Around here you see mostly Camaros, the occasional 2010+ Mustang, and then Challengers but mostly V6s. There's a few R/Ts, but hardly any SRT8s.

Of course I see one of each all the time, my wife has a 2009 R/T and her brother has an RS Camaro.

Now that's a nice family portrait right there!

I would say that I see more Camaros than anything else. Like the OP, I feel like I am in an exclusive club. So far, I have seen maybe a dozen '10+ v6s but maybe 6 '10+ GTs at most.

Yep, I agree with this. My area also tends to favor GM over Ford whether it be trucks or cars, but I definitely see far more Camaros than I do new styled mustangs. I've only seen 2 other 5.0s and a handful of 2010+ V6s. I like it though, it's nice because people really look and take notice since there isn't a constant flood of Mustangs. 'Specially ones that are as sexy as mine of course

I like all three cars though, Challenger, Camaro and Mustang. If I bought only on looks I'd probably have a Challenger R/T in my garage. Those things are really retro and I think it's beautiful. Then again I also like going fast and a boat doesn't facilitate that.

My town is military (Camp Lejeune is here) so quite a few Camaros and Challengers running around. Way more Mustangs though.

About the only good thing about living here.....

Yep, here on base there is a lot of all three, you're not gonna pass even one parking lot without one of the three being in it.

Similar here. I can't leave my house or even go on a long road trip with the family without seeing a staggeringly large number of Camaros. Breaks my heart, I find the new ones to be one ugly mess (in my opinion ). But I'm not seeing any fewer new Mustangs. See about as many Challengers as Mustangs, don't mind that, they are beautiful to look at as well!

personally the only other muscle car id drive is the challenger. not a fan of the new camaros. there ok to look at. but the interior is horrible.

the challenger is just outright gorgeous. i seriously want one. if i had the money for it id have an srt8 in my garage alongside a 12 boss. id probably drive the srt8 more as a daily driver then i would the boss. it would be the weekend car.

I see Camaros all over followed by Chargers. I mostly see 2010 Mustangs or V6's. Seen only 4-5 5.0's.
