I actually saw a new camaro on the road when I was driving home from school on 91 (CT). It looked to be the v8 version and looked badass. I was shocked when I saw it because I thought it wasnt released yet. To bad I didnt get any pics, but it was silver. The camaro and challenger are 2 of the best retro looking cars, no offense to the mustang, but it has the same design and before.

I think the 2010 mustang looks alot better than before (previous model)

think the camaro is ugly, but the challenger looks like it did in the 70's.

just priced up an SS with the RS package for just under 35k...

seriously tempting... seriously!

wow, i really can't stop looking at that picture now. Gotta see about putting money aside for a downpayment me thinks hahahaha

The new camaro is awesome, shame it weighs so damn much

I personally like all three cars. Ive never before said I would buy a Mustang but I would def rock the new body Style. The Camaro well I'm a little partial.(my first car was a 88 Camaro) So I def like that. The challenger IMO seems to be the most like its former self. BIG,SEXY and FAST.

AMF Racing · 03-23-2009, 01:24 PM

should have put the srt-8 in there. would have worked the camaro......

ndubz · 03-23-2009, 01:27 PM

I really like all of the new muscle cars. the camaro seems to be better than expected, and the mustang is great except for its cross eyed look, and the challenger is just nasty in all ways. Different times though, and the muscle cars have some very interesting competition. I love the performance car spectrum at this time.

big, sexy and full of power... but it doesn't hold up to the competition due to the size.

I love the new camaro... they had to have made some slight changes that pulled the body lines together b/c its much nicer looking than the prototype we were seeing.

That being said, the Mustang GT is a strong contender for me now after reading that they handle fairly well on top of being a quick little pony. I'm going to seriously look into both cars in the next couple months and wait for the "OMG!!!!!" factor to die down a little bit.

To be honest, i've got a strong urge to buy a mustang just so i can put rear window louvers on it...

Ive always been a big Fan of the mustangs.. probably would've gotten one if I didnt get my GTI. Im not a fan of HUGE cars unless its a big luxury car like the A8, so that kinda turns me off of the camaro and Challenger.. plus Id rather have the actual 70's models.

Wow, that's some bang for your buck. Quick auto trans!

hahaha in class were talking about the late 1970's Ford Pinto case about how they would blow up when hit from the rear in accidents and he said...

The 1970's was the worst decade for automobile's

Camaro obviously wins. It always has won in comparison tests for as long as I could remember.
