What sounds better, my Charger R/T or Sportster 1200? EDIT:Quick Charger run!

I made a little video comparing the sound of the 1969 Charger with all 440 cubic inches uncorked and the 2005 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 with cycle shack mufflers.

Please rate and comment, I know it may be a little bias on this board but you never know!

EDIT

Because you guys wanted a quick video of the charger at WOT, here it is:
Remember the car still has to make due with a 2.77 rear gear, which explains why the acceleration is so slow.

I like the rumble of a good old fashioned V8 so I guess I am biased to the Charger.

TexasStroker

As the comment stated, "Charger...no doubt"

That's just my opinion, but I don't think Ghoste and I will be alone in this judgment  ;D

Not a big fan of those "Screamin' Eagle", stupidly loud Harley's...I like a nice sounding bike with baffles in the mufflers..



Charger, gets my vote hands down.

Thank you, The funny thing is I posted the exact same topic at the Harley forums just to cross reference what they thought, and every one has picked the Charger over the Sportster.

What videos were you looking for, I have a couple of burnouts, but honestly I can't afford to put new tires on it every summer. The car is in a weird transition point were it has a huge motor but not a beefed up rear end to handle the power, so any serious running may put it out of commission. I only have a 2.77 rear drive ratio so drag racing would boar you to death, and with drum brakes and no sway bars auto cross would be more of a laugh than amazement. But I'm open to anything, so whatever you want I'm willing to try.

I have never been a Harley fan so I have to say I like the Charger better. As others have said, there is nothing quite like the sound of an uncorked Mopar big block.

I agree, especially since you hear one around here every 5 minutes day and night anymore. Charger on the other hand sounds sweet

I can't stand the sound of harley. I don't even have to listen to know the Charger sounds better.
