I'm sure you mean Challanger 2, the most heavily armoured Western tank ever, which can out run and out manoeuvre a Range Rover Sport, as well as being equiped with Dorchester Armour, which only the Abram A1 has (and not to as good effect), otherwise. But I'll let you off.
I myself can't see the point of a car as big as a four by four, other than to block up the roads when taking the children to school. I'm not a big fan of millitary things, anyway.
If you want something to carry your shopping, buy a car with a large boot: you don't need to buy a four by four for anything like that.
Edit: I forgot to mention that Challanger 2 can brew tea.
Don't be dissin' the Abrams.
Challenger 2 / M1 Abrams
Engine: 1200HP / 1500 HP
Top Speed: 59Km/h / 72Km/H
Armament: 120MM Rifled gun / 120MM Smoothbore Gun
Armor: Chobham 2 / Chobham 2 (Although the compositions are likely different)
Range (Driving): 450Km / 465Km
Armour Combat Rating: 0 losses vs. Enemy Armour / 0 losses vs. Enemy Armour
With the advent of the M1A2-SEP, the electronics systems in both are on the same level. Although brewing tea definately goes to the Challenger ;)
These are minor differences, though (especially in the SEP), so I'd expect that it would be a very close armour battle between both of them. I'd expect a U.S. tank would win though, since we've simply seen more armour combat in recent years than the United Kingdom.
