The '08 Bullitt has a curb weight of 3590, the R/T weighs in at 4040.

So about 450 pounds lighter, but the R/T makes up for the weight difference with more horsepower and better access to it at higher speeds/RPMs. Car and Driver found them to be about the same.

As quoted by MotorTrend, the Challenger R/T weighs "4154 lbs"


which would mean the Bullit has a 600lb+ advantage.

I didnt think it weighed that much, but ive never heard it quoted at less than 4100lbs



Interesting line from the Article... "We also fully expect history to repeat itself, with the Challenger as the biggest and best-looking of the neo-ponies being outperformed by the Camaro and outsold by the Mustang."

a better comparison would be to the new 2010 mustang, way better performance #, at better price.
