in paying that much for the car, or, mostly, contacted by prospective buyers who just simply not show up. Insurance company Hagerty values a daily-driver condition 1970 Dodge Charger 500 with a 318 V8 at US$27,000 on average. To the dismay of Mopar enthusiasts everywhere, the owner followed up on his threat and had the car crushed at a wrecking yard while a friend filmed it. Beautiful! Thats what you guys f**kin get! the cameraman can be heard shouting as the forks of the tractor first come down on top of the Chargers roof. Everybody wants to be a car guy until its time to do car guy shit!As TireMeetsRoad.com notes, in the video, the engine can be seen still in the car, suggesting the owner hadnt really attempted parting out the Charger. Its not certain if the car still ran or not.The reaction on Facebook was mostly one of disgust over someone putting to waste a classic car or, at the very least, a classic set of fenders, glass, and other good parts because they were obstinate about getting their asking price. However, many also defended the owners actions, saying he is free to do with his property as he sees fit.At the end of the video, the owner dispels any speculation about his motives for crushing the Dodge Charger. He insists he doesnt use drugs, and is not doing it for moneyits strictly to send a message.He even seems to revel in the cars destruction as the tractors forks pierce through the sheet metal: Im gonna sleep good

Watch: This guy rebuilt a Dodge Challenger Hellcat that’d burnt to the ground
What do you do when youre hankering for a Hellcat but only have half the cash? Wed actually recommend against the labour-intensive route taken by YouTube channel D.I.Y GANG, which bought up a 2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat that had been written off after being in a fire and restored it back to better-than-new condition.This isnt the first time the YouTube channel has done a massive re-build like this; their other videos chronicle them putting back together a McLaren 570S, a Jeep Cherokee Trackhawk and an Infiniti G37. The Hellcat, however, is their most ambitious restoration yet.The channels latest video, done time-lapse-style, shows the incredible work involved re-assembling a new car after removing all the ruined parts of the crispy Challenger which was pretty much every part except the floor pan.During the rebuild process, a few upgrades were installed, including an upgraded engine turning out Challenger Demon-esque horsepower numbers; a performance clutch; a custom paint job; and custom wheels.The entire build apparently took about nine months to complete. Even though most of the free labour came from the hands of the YouTubers own family, the build still cost US$39,492.16. Once you factor in all the parts costs and the time it took to do, theres no doubt this build cost more than just buying a brand-new Hellcat.Even though the car was totally rebuilt and painted, we still question the structural properties of the burnt steel. The Hellcat was subjected to the high, high heat of the fire for an extended period of time, which means the mechanical properties of the metals have changed. A loss of strength and stiffness could have very well occurred.At the end of the day, thats why wed not recommend considering this A-for-effort method of Hellcat ownership yourself: when youre building a burnt car, its going to cost more money than a new one, and it will never be as

Could Dodge be building a track-capable Challenger ACR?
The entire automotive world was saddened to learn Dodges crazy V10-powered supercar, the Viper, was going to die in 2017. The Vipers departure left a gap in the companys lineup, too, for a new track-focused sports car.Now, it seems like Dodge might be gearing up to convert one of its mainstay vehicles into a track-ready weapon the Challenger.According to sources speaking to MoparInsiders.com, Dodge could be bringing the ACR (American Club Racer) trim from the Viper back to its Challenger lineup, for the models 50th anniversary.This isnt the first time well have seen an ACR-type take on a Challenger, however. Back in 2011, the brand built a concept vehicle for SEMA featuring lightweight components made from carbon-fibre, plus some neat aero bits. The concept was never made a reality due to manufacturing cost, but now seems just as good a time as any to revitalize the lineup once again, as Dodge did with the Demon in 2018. The Challenger isnt foreign to road racing. Back in the 1970s, it dominated the Trans Am field at the hands of Sam Posey, and its sister car, the Cuda, didnt do too bad, either. Just like in the 70s, a Challenger ACR could do battle with the likes of the Ford Mustang GT350 and the Chevrolet ZL1 1LE.With the Challenger platform getting very old at this point, Dodge will be looking for ways to keep the vehicle interesting until its re-designed in 2023. Whether it will actually happen remains to be seen, but we can already envision a lime-green Challenger with Minilite wheels coming to a track near

Want a 2019 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack Widebody? The competition is all muscle
2019 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack 392 WidebodyChris Balcerak / Driving So, you want the finest-handling Dodge Challenger ever. Well, then you definitely need the new Scat Pack 392 Widebody. Along with the de rigeur muscle car 6.4-litres of 485 horsepower Hemi goodness, the Widebody option adds stiffer springs, SRT-tuned adjustable damping suspension and six-piston Brembo front brakes, not to mention 305/35ZR20 Pirelli PZero tires. In other words, pretty much everything a tuner would throw at a sometimes wayward chassis to keep it between the trees.And it works pretty much as expected. Although the Widebody is also two-tenths of a second quicker through the quarter mile than the standard Scat Pack 392, its in that other, less obvious (if you drive a Dodge Challenger) realm road racing that it really ups the ante. According to FCA, in fact, the Widebody is some two seconds or 12 car lengths quicker per lap around some unnamed race course. I believe it. While hardly Porsche-like it still is a big blunderbuss of a sports car this Challenger actually goes more or less where you steer it, more or less stays on track once you get there, and stops more or less rapidly once youre passed where you meant to be. Its truly competent I wont beggar belief by claiming its extraordinary and it wouldnt be out of place on a curvy road. That might not sound like much of a compliment, but drive an early Challenger and youll appreciate how far Dodge has truly come.Throw in typical Challenger attributes the most faithful replication of the originals profile of any of the current muscle cars probably being primary and a few atypical ones according to J.D. Power, the Challenger is the best built muscle car of them all as well as the best put together Dodge product and you have an unlikely backroads bandit. That said, I am not sure how much of a market there is for a superior steering Challenger. Owners of muscle cars in general and the Challenger in particular dont tend to rank roadholding as a priority in their buying decision. Chevy probably produced the best-handling pony car ever the previous generation Z/28 and it was largely ignored by one and all.Those shopping Challenger tend to get excited about two things in life: Power in which case theyre shopping some form of Hellcat or the look of power, in which case a Dodge salesperson will usher them over to the SXT with its more rational V6 engine and all-wheel-drive powertrain. Im guessing the Widebody variant of the Scat Pack 392 will, despite its relative goodness, end up near the bottom of the order guide. 2020 Chevrolet Camaro Handout / Chevrolet You’re a Chevy guy. Well, then youre shopping Camaro, arent you? Which is a bit of a problem, I suspect, for mainstream muscle car buyers. Oh, the V6 variant is a real gem, the finest handling of all entry-level pony cars, and by far the sweetest-sounding V6 in the segment.After that, however, the Camaro lineup doesnt shine. The Z/28 which I considered near miraculous for turning ill-comportment into Porsche-baiting track worthiness is no more. The SS version has always been kind of milquetoast, and every time that GM ups the ante with the mega-horsepower ZL1, Dodge just slaps a bigger supercharger pulley onto the Hellcat. On top of that, the Camaros Transformer-like styling has always been polarizing. If I specifically wanted a fine-handling V6-powered muscle car, Id be shopping Camaro. Otherwise, not. 2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 Jonathan Yarkony / Driving You have a blue oval tattooed on your right butt cheek. Well, I guess were driving a Mustang, then. If so, and you like driving, please ignore the base EcoBoost model. Oh, if youre a dental hygienist who just wants the look and dont care that it sounds like a fart in the wind, no worries. But if you have any love for internal combustion at its sportiest, move on.That said, if you want the finest handling muscle car available, the Shelby GT350R version of the Stang now holds that mantle. Secure steering, prodigious grip and well-bedded brakes all make the Shelby something of a terror around a track. It wont quite keep up with a Porsche 911, but nothing with a pseudo-1960s profile will come close. A sweet-sounding, flat-plane crank V8engine, enough power 526 horsepower is nothing to sneeze at, even in a straight line and a truly well put-together styling package give it even more authentic bona-fides. Its the best Mustang available. 2018 Dodge Challenger Hellcat2018 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Nick Tragianis / Driving You want muscle. Big muscle. Well then, the strongest steroids to be had will be found at a Dodge dealership, wont they? That would be the Challenger Hellcat and its lunatic fringe sibling, the Hellcat Redeye.Its hard to know what to write a Hellcat. It is, by even the most generous and by generous, I mean truly demented standards both overpowered and undertired. In any circumstances, not picture perfect
