Ford and Chevrolet have both recently redesigned their muscle cars, making the Dodge Challenger feel even more like a relic than its looks suggest it is.
That said, neither the Ford nor the Chevrolet offer the capacious interior or the same degree of swagger as the Challenger.
The Nissan 370Z is similarly dated, but it's a lot lighter and more precise—even though it definitely lacks the Dodge's personality.
Opt for a higher-spec Challenger like an SRT 392 and you're approaching European performance coupe territory.
The BMW M4 is more polished in every way even though it comes across feeling a little light on emotion compared to the Challenger.
The Audi S5 delivers a totally different take on performance style inside and out, but it makes an interesting rival to the Challenger.
