Hahahaha looks like its doing the "i need posi" one wheel burnout.
That lower fascia looks way too big... as much as i liked the car originally, the more i look at it the more i think the whole thing just looks too big.

I thought the Challenger has a limited slip diff, perhaps they need to make it a bit more, well, limited.
Of course, once you let off the brakes rather than grinding your tires into dust, the difference between a V6 Stang will become a bit more apparent.

Back in the '70s, all the pony cars were roughly the same size (although some may argue this). With corporate mandates to use existing platforms for new models, you will see porky ponycars, or should I say Clydesdales.

That's the biggest problem with this car, it's too big.

their existing full size car platform. We'd be driving Mustangs built on Crown Victoria chassis!

The new Challenger should be held up as an example of how to go from concept car to production car.
They even improved it.
It's a magnificent looking beast, only let down by a run-of-the-mill parts bin interior and too much weight, though I'm not sure much could be done about the latter while using the 300 chassis (which reduced development costs and time to production).
