I just finished reading the print version of the June 2009 Motor Trend article comparing the Mustang vs Camaro vs Challenger.

Very interesting, even though the Camaro was considered best by a hair over the Mustang.

The Mustang had the Track Pak installed and was the best overall on handling in spite of the solid rear axle.

Here is the link to the web article http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/..._gt/index.html

That's what 600 lbs does in comparison to a well designed solid axle.

I was driving the other day and a new Challenger pulled along side. That car is a boat! Ridiculously large. Its nice looking but come on Chrysler...what were you thinking? I've yet to see a Camaro outside of a car show (where it sat behind a rope).

I read it too and was kind of amazed the Mustang did so well. Now if Ford will add some HP Mustang will be #1. At first I thought the Camaro was pretty nice looking but the more I see it the stranger it looks to me. The Challenger has always been a heavy pony car right from the start in the 70s.

I've seen the new Camaro, Challenger, and 2010 Stang on the road already. The Challenger looks good, but it's way too large. The Camaro and Stang both look really good on the road. The new rear end on the Stang is still having to grow on me, though.

I went and kicked the tires on the New Camaro about 2 weeks ago and I have to say Government Motors (a.k.a. GM) dangled this carrot in front of us for way to long and they did not deliver IMO. If you were to sit inside a 300, Magnum, Charger they are all the same car. Chrysler has a nice car in the 300 but not a performance car, though I am so impressed with the "light weight" non-street drag performance Charger model at something like 3400 lbs :/

Maybe I am playing the favorite side here but I think the Camaro and Challenger will carry nice street status but zero credit on the track.

With the LS3 under the hood, I have a hard time seeing the Camaro end up with zero track cred. Now, I do bet that you see a lot of em with a Ford rear end...

Good article, but it is very predictable that the newest vehicle will always win.

I to was impressed at how well the Mustang did. Maybe there will be an IRS in a future Mustang.

The new Camaro is a good idea, but implemented poorly. The windows design is ridiculous. The side windows are so short it's uncomfortable to put em down and put your arm out and drive. How did the GM engineers screw that up? I love my stang!
