The earth-rotating Challenger Hellcat takes on the refined, yet sophisticated 2015 Mustang GT – and they both take on the track slayer Z/28. This is an interesting comparison. The Hellcat is a straight line rocket-ship, while the Z/28 was designed for going fast at the track day – and the new Mustang GT falls somewhere in between.

We were thoroughly surprised that the Mustang GT was able to edge out the Hellcat on the road-course. I mean, the Mustang is down an entire 270 HP on the Hellcat…that’s a hell of a lot of power to make up.

While we think the Mustang GT to Z/28 comparison is a bit unfair, we are still impressed with the ability of the GT – and we are really looking forward to seeing what the upcoming GT350 can do on track. Stay tuned.
