2010 Chevy Camaro SS vs. 2010 Ford Mustang GT, 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T

Man you sparked alot of talk here! I am a mustang guy and always have been and alway will be but I must admit I really like the new camaro. I wasn't real sure till I saw a 2ss in person. I still am not so sure about the interior but the exterior and engine more than make up for that as long as it's comfortable. I am loving that were finally seeing some real competitors for the Mustang again. I am really waiting to see the 400hp 5.0 head to head with the 2ss and SRT then we will have a real race on our hands! The old 4.6 does good considering its handicap of short bore spacing and really small bore but the 5.0 will even the playing field giving us ford guys a real hot rod engine like Chevrolet has had since the LS1 was introduced.

I just hope with the struggling big 3 and the new 39mpg average economy by 2016 standards that Obama hasn't absolutely killed all three of the big 3 not to mention all performance cars in general by himself. I for one will never buy a inport car but I'm afraid I'm one of the few that still believes that supporting our auto makers is the only way to go. Even though other manufacturers build cars here they still don't help our economy like buying American does.

After reading this comparison, a heads-up race would come down to the driver.
0-60 times: *Challenger = 5.1 *Camaro = 4.7 *Mustang = 4.8

MSRP is very close for all three too. You should be able to get the best deal on a Mustang just because Ford is smart enough to build enough cars so dealers actually have cars to sell. I read that Chevy is having trouble filling orders for SS models.
MSRP: *Challenger R/T = $31K *Camaro SS = $31K *Mustang GT= $29K

All three of the cars are good looking and will be fun to drive. They all will have a unique driving experience. I have owned: 96 Trans Am WS-6, 04, 05 & 06 GTO's, 05 Mustang GT, 07 Mustang GT, 99 Cobra & currently a 01 GT (326 RWHP). All these cars are modern muscle, but share very little in driving experience. I will say that the LS-2 engine is just plain crazy powerful. 05-06 GTO's where listed are running 0-60 in 4.7. The only reason these cars didn't post better numbers is poor traction. I had to cut my fenders just to fit 275 rear tire. I would have loved to see what kind of traction I would have got with 305 meats out back. I am not brand loyal, just American loyal. Most people who are into cars are more interested in 0-60 or 1/4 miles times, not HP figures.

^^^^ Ill be honest.....Ive seen more aggresive setups than what you have and they still werent able to break the 300 rwhp mark. The only time I seen it get that high is when MM&FF made a homemade intake that was HUGE looking. Crazy, you must have a beast on your hands to make that much HP in a 99-04 4.6 motor without Forced Induction.

I just got some Polished Stainless STeel Headers along with my Pacesetters Y and Magnaflow Catback..ill be hitting around 345 Rwhp, Cant wait.

CHEVYS rock!!! i have and will always be a chevy man! i do appreciate a good 5.0 pony tho.

That's nice. They're also bankrupt and owned by the US government.
