Challenger SRT8 3rd -- 190 pts -- too heavy, awful tires
Just remember: the car you like the best is the best car for you, what reviewers think should just provide guidelines for you own test drive...

When I was a little guy in the mid to late 60s, there was the Mustang vs Camaro arguments and in 20 years, they will still be discussing it. Pedders has just completed our beta test fitting on the last 2 Mustang generations, so we know how the vehicles handle compared to the Zeta platform vehicles. Ford is still very old school with their Mustang suspension. They hide or try to hide their flaws by putting on gorilla sway bars and such. The Camaro suspension is seriously better than Mustang, but does have more body role than Mustang, which is one of those things that I do not like.
So in the eye of the beholder, to me, the Mustang looks good in and out, but the Camaro look awesome which gets me back to my first sentence: in the late 60s, I liked the Camaro look over the Mustang, and we even had a Mustang. So traditions continue.......
