The Dodge Challenger is described as Dodge’s answer to the Mustang and Camaro.
The Challenger was one of two Chrysler E-body cars, the other being the slightly smaller
Plymouth Barracuda. Both the Challenger and Barracuda were available in a staggering
number of trim and option levels and were intended "to compete against cars like the
Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang, and to do it while offering virtually every engine in
Chrysler's inventory." However they were "a rather late response to the pony car wave
the Ford Mustang had started." The author of a book about "Hemi"-powered muscle cars
says that the Challenger was conceived in the late 1960s as Dodge’s equivalent of the
Plymouth Barracuda, and that the Barracuda was designed to compete against the
Mustang and Camaro. He adds that Chrysler intended the new Dodge as "the most
potent pony car ever," and positioned it "to compete against the Mercury Cougar and
Pontiac Firebird." Similarly, the author of a book about the Chrysler pony-cars notes that
" the Barracuda was intended to compete in the marketplace with the Mustang and
Camaro/Firebird, while the Dodge was to be positioned against the Cougar" and other
more luxury muscle cars
