Ford Mustang vs Dodge Challenger Mechanicsburg PA

The 2014 Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger have comparable horsepower, but that's where the similarities end. Your Ford dealer in Mechanicsburg, PA carries the classic American muscle car, the Ford Mustang. 

Here's what you should know about both vehicles:

The 2014 Ford Mustang GT Premium's comfort features for the interior are ambient lighting, a navigation system with SiriusXM traffic and travel link, sun visors with a multi-purpose storage system and illuminated vanity mirrors, tilt leather-wrapped steering wheel, and heated front leather sports seats. The powerful engine is a 5.0L V8.

In comparison, the 2014 Dodge Challenger has an equally "muscular" body but differs in its technical attributes. It has Unconnect with voice command, which helps you send and receive calls. This touchscreen device also includes real-time traffic updates and GPS travel navigation. As far as seating, it offers enough room for five adults. Another comfort element is the Automatic Temperature Control, which only needs to be set once. Like the Mustang, the Challenger has heated front seats, but they're not leather, only leather-trimmed.  It also includes SiriusXM to listen to on your way to work.

Both cars offer packages. Depending on what you're looking for, each provides a high level of comfort, style, and cutting-edge technology. The Ford Mustang at Fred Beans offers a Comfort, Electronics, Brembo Brake, and GT and GT Track packages. The Dodge Challenger has the Challenger Blacktop Appearance, R/T Redline Appearance, Challenger Super Sport Group, and Challenger Sinister Super Sport Group packages. 

In terms of pricing, the Ford Mustang edges out the Challenger by almost $10,000, with a starting price around $35,000. However, Fred Beans does sell new and used vehicles, so you might be able to get a deal on one of these premium cars. The Challenger starts at around $26,000. There's also the option to customize or "build" your own vehicle, which could save you a few dollars. The Ford site turns your car-building experience into a game by letting you race it online after you build it. Doing this not only gives you an idea of how the vehicle looks while in motion, but it demonstrates the car's speed and power. The Dodge site lets you build a vehicle and see if it is available in your area. 

You can't go wrong with either of these American classics. Both are sturdy muscle cars that have powerful engines. If you're trying to save a little money, the Dodge is your best bet. However, if you're not on a budget, the classic Mustang just might be the car for you.
