Nice! I was waiting for a real head to head to head of these 3.

That guy has no clue what he's talking about when he was commenting on styling though. I can't believe he didn't point out how insanely bloated and massive the Challenger is. And I love how he criticized the Camaro for looking "almost busy"....ummm, the Mustang is far busier looking. In fact, I really think Ford ruined a beautiful car with this face lift.

Camaro sounded great though, respectable factory numbers too!

Why is the Challenger in the test the 5.7? Did Dodge drop the 6.? litre Hemi?

I still can't make myself like the looks of the Camaro, and the Mustang did look better before the re-style. IMHO...

I'm not too keen on the re style on the Mustang either. Mainly the back end treatment. I think it looked better prior to the "face lift".
The Camaro is a really nice looking car in my opinion, BUT, if they were trying to get the "retro" feel or look then I think they came up short. It does remind me of a first gen but it sure could have been alot closer without making it a clone.
The Dodge.....well, it's a Dodge. LOL!! Ok just messing with you MOPAR guys.
It looks really good I think. From a retro standpoint the look takes me straight to the original in my mind. And with the bigger hemi is a great factory effort. Add a blower, better brakes, better suspension and a few other things and you have one hell of a sweet car! But I am still a Chevy guy and I think if you did the same mods to a new Camaro you'd have a better car than the Mustang or the Challenger.
Theres my 2 cents.

And thank you Todd, I had been looking for some kind of comparo on these cars.

Loved the video. I'am not a mustang fan, but I think the new face lift was a bad idea. On the challanger if they would had used the SRT8 with a sticker of 45,000 it is to close a base C6 corvette and we all know what it would to the other two.

I read somewhere that GM wasn't trying for a retro look, but to make a style that would last for years to come. I don't like it right now, but it may grow on me. Just my 2cents.

I love the styling of the challanger the most of the 3 it looks dead like the old one.The camaro is close but ugly to me.The mustang is fugly i like the look of the mustang couple years ago when they bought the new body out.I didn't like them making fun of the straight axle the mustang uses don't they know if you set up a straight axle right it can and will out handle a irs.If i had to pick one tho it would be the mustang but a used one and slap a blower on it.
