there's an R/T at my friend's apartment building. i see it all the time when i visit her. it definitely ain't a bad-looking car at all, but my SS will smoke the crap out of it!

ps - that pic is awesome! did you see the video? the GM guy chewed those guys out for showing up with them!

eh, honestly the challenger is the only styling that hit the nail on the head. the other two suffer in one way or another but aren't bad lookers either

Wow, it's no surprise that there is a definite bias against the Mustang on this board and rightly so considering it is a site dedicated to a Camaro model. However, there are also a lot of people in denial about the fact that the Gen5 Camaro and Dodge Challenger would, in all likely hood, not even be a reality had Ford not nailed the S197 Mustang when it was introduced as a 2005 model.

I my own opinion, I think the Camaro, Mustang and Challenger all have their pro's and con's and each have nuances in their styling that are going to cause certain people to love or hate them. I'm a fan of all three cars and each brings to the table something a little different from the other.

I think the exterior styling on the Camaro is great. I think Mopar would have a hard time designing a car that was more of a nod at the past than the Challenger and the Mustang is in the process of being a car that is less a tribute to it's '60's heyday and more of a modern performence car.

Calling the Mustang garbage or the Challenger a tank is not going to make anyone's choice in the Camaro seem better other than in that individual's own mind. If bashing other makes models makes you feel better about the car you have bought/want to buy, maybe your self-confidence and/or self-esteem could use some work.

I, for one, can't wait to see all of them on the road.

mustangs blow. i respect mustangs as a threat, but the challenger is better, and the camaro is sooooo much better tht there isnt even a comparison, especially since the v6 camaro gets almost as much hp as the new 'stang gt. thts just pathetic on fords part. then again, FORD:Fix Or Repair Daily. and as for the styling, mustangs have looked almost exactly the same(except for wen they changed the grill in 05) since 1994. but they just look like shit. i know, im prejudiced, but i cant help it ford just SUCKS toooo badly.

I think that's why he told you to GTFO right after saying it to the post you quoted for truth and ergo endorsed.

Well the Camaro was discontinued with plans of being brought back from the very begining. Fbodfather said it himself.
and as for biases. I've been to the Mustang forums and yes they are very biased towards their car just like every other forum. However, I heard many of them say that they hate the new style of the Mustang so it's not just opinion. Even some hardcore Mustang fanboys agree with us.
As for the Challenger, I've said it before. They tried to re-create the Challenger from the 60's and 70's and they succeeded.
Too bad when they did this they used the copy and paste tool and made an exact recreation instead of making it look like a better newer model.
