These two cars are the best of the NEW Muscle Cars in my opinion. I think they need to step up their V6 program a little, but as to the looks, the Challenger and Camaro both his the mark. The Mustang 2010/2011, is ho hum at best in my eyes. Had my Camaro over near the Ford Dealer the other day and pulled up alongside the new Mustang. My Camaro still looks better from every angle. That new Mustang rear end does nothing for me.

Good Luck with Both Cars!

Love that shade of orange, wish the Camaro's version was closer to that.

yes, hemi orange, up until about 3 weeks ago I HATED this color, but then I saw a pic of it with the ground affects painted orange to match the car vs. the cheapo black, and the guy pulled off the bs CF stripes off the hood and put on white ones....so I'm trying to source new black pieces right now, as the previous owner put that shiny oil crap on there and the paint guy won't guarantee the paint no peeling off later, and I'm now thinking about cervini's 6" tall rear wing...reminds me of the 93 IROC Z 3 box spoiler....I loved the look of the 93' Z wing....soo hot

And don't worry about the wifes V6 game, got enough engine mods coming home soon to put it just shy of the auto SS v8 hp range, I'm sure it won't make V8 torque, but HP it'll be up there!

thanks for the compliments guys

Both of these cars have a look that really personifies the modern muscle car era. There are probably a lot of wives in your neighborhood that don't like you, since their husbands now are talking about how much they want to get rid of the minivan in exchange for something with a little more punch. You guys are lucky to have a spouse with such good taste!

you gotta remember that its all a matter of opinion. i know a lot of people who hate the camaro back end as well. including my friend who has a 2ss/rs. he always says " i hate the back and the hips but the rest of the car makes up for it".

im sure plenty of mustang drivers out there say the same thing about their rides.

IDK man. A lot of folks don't like the back of the 2010 Mustang but I think it can look great with the right accents such as:

1. Optional OEM spoiler (not the stock GT spoiler)
2. Trunk lid insert

Changes the entire look of the rear of the car for me and I like it.
