I think the two of you are dancing around the same tree, just in different directions. ford made the rustang as light as it could (before the 71 monster barge, or was it 70) as the motors were not as good as Mopar and GM. The Mopars were notorously heavy and well built to stand up to the heavy engines and drivelines. The 727 Torqueflight behind a 426 Hemi is much stronger then a C4 equipped 428 SCJ. The Charger was also a heavy midsize car (B body) compared to the rustang. A Cuda/Challenger body was lighter then the Charger. It's like comparing a Camaro to a Chevelle/4-4-2/Gran Sport.
