Together at Last: Mustang, Challenger and Camaro

By Rob Einaudi

Editor-in-Chief

Here they are, parked together in front the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego. Ok, maybe I’m biased, but to me it looks like the Challenger is about to steal the Mustang and Camaro’s lunch money. What do you think? See the rest of the pics at Jalopnik.

the Camaro is definatley the best looking of all, the Challenger looks good from the front but from the side…. maybe its just me but it looks boring yawn! (not that you can see the side in this pic but i saw one the other day and was very disappointed) i have my order in for a 2009 Camaro SS wouldnt even consider any of those other wannabe sport cars, mustangs are boring they have been around for a while challenger is ungly as f#ck and the Camaro kicks ass all around!!!!

After seeing and reading some of these comments its all ignorance to me and ppl trying to impress thats it..Mustang is the best.

The best showdown will be to put all top lined models of the three as follow

2009 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 at 420hp 6.1L Hemi 8cyl. MT 6 Speed MSRP $40000

2009 Ford Shelby GT500 KR(King of the Road) 540hp 5.4L 8cyl. Supercharged MT 6 speed(not including the super snake package that rounds it up to 600-725hp) MSRP $42000(price for package $27995 plus base price)

2009 Chevy Camaro SS 450hp Maybe? 6.2L 8cyl. Supercharged Maybe? MT 6 speed(not enough info released for this vehicle till the end of this year)MSRP $????

Won’t doubt the Camaro comes out with a package as well as the Challenger so that’s more power but would be enough to stand with the GT500?? The best brawl will be the GT500 and the SS maxed out on performance. Unless the Challenger gets some upgrades as well then they are even now the competition is on looks not power. Me personally the Eleanor oh yeah GT500 baby. Now a days its about 4cyl. and 6cyl. with the fart cans making the new domestic look like shit but I hate imports.

speed is my anti-drug.
Aug 28, 2008 at 6:12 am

After seeing and reading some of these comments its all ignorance to me and ppl trying to impress that’s all. Personally don’t care what car is best as long as it has some go and you can get an adrenaline rush out of it going more then 100mph by means let me drive it. I seen and read about 4 cylinder to 12 cylinder engines hit more then 1000hp. I will kill to drive any car with that much power. Simply all due to modifications done to the engine going from stock to a suicide machine. So if you know what your doing you can build yourself some balls out of any engine. Thanks to all car and engine designers our dreams of going fast have come true from the one horse power wagon to rockets that go to the moon. The newer cars are coming out the way us the people want them. What we demand that’s what the designers of all makes will build. We wanted gas savers we got hybrids,and imports such as hondas and so on. We wanted the old school muscle back we got the challenger, camaro, shelby gt500, gto, and so on…back.
We wanted luxury and power you got Ferrai’s, Lambos, Bughati’s, Corvettes…….. So what we demand and how we can play with the economy(meaning $$$) determines the way a car will be build.

slowmaro for everybody

chevy sucks, the new camaro sucks… the Mustang looks clean, & the challenger looks amazing…

Man, my Honda Civic K20 can take out the camaro ss… for real. V-TEC , slowmaro can’t touch this…

camaro the king why u think they parked in front mean

muscle was before 1970
Aug 28, 2008 at 3:51 am

When you compare the civic with the ss you need to take in the fact that the civic is na and the ss is a turbocharged car. the challenger is by far the best out of the pic. But all real muscle cars are before 1970.

Ford suck rat ass. Both the Challenger & Camaro look ten times better. If you ask me ford should give up. I would get that Camaro any day besides they did leave the best and very best for last .Ford can eat my 240sx dust (or AT least Intel I can get the new Camaro)!!!!!!!!!

Aug 27, 2008 at 3:38 pm

Wow I put one thing out there about zr1 and people get carried away i know you can compare them the only reason i did is because the challenger is 6.1 and the zr1 6.2 and look at the hours power differnce ….and Dragon55 Bugatti Veyron is 0-60 in 3sec right but that 65 impala that is 0-60 in 3.5 sp not much of difference between the classes huh

Dragon55
Aug 27, 2008 at 3:25 pm

The Bugatti Veyron would kill the ZR1, oh wait a minute, they are completly two different types of classes, kind of like the challenger and the ZR1, or the Civic SI and Camaros.

Fuck people quit comparing cars that are not even close to the same classes.

Dragon55
Aug 27, 2008 at 3:19 pm

197 hp 2L, wimpy little 139 ft/lbs of torque @ 11.0:1 compression. So you say that a 6.2L honda motor would produce 620hp, then why does the new 3.5L honda v6 produce only 268hp and 248 ft/lbs of torque? should it not produce 418 hp and 352 ft/lbs according to your logic?
Hmmmm?

Fuck people that think their Hondas are Ferraris!

haider
Aug 27, 2008 at 2:50 pm

first of all the mustang shelbyg gt500kr will shit on all these cars. fuck dodge. they over rate all there cars. the 09 gtr will fuck the challenger. i would give the challenger a 6 out of 10. the zr1 will also kill the challnger

Aug 27, 2008 at 9:28 am

Man you guys don’t make sense.When will you people stop bashing American vehicles? the whole argument is stupid.Another thing.You can’t compare a Corvette ZR-1 to a Mustang,Challenger or a Camaro.I could name 20 cars that’s faster than those 3 American muscle cars.The ZR-1 is 100 grand.There’s no comparison.The Challenger SRT-8 is 40 grand and It’s pretty fast and stylish.Chrysler and Dodge resale value is horrible but you can beat their prices.Your getting more bang for your buck.A Mustang Shelby vs. Dodge Challenger is a better argument.

hey ricer over redneck how bout u check out some chargers and chevelles and even novas with over 1500 horsepower streetlegal too, hows that for technology!! im not gonna say fuck imports cuzz i drive a CLK mercedes and i love it but i will say fuck asian imports especially civics!! and as for domestics well my cummins turbodiesel ram dually desimates civics and preludes everyday!!

honda is shit...
Aug 27, 2008 at 7:08 am

I rather drive a FORD than push a Chevy…
Mustang for sure… Then the Challenger…
Forget the slowmaro… Honda Civic? 4 banger that produces 197HP, still shit, cause it’s gonna get smoked either way… screw that 4 banger, American Muscle for life!

yeah!
Aug 27, 2008 at 5:57 am

i totally agree with wat ricer over redneck said i remember there was an article on the april 2008 modified mag tat has a 92 civic hatchback that produces more hp than a corvette z06. civics can be fast as long as the owner knows what he/she is doing. i love how people kept being ignorant when the facts are laid out in front of their eyes.

Ok ricer over redneck has a point civic 2L 200hp but the cobalt gets 260hp with a 2L do you cant down a domestic because the challenger is a 6.1v8 with 425 but the corvette zr1 is just a 6.2 with 638hp thats 213 hp more i just think domestic car makers are lazy and they just throwin engines in cars

Acy704
Aug 27, 2008 at 4:58 am

Dunkel Mann
Aug 27, 2008 at 4:16 am

ricer over redneck does have a point… I mean if you look at the M45, it has what, almost 450 hp if i remember correctly.

sure these cars don’t have as much hp/L as say, about any import car ever made after 1990 but at the same time, if they did im sure the gas mileage would be horrendous.

Aug 26, 2008 at 8:50 pm

mmm its funny how the “shitty” civic can get 200hp for only a 2L engine while the mustang has 300hp in a 4.6L engine, the 5.7L from the challenger only pushes 370hp and the camaro makes 400hp from a 6.2L engine!! Im no mathematician, but if somehow honda used its technology and produced an 6.2L engine, wouldnt that engine produce 620hp? fuck domestics

Son Of a Beach
Aug 26, 2008 at 7:07 pm

I know that the Mustang is a large coupe, but next to the Camaro and the Challenger it looks small. Which means that these C-cars are way too big, somewhat limiting their tossability. By the way, Jalopnik sucks, a bunch of circle jerkers trying to one-up each other and be humorous and cutsy while cutting others down. Pathetic losers.

Smitty
Aug 26, 2008 at 6:16 pm

I like all three for different reasons. I am a Ford guy, so all about the Mustang, but seriously Ford, you can pull much more than 300hp out of that 4.6. Camaro has the power, always has, just wish it looked a little more like the concept. Rear looks like they slacked off a little. And the Challenger is freakin sick lookin and has some awesome power. But with being over 4k, it weighs way too much compaired to the others, even with its HP. At with that big of a price tag, i say buy one of the other two. Saw one at a dealer out here in Cali, and it was a $25-30K dealer mark-up. Screw that. Can get a Shelby GT500 with more HP and lighter for that. Plus it is a Shelby! :) Just my thoughts. But they are all three sexy i think. Screw gas prices, if you can afford the car, who cares? LOL

Gino
Aug 26, 2008 at 6:04 pm

Vince, do not even mention honda civic on this page….regardless of gas prices…these three cars are at the top of the muscle car food chain…your civic could only settle for dead bottom at the tuner food chain..

Hehe, yeah I think it’s just you. That challenger ain’t going to be stealing nothing! For 41 Grand, it shouldn’t even be in the same pic as the GT mustang, but the Shelby since their more comparable in price, and that’s a battle the Challenger can’t win at 4200 pounds! Even with a Hemi!

Aug 26, 2008 at 10:39 am

The only way that ragdy ass mustang would earn a position in front is if it had over 400 hp which you would have to pay a good penny to get the upgraded models. If it was a Foose, Steeda, or gt500 supersnake, then I would shut my trap!

I am a long time Mopar fan but I have to say I like the Camaro better. A local dealership has a black Challenger and the lights look too small and the lower chin looks too big. Maybe a different color would be better but it just looks like a fat guy with a double chin and beady eyes.
