TFL Car: Challenger GT AWD vs Camaro and Mustang in the snow

These guys are more general audience targeting so I go in with that expectation. Dodge flew them out to Portland, ME to test the AWD Challenger GT against the RWD Mustang and Camaro V6. Wait, Challenger GT? Sigh....they are crossing the streams.

They dropped AWD from the R/T so now you can only get it on the V6, which has no balls. In my opinion, the Challenger GT AWD gives you zero muscle car driving experience - really it's just the styling of the car that you are buying.

I also would have liked to see a more earnest attempt in the others to move around in those conditions, including with all traction/stability control turned on, as well as proper snow tires. Rather than depicting them as a sloppy mess (as I am sure Dodge was hoping), they would actually be usable.

I wouldn't have guessed that the V6 Challenger is the most sold configuration.

Also, newsflash - AWD > RWD in snow and ice. Groundbreaking...

I can't wait for the Challenger SS Z-28.

Two words: fleet sales.
