Charger VS Challenger??? You Decide!!!
Challenger
Well it's a difficult question to answer. The Challenger remained largely unchanged thoughout its run from 1970-74:
the Charger was introduced in 1966 and went through two major re-designs before the unofficial death of the musclecar era in 1973-74.
1966-67 Charger:
The Charger was totally redesigned for 1968. Minor cosmetic changes were made to the grille and taillights of the Charger between 1968 and 1970. The Charger also gained a sister in 1968, the Plymouth RoadRunner.
1968 Charger:
1969 Charger:
Then another totally new design for 1971-74.
1973 Charger:
The E-Body Challenger was slightly smaller and lighter than the B-body Charger, and both cars offered similar engine options. As for the E-bodies I have always preferred the Challenger's sister, the Plymouth Barracuda. And the styling of the Charger, especially the 68 & 69, earns it my vote.

Sesquipedalian -- a really cool word. It means long-winded, polysyllabic, or verbose. See the word describes itself...isn't that neat?

ummmmm i voted the charger cause i love it almost as much as the HEMI Cuda ....i like the fact of a 440 ci engine ....mind you, i know nothing about the challenger
I choose the Charger ... best looking musclecar ever (IMHO)
Chargers and Challengers were available with a full line of engines .... 225cid slant six, 318, 340(later replaced by the 360), 383, 440, 440 6-pak and the revered 426 Hemi.
Challenger, definately. Incredible styling and power. Awesome engine lineup from Slant 6 to Hemi, and the '70 Challenger T/A was just wild!

There's no replacement for displacement.
i voted charger because it set a benchmark for large muscle cars. the challenger is still a great car IMO but its effect wasnt as profound upon the auto industry.
My understanding ... but not from personal experience unfortunately, is the Challenger T/A and its sister the AAR 'Cuda's did not perform as well as expected, for those who don't know these cars were factory built 340CID V8's with a 3x2 barrel set-up (known as six-paks)with a total of around 1150 cfm (this is a best guess from memory). This was apparently way to much carburation for the 340 ... it worked well on the track but not so well on the street.Originally Posted by HemiCuda500
I believe there were approx. 2400 of each (AAR 'Cuda and Challenger T/A) made in 1970, really nice examples sell for $40,000 - $60,000 U.S.
As a side note, there was a similar set-up available for the 440 V8's that used different (larger) carbs with a total of 1350 cfm (again a memory figure) and this set-up worked very well.
