TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat rules the roost; meanwhile the entire Challenger lineup gets more retro-modern than ever—all while offering up touring comfort you won't find in the other muscle coupes.

The 2015 Ford Mustang finally makes the rear-end switch—and the SVO's back, at least in spirit.

TCC Likes

Updated retro looks
707-HP Hellcat flagship
Comfortable ride

Pretty new roofline
Turbo four's fuel economy ratings
V-8 is muscular as ever

TCC Dislikes

Poor outward visibility
Awkward back-seat access
Still quite thirsty

Not a striking exterior change
Turbo four sounds artificial and buzzy
V-8 doesn't snarl enough for our taste
