    2011 Mustang with the new 5.0L V8.:) All of the cars on that list are cool, though.

    The new Camaro is based on the Holden Commodore and has I.R.S. The new Camaro is actually an E body. I am assuming we are talking about the 2010 model. The F body Camaro (in production from 1967 - 2002) had a solid rear axle.

    Correct. The G8 is a rebadged Commodore made in Australia. The Camaro uses this platform, but is made in Canada. I see the new Camaro all day long at the Chevy dealer I work at and I must admit it's a nice car, but I like the 2011 Mustang a little better. Just a little.:D

    It's very cool that all three pony cars are available again and styled as modern versions of the models that made them famous. I wouldn't be ashamed to have any one of them in my garage. Now, if I can only find that damn money tree.:)

    Go for a used Lotus Elise. They can be had for under 35K and have a Toyota engine! They are easy to work on and the mods are endless.

    The new Camaro's are surprisingly incredibly fast. When one raced my friend on the track a little back, it did very good and almost kept up for a bit. I was blown away. It was stock and was just a beast. With some mods that thing will run amazing times.

    The one that was racing my friend ran 12.8-13.0 which is respectable. Plus they pull hard at speed.
