Modern Muscle Showdown: 2026 Ford Mustang GT vs 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack
The Dodge Charger is back with turbocharged six-cylinder power and standard all-wheel drive, but can it beat the champion Ford Mustang?
The muscle car has felt like an endangered species for some time, but 2026 brings the welcome chance to compare a new offering to the segment’s longest-running player. Dodge launched the new Charger in Daytona EV form, but the brand has since added a much more traditional take powered by a twin-turbocharged inline-six, also offering the segment innovation of all-wheel drive. The obvious point of reference is the evergreen Ford Mustang, which continues to offer the combination of a naturally aspirated V-8, rear-wheel drive, and an available manual gearbox. Which is the more compelling choice in what has become an either-or part of the market?
