by Muscle Car Fan

When Dodge announced the Charger was going fully electric, muscle car fans revolted online — so Edmunds’ Brian Wong put the new Charger Daytona Scat Pack head-to-head against the outgoing Challenger Scat Pack to settle it properly.

It’s the most honest look yet at what “muscle car” means in an electric era. Watch to see which one Edmunds actually recommends.
