Which new muscle car is your favorite?

Now that the Camaro is officially official, it joins the Challenger and the Mustang in a revival of the two door muscle car wars.

Of the three, which one is your favorite? I listed specs of the top performance trims of each model.

Here are the specs/pics of the three cars in question:


2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8
Engine: 6.1 liter V8 with 425hp/420tq
Weight: 4041lbs
Transmission: 6spd manual or 5spd auto
MSRP: $37,995




2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS
Engine: 6.2 liter V8 with 420hp/408tq
Weight: 3860lbs
Transmission: 6spd manual or 6spd auto
MSRP: $35,000+ (est)




2009 Ford Mustang GT
Engine: 4.6 liter V8 with 300hp/320tq
Weight: 3356lbs
Transmission: 5spd manual or 5spd auto
MSRP: $26,775

camaro, even though they all have a retro look, the 6cyl stangs just ruin the model for me.

But damn, the mustang sure is the light weight here.

I sure hope the firebird comes back, f-body was my first car.

I think they're all hideous. Chevy is about 5 years late for the Camaro in the retro style.

Hopefully they don't water the camaro down... The motor is nuts with a few basic mods. I'm debating getting the new gxp g8 with the same LS3.

Cheers!
