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.

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.

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

I'm not comparing it to the original just its current competition as the op states.

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?

190 mph top speed interest you?

Base price of $63,000 Ummm I think I'll take two mustangs please. Or a GT500 with 15 grand left over to mod it.

The CTS-vs are god awful. Whoever designed them did so equipped with only a straight edge ruler...

I voted for the mustang. Challengers are just too big for me, and the camaros look a bit blocky. The pontiac conversions make them look better, but the mustangs in blue look awesome. I'd just as soon buy one of the V6 cars and put a procharger on it than buy a 5.0 car. Might end up costing more than a V8 car in the end but it something different.

And CTS-V's are great. They are one of the few good looking cars that are built today. CTS's stand out, its one good thing Cadillac has done sice the 70's. They dont look like all other GM cars. Besides, every single asian luxury car looks about as exciting as a blade of grass, and the germans aren't far behind. Comparing a CTS V to a mustang cant really be done. You get 50% more car, sizewise and comfort, thats why its 50% more. Its like comparing a S10 to a new Ford Raptor.

Or I can save the 40 grand and build an awesome pro touring '67 cougar or something along those lines and forget new stuff.
