Tech progress aside, there are plenty of ways in which modern muscle cars differ from the ones that kickstarted the genre over five decades ago: from the fact that superchargers are available straight from the showroom these days, to various body style changes. However, the good old rivalries are very much alive, with the race we have here, which involves a Ford Mustang GT and a Dodge Charger Hellcat, being an example as good as any.

As far as the Mopar team is concerned, we're dealing with a Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody. The muscle sedan came to the fight in factory form, which means the 6.2-liter HEMI under the hood works with a blower to deliver 707 hp. And, unlike its two-door sibling, the Charger Hellcat only comes in eight-speed auto form.
