IMO a V6 doesn't catch my eye neither does a stock SS. A stock 1LE or ZL1 stands out period. You can't mistake either or. The V6/V8 owners who add ZL1 front end, etc Ill just laugh and keep it moving as I don't really care for it. There are some forum members that own a SS that have did some amazing clean mods that look amazing. Then there are some that slap on a ZL1 insert with hash marks, hockey strip decals and every option out there that looks tacky.

As far as Mustangs they get attention. A Boss and GT500 stock looks good and gets attention. I don't really care for Mustangs but if I were to own one it would be a GT500.

Challengers is the same. The only one ill look at or notice is the SRT8. With the new '15 R/T and SRT8, they will have alot of attention. The Scat pack looks great and the SRT8 I'm sure won't disappoint.
Nomatter what trim the camaro or 08-14 Challenger is, they still catchy attention! Because it's not the model it's the car body lines and everything! I love how each trim level has it's own look! 5th Gene was a hit andd was crowned the best looking design for a reason! The new 15 challengers are not better looking IMO ,Than the 08 -14 challengers are!The 13-14 mustang's are attention grabbers, just don't have that wow factor like the camaro or Challenger , to me!

Well, I'm talking about look wise! I'm sure everyone else is too! Because if we were talking about sound than the mustang would be in the conversation! As a stock exhaust sound!

Any female in a muscle car will get attention, lol.

My experience with all three.

2010 Camaro SS- This car received attention mainly from it's cammed rumble. Whenever I pulled into lots, service stations people would come over and ask what was in it. Visually the car got little attention.

2012 Mustang GT- Really no attention at all. I think the problem was the car looked like every other mustang since 2005. I even dropped the car and added aftermarket wheels and it still didn't stand out. At the strip the mustang crowd was always interested.

2012 Challenger SRT8- This car was Header Orange with black stripes. The car was amazing everyone looked at it, old, young, male, female it just would draw attention wherever it was. I even had folks snapping pictures and videos along side of me while driving. This car was a complete package of looks and performance.

Most non-car enthusiasts don't even realize if a Camaro, Challenger or Mustang is a V6 or a V8. Many of these folks just see a "car". I was down in Baltimore this past weekend for UFC 172. In the 1.5-2 hours we walked around the Inner Harbor beforehand, I saw at least eight V6 Camaros. As I said, most people will just say, "Hey, there's a Camaro.". As a car enthusiast, I saw a bunch of V6's. Before you V6 guys get your feathers ruffled (I've read through the entire thread and can see different guys get butt hurt over nothing), I'm not putting down the V6. As a car guy, I'd rather see a ZL1 or something that really grabs my attention.

I would stick to my ss anyday. I get a lot of attention in it. Probably cause of the custom paint and the nice growl from the engine.

I get stares every time I drive..ive received a lot of compliments already this year. The inferno orange with white stripes really pops in the sun. With so many black and silver cars on the road, bright colours makes a huge difference.

Ya think? I already took off the frt bottom air dam because it was too low for normal driving. It only helped at speeds aproaching 200. Not a speed I see very often.
I like the aggressive stance,20s on the rr and 19s on the frt. Slightly higher in the rr. I know that people do lower them though.not me.

Camaro's are like a holes around my area...everyone has one. If we're talking just 2010+ mustangs, then I for sure see way more camaros than 2010+ Mustangs.

But can't say I don't see a ton of mustangs either, I would say it would be more even if the camaro wasnt dead for 8 years.

But the Challenger for sure commands the most attention. Especially in the bright colors,

Maybe we can morph this thread into a count of how many times people have called a Challenger a "Chally" on these several pages. Now if you excuse me, I have to go check out some more pictures of Cammy's and Mustangy's.
