      As opposed to the Chevrolet you can't see out of, or the bloated cow that is the Challenger. I'd still take my chances with the Mustang.

        the challenger is a dissapointment in my book as well. but i just havent heard a lot of positives on the new 5.0. yeah you can mod it all you want and put up power numbers but i keep seeing stuff about the reliability that doesnt look positive. you may not be able to see out of the camaro but you dont have to when your ahead of everyone else. lol.

          If I were to buy a mustang, bang for your buck I would get the V6... 300hp and 30mpg with a sweet looking car... sign me up. Out of the choice here, i've picked the Mustang 5.0. Until they come out with a v6 EcoBoost Stang!!?!?!?! I wish.

          no race car? becuz homeowner...

            I'll agree with that! I sat in one at the stealership the other day, and you really can't see much at all over your shoulders in that car. Prolly not as bad as the 1970's fastback mustangs, but still really bad.

              Yup no headroom at all in that thing, I could never actually own one. The challenger I love the way it looks but its so overweight.

                And it wasn't in original form? I was always under the impression those things were tanks back in the day, comparatively speaking.

                At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

                    CTS-V would have been in if it's price tag wasn't almost double what the mustang is..And its not really a muscle car...

                      I'd have to go with a Challenger. My instructor in college had one and it was pretty much b.a. Nice riding car, and plenty of power. I may not be a GM guy, but the Camaros with the Firebird and Trans Am kits were pretty much sexy.

                        i vote none of the above. But if forced to pick one the camaro ss would be my choice. there pretty badass looking and we all know gm can make a good engine.

                          Definitely the camaro with either of the conversions.

                            The main problem with the V6 Mustangs is that its a lot of car for that engine.

                            305 horsepower, yes.. but their Torque numbers are tiny compared to even a mustang GT from 99-04. If I wanted a vehicle that could look nice and get my great MPG though, I agree 100%.

                            If I could choose, I would go Challenger. Mainly because I feel they were the ones who nailed the whole "Retro" look off the bat. Its literally a box... and thats what they were. The interior could use some more bedazzle, but the car itself looks amazing.

                              the thing i find funniest is when ford guys rip on the LSX

                              the LSX is the best small block ford ever made

                                  I got mad respect for the LSX engine. Hell, a LS1 walks on my DOHC 4.6 😞

                                        not a muscle car, and also not in this price range. Is it so hard to just pick from the choices and NOT come up with your own off the wall idea?
