That's a cool idea and all, but clearly one buys a car because one desires to drive them on roads and have some sort of maneuverability. This vehicle, while not really playing either side, is rugged and versatile and should be able to traverse any type of rubble that may block main roadways if one needed to leave or enter an area quickly.

Dude if you want a sports car you could get a loving Maserati with the kind of money you're looking at spending. What's more baller? A salvage poorly repainted '06 Charger, or a Maserati???

Came to the thread to post exactly this.
Let's look closer at your choices:
2007 Ford Mustang Base
Pros
- You can buy it in convertible to take your grandkids out for ice cream on Sunday afternoons.
- Comes in sweet cucumber green from factory to match your purse.
- To the regular folks it looks like you drive a Mustang! (Might be a con though)
- Not salvaged
Cons
- v6 Secretary Special
- 4.0 liter engine putting out roughly 200 horses which feels like 160 at the wheels. Torque non existent.
- To the regular folks it looks like you drive a Mustang! (Meaning you're an rear end in a top hat)
- Can't even join the only club that will accept you since other Mustang owners want no part of that terrible car.
- Will get smoked by 2012+ Toyota Camrys.
- With 148k on the dash it's about 50k miles from self destructing. I know you won't keep up with proper maintenance to keep this from happening as you have a drug habit.
2006 Dodge Charger
Pros
- Only thing that separates a v6 and the Hemi is a R/T badge and a few Hemi badges. You can buy some on Ebay pretty cheap. Bonus points if you attach them lopsidedly. Easy 150+ HP gain.
- 4 doors so you can take even more grandkids out for ice cream on Sunday afternoons.
- Israeli paint job! (If you live in a Jewish neighborhood)
Cons
- 4200 lb. tank powered by a 2.8 mid-00's Dodge engine (or the 3.5 which is even more failure prone than the 2.8 shitheap).
- Slow.
- No resale value as it's a salvage v6.
- Terribly donked out.
- Will get smoked by 2012+ Toyota Camrys.
- One of the worst car interiors of all time.
- Israeli paint job! (If you live in an Arabic neighborhood)
Either of those cars is a fine choice if don't mind driving a pseudo muscle car that will get smoked by 90% of new Hondas, Toyotas and Hyundais.
For the similar money ($10k-$12k) you can buy the following if you're not too hasty:
- 06-10 Mustang GT with under 100k miles.
- 06-10 Charger R/T with under 100k miles.
- 99-04 SVT Cobra
- Subaru WRX
- Mitsubishi EVO
- Mazda RX-8
- Infiniti G35 (G37 if you look hard enough)
- BMW e36 M3
- BMW 335i
- BMW 545i or 550i
- Mercedes Benz CLK 500
C'mon brah.
Question: Are you buying cash or do you have to go somewhere you can get financing?
