    Yeah, I hear ya. Like the Mustang, Chevy's giving you the V6 option. (Like I'd buy a Camaro with a V6...WTF?) I was just comparing the stock stock V8 for both.

    I agree that they should never place a v6 in a muscle car, however there is a v6 challenger too..... and the v6 in the camaro is rated @ 300 hp which is more hp than the stock mustang GT v8. So its not going to be a "small" v6. It supposedly is running to 60 mph in less than 6 seconds as reported by motor trend who has already test driven the 6 cylinder and said its a closer comparison to the new Infiniti g37 than to any other american v6 car.

    Camaro will hit dealerships in Spring 2009. I'm going to take a serious look at it as well as the Challenger. Might have one or the other in the garage by summer. I'm loving the looks of both, but damn that SS looks hot:

    Hmm this 1 is a hard descision for me. CHALLENGER!
    Looked at a new ford gt 500, and a new z06 before i made my descision. The mustangs are just overrated but i liked it. The z06 for the money has tuns of power, but is so cheesy it hurts. Im happy with my descision this challenger is built very well, great fit and finish and im getting 22mpg! Love my retro ride. Enjoy some short vids.

    Well as a MUSTANG guy I have to drop some knowledge on you guys. The pictures of the Mustang that were originally posted are not of a "real" (production) Mustang. This was a concept that was created by some guys over in Italy (hence the Lambo doors) that wanted to show the Mustang with some European styling. That particular design is at least two years old. The current design of the 2010 Mustang is going to be similar to what is already out but leaning more towards the fastback models of old. Check this link out to see more of what it looks like.

    Did I mention that I CHOOSE MUSTANG!?

    They said MUSCLE.... and nobody specified price range. And since we're all 'dreamin' here - I'll vote for the corvette!!

    Give it a few years and it'll be within price-range.

    If I had to pick between the three...Challenger for sure!! I'm just afraid of their transmissions!
