Coming back and watching this... Really glad I went with my 11 GT over the others.. Still am lost as to how on Gods green earth this guy picked the Challenger over the Camaro in terms of anything other than looks for 2nd place. If I had the $ I'd own all 3. Not a huge fan of the 15-17 models of any of these.

I've always been an American muscle lover. When it came down to me buying my very first new muscle car I test drove them all. I agree with this video in that I had a hard time with visibility out of the camaro. The challenger was nice to drive but a bit too fat for me. The mustang felt great and I had fun driving it and happy to be owning one now! But nothing against the other two. Long live american muscle!

I'm a fan of all American Muscle Cars. I hate that Chev/Dodge/Ford fans bash each other when we should stick together against overpriced/overrated European/Ricer cars. I owned a 2005 Dodge Charger RT which I loved the looks (yes even if they fcked it up with 4 doors) but it felt too big and would have loved the SRT8. Then I bought a 96 Camaro Z28 which was very quick, had a mean sound but it felt like it was falling apart (rattling) and sometimes scary fishtailing around corners. I now own a 2005 Mustang GT with several mods and I love it although I'm currently having fuel pump issues. If you ask me I'd proudly take any of these 3 cars and love the fact that they have their own identity and looks. To each their own I say but I respect all 3 makes.

The Hellcat would get embarrassed at everything but the 1/4 mile(and still not win by much), and the GT500 out lapped the ZL1 in terms of best overall lap, but the Camaro was better in terms of endurance/consistency over time. I like all 3, but those Challengers are pigs. I personally want to trade my GT for a GT500, waiting to see if they make one in 2018 or 19 before settling on a 350.

Not really fair. 2010 Challenger with a 6.1 vs. the new 20115.0 Coyote.......try the 2011 392 SRT8 instead. I'd still take the Mustang. Too bad the Challenger is "frozen in time". The R/T 5.7 has the same power in 2020 as it did in 2008....that's 12 YEARS stuck at 375hp. Not one hp more. The Mustang GT has had 5 power increases since then. 300hp in 2008, 315 in 2010, 412 in 2011, 420 in 2013, 435 in 2015 and 470hp in 2018.

The Mustang is the much-loved underdog, pulling out consistent victories despite having less power and an antiquated live axel.

Then the Mustang got the 5.0 and more reviews came. "Let's pit the best of the three against each other again for a rematch! Ford wins! Yeah!" Then the Challenger got the 392 engine, and then the reviews. "Dodge did... something to one of their cars. The fat one with the retro name, maybe." No comparisons with the 392, from anybody!

The Tbirds and Cougars handled like luxury sedans while the Cobras only had marginally better handling than the GT. IRS is meant to give added handling while giving added comfort, but it truly fails to deliver on either account.

It doesn't matter how tall you are since you can adjust the height of the seats, but the windows are just ridiculously narrow all around and the A-pillars are obnoxiously thick..just like the steering wheel.. If you have the power seats, your head will literally hit the roof in the Camaro if you're over 6'2ish, and that's with the seat all the way down.
