TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Dodge Challenger delivers macho retro looks in anything from a relaxed boulevard cruiser to a dragstrip specialist to a monster horsepower muscle machine.

The 2019 Ford Mustang finally gets it: Muscle-car power doesn’t have to come with muscle-car handling compromises.

TCC Likes

Undeniable swagger
Depth and breadth of lineup
A factory drag racer!

The Bullitt is back
Bristles with today’s best tech
Adaptive suspension firms up ride and handling

TCC Dislikes

Light on safety tech
Not nearly as sporty as some competitors
Showing its age

Having to confess to driving a 4-cylinder
Cockpit needs a re-wrap
Automatic emergency braking still costs extra
