Mustang, Camaro, or Challenger - Which is the best base muscle car?

[@samlung2724]

The challenger can keep this same design for 500yrs and i will never complain. I think they hit the nail on the head with mixing modern and classic.

[@irondino247]

Agreed. They should focus on more tech or interior for future models but leave that look with a few tweaks!

[@dushyantkheddoo7919]

I agree 100% with you. It stands out of the three. It is the only one that really looks like a muscle car. For me it is the ultimate muscle car. I really like all 3 of them. But the mustang and the camaro look less like muscle cars with their new looks. I think that the challenger looks much better.

[@dorianmarchelgray5292]

I was at work thinking. What if the mustang goes back to their older large model? Like a updated version of the 1967 .. 🚗 Might be something. Add a awd ? Nice

Totally agree...I've been a ford mustang Cobra Shelby guy forever, but the Dobge Challenger made me jump ship with the retro look...keep the look but continue to improve the indoor tech. Just an awesome Dude looking car. Never been a Chevy Camaro guy...always wished for the return of the Thunderbird but that's not gonna happen.

Having driven them all, I personally feel the ecoboost is the best of the 3. However, they're all super super similar and just comes down to preference. The challenger is definitely the fat slow kid of the group, but still fun to drive with a good power band.

[@VermillionRacing]

@345gang it feels quicker, lighter, I love the interior and exterior design of the new mustangs. To me the car just handles fantastic and is feels like it pulls hard. However I will say the top end sucks. Also to note I love them all and wouldn't mind driving any of them, the mustang is just my preference. This day and time, it's purely personal preference since their performance is all so similar

[@NanceDrew]

@@VermillionRacing The top end is better in the high performance eco boost. LOVE it! That plus the individualized damping system on the wheels, magnaglide makes it feel like a luxury car OR a sports car depending upon which mode you put it in. That’s my experience anyways :)

@@NanceDrew it's interesting because I hear so many different opinions on it. Like to me it feels like it falls off way up top, but has a good mid.

[@coachtreyston]

I’m getting my first car next month and I’m trying to figure out which one of these 3 I want, thing is for the Camaro I would get the in-line if I chose the Camaro but the challenger I would get that v6 but idk what would you recommend

[@VermillionRacing]

@@coachtreyston if you're looking between the camaro and challenger, I'd go camaro. But you also gotta think about practicality to a certain degree. The challenger is MUCH much bigger on the inside, has good storage, but is slower because of its weight. The camaro is tiny in the interior and has little storage. The interiors are both wonderful, but I feel the camaro Is just ever so slightly better in its feel and design. Now personally between them all, I'd go with the mustang. Its the in between of the camaro and challenger, it's the fastest of the 3 usually (comparing to the 4cyl camaro), has the medium sized interior, a large trunk, and usable back seats. So it's the middle ground of the other two. Also to note, the camaro and mustang handle a lot better than the challenger.

The Camaros have minor things like the paint on the interior chipping and the window tint peeling.

Glad to see someone covering the base model options. I am shopping for what will probably be my last car, and planning to pay cash so every dime counts. Initially, I approached the situation with the idea in mind that I was going to buy a V8 or nothing as I have always driven V8 powered cars. My current car is an 04 Mustang GT with the 2V 4.6L. Apparently, I’ve been out of the loop for too long because I had no idea that these newer V6 powered cars were putting down the kinds of numbers that they are. A V6 putting down 300+ horsepower is amazing to me. Perhaps to a lot of younger folks these cars aren’t impressive, but to me they are plenty powerful enough for anything I would intend to use them for. There is a fair to moderate chance that I may go with a slightly older SS or GT just so that I don’t miss the sound of the V8 engine. I definitely want to drive at least the V6 Camaro before I spend my money though. If it runs at least as hard as my current car, I’ll be a buyer.

@@Ryzenberg78 I'm in Rochester. We don't seem to get dumped on quite as much (especially if you're near Oswego), but I'm in much the same snow belt. Now if you're a bit more rural, the lack of frequent snow plowing could be an issue, but my street seems to be the last in our area to get touched. I used to have a 77 Formula Firebird with a 400 and no weight in the back (not even a spare - stupid things we do when we're young) and drove through the winters too. I'm telling you, it's all about using good snow tires.

[@matrixbeastreloaded]

Yeah I understand what you mean the cheap plastic on the inside of the doors that easily scratched by fingernails in a camaro and the tail lights are what did it for me. Plus smaller windshield and room to see, its also not big guy friendly (not fat just I'm 6ft and in camaro my head almost touches roof). I was going to go with a SS camaro until I did research and decided last good looking one was 2013 model because of the tail end looked good. I looked at mustang but everyone has one its over hyped and they want WAY too much for the gt350 or gt500. Also compared to the others it looks like the dash has way less features its like bare bones. I went with a 2016 scat pack I couldn't afford a new one, now I regret I didnt get a Hellcat I just itch for more power lol. Challenger for the win! I dont go charger because if I wanted a sedan I would get a eco car. Also cops have chargers I wanna be different. Challenger all the way. I get atleast one compliment every trip out I take in it. I currently dont have badges on mine though so theres always cars like in this video that try to show off to me trying to race lol I love leaving them in the dust they have no clue I got a scat.

I agree. I bought the ecoboost premium cheaper than I could find either of the Camaro or Challenger packages. It really is the best you can get when you want a comfortable ride. I would say it really introduced me to the brand.

The Challenger is the quintessential muscle car. The gap between the three isn't huge at the base models but when you start to get into hellcats and demons there is no competition for the challenger.

[@billymania11]

The Challenger and Charger are based on the Mercedes S class chassis which was very good but very heavy. They also inherited the IRS rear. I've never ridden in either but with correct valving and damping, they should be very nice cars to ride in.

[@billymania11]

The base Mustang with the turbo 4 cylinder reminds of the SVO Mustang from the 80's. The SVO was super sharp but it needed an additional 100 horsepower to make it stand out. Sadly it died on the vine. Now it's spiritual successor is here and it's the real deal.

[@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374]

Yep you are right Racerx, the smaller displacements are the big volume sales for all of them combined. For instance, FCA sales more six bangers than RTs and are a lot more of them sold than Scat pks, SRTs & even less hellcats for that matter. A lot more people can afford sixes then V8 powered cars, and is how it's always been. Challenger looks best out of them all, but needs to be at least a Scat considering the weight factor and is the only true muscle car remaining in the segment

[@RacerX9]

Very good points.. yes I like the Scatpack trim on the challenger.. dodge is just so much heavier .. but love the hemi engine 👍
