poor ford, they had a good thing going 05-09, shouldve just kept the body style and upped the power, the new rear end looks rice, and 315 with the power of those 2 is pathetic.

Maybe... but the CAMARO is plain U-G-L-Y !...UUUGH! I'd still rather have ONE '10 Mustang GT rather than TWO of those! The Challenger is very nice too...but I'd still take the Mustang.

The "Camero" SS starts at $40K. They can keep it. I can get an R/T Challenger for around $30k and it's by far the best looking of the three.

Matter of taste I guess...but NOT necessarily a fact.

Your right,I think the challenger rules as the closest look of the old school...Everyone has there own taste,not everyone has good taste like me tho even my hard core mustang friend said the mustang is BUTT ugly,meaning the rear of it..

That's what i got too. Good price if this is the case....

I like the Challenger better though, but would probably still end up with the Camaro

Of the three, I think I would go for the Challenger. Have seen a couple on the street around here in the past week and they are really nice. Camaro looks like crap from the back. Mustang doesn't do anything for me.

I agree with the rear looks like crap on the camaro. From a short distance it appears to be the front end of a 79 firebird after it had been rear ended.
