it does make you wonder how many people drive with the right foot down very often.most of the time even people with the 6 cylinder cars dont use what they have.there just isnt enough traffic free space to do so.

That's all true,in there opinion, circa 2011. Don't mod that V-6 mustang so it will go over 125 or the driveshaft will fly apart. 2011 was still the LLT motor, not the updated LFX model and its 323 hp and 155 top speed in the RS version . Buy a Hyndai and two years later. The resale value is down 50-60%. Dodge, need I say more. By the way, wich one did they say. Had the best style? Yes ,the Chevy.

If I were shopping for a new V6 right now, my preference would be a 2015 Camaro. I believe Chevy found the perfect balance between retro & modern design with ample power.
I like the true retro design of the 2015+ Challenger, but it's quite large & the otherwise acceptable power is offset by the heavy weight. As much as I hate to admit it, if I had to choose between the 2015+ Mustang & 2016+ Camaro, I'd probably go with the Mustang... but it would be a difficult decision.

Between the two new pony cars, they are both sweet rides. I think that the performance advantage at all engine choices would leed me towards the Chevy. My wife would definetly go for the mustang. I think you couldn't go wrong either way, it comes down to personal preference. The Dodge is too boxy and heavy. Too straight, not enough flow. It's real nice for what it is, just too much old school, not enough new styling where the Ford and Chevy are more modern with retro touches.

I drove both before I bought my 2014 1LT, and prefer the interior and fit of the Camaro far and above the Mustang. Plus, I just think the Camaro looks meaner...
Besides, my sons (29 & 30) have called Mustangs "me too" cars since they were in their teens.
"What kind of car you got?"
"A Mustang"
"Really? Me too!"

WAY too many Mustangs on the road...
I wanted to stand out

I've previously mentioned, the appearance of the 2016+ Camaro is nice, but not my preference. The 2015+ Mustang is much more in line with the combination of retro & modern that attracts me... but we're talking about a 30 HP difference, thus making the decision a hard one.
