How can this be? Alot of you have already probably read, but in the October issue of Road & Track in the "Pony Express!" article they compare the Mustang GT with track package, the Challenger R/T (which I get tired of them comparing to and not the SRT), and the Camaro SS on a long trip across part of the US on the former Pony Express.

In exterior styling based out of 15 points, the Mustang receives 15.0, the Challenger 14.5 and the Camaro a ridiculous 11.2. I could not disagree more, the exterior styling of the Camaro is what makes heads turn and is an amazing design, sleek, sexy lines, agressive stance, etc. etc. etc. This is what got people so interested in it in the first place. Someone tell me if using the Challenger in Transformers would have had the same effect--i don't think so. How can they give the boat-like, massive, droopy eyed Challenger nearly 15 out of 15 and the Mustang with its depressed front end, feminine-esque styling and weird tail lights a 15.

One of the drivers did admit that he was in the minority on the styling because everywhere they went, the Camaro SS was getting the looks and the raves, not the other two in the peanut gallery.

At least they gave the engine and brakes 20 out of 20 each, and were able to get a 4.6 sprint to 60 and 12.9 quarter!
