While the Mustang vs. Challenger brawls we often feature involve the current iterations of the muscle heroes, the one we have here is a bit different, since it sees the Mopar machine in its Hellcat form, duking it out with an ex-generation pony - albeit one that has been modded all the way.
The S197-gen Mustang sitting before us started out in life as a GT model, with its 5.0-liter V8 being mated to a six-speed manual.
Well, the engine has left its N/A form behind and now features a Whipple blower, along with a host of supporting mods. And, as a result of the gym visit, the engine now delivers around 730 horsepower to the rear wheels, which means we're talking about well over 800 horses at the crankshaft.
Oh, and yes, the one behind the wheel still has to work the clutch, which wasn't exactly an advantage in the race against the Hellcat, since the latter comes in eight-speed automatic form.
While we're talking about this Dodge, you should know that its owner didn't want to disclose the muscle number of the machine. Even so, Can I Be Frank, the YouTube label that brought us the piece of footage at the bottom of the page, states that the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 features full bolt-on goodies.
Who knows, perhaps the secret side of the Dodge Challenger Hellcat was the element that convinced the YouTuber to choose this as a camera car.
Now, while these pieces of America duked it out on the street, please don't allow such stunts to serve as examples and make sure to visit the drag strip for such fights so you can keep things on the safe side.
In their aim to establish a clear winner, the two drivers raced on more than one occasion and, as mentioned in the title, we can confirm that the aficionados reached their goal.
